Dryer Results

Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too
long, or load is too hot

Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with
lint, restricting air movement?

Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the
outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not
feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace
exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the
Installation Instructions.

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Is the exhaust vent the correct length?
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many
turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the
Installation Instructions.

Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?
Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter vent material.

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45ºF (7ºC)?

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45ºF (7ºC).

Is the dryer located in a closet?
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and
bottom of the door. The rear of the dryer requires 5" (12.7 cm)
of airspace, and the sides and front of the dryer require a
minimum of 1" (2.5 cm). See the Installation Instructions.

Has the Air Only modifier been selected?
Select the right temperature for the types of garments being
dried. See “Modifiers.”

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?
Separate the load to tumble freely.

Cycle time too short

Is the automatic cycle ending early?
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the
dryer.

Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the
amount of drying time in a cycle.

Lint on load

Is the lint screen clogged?
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

Stains on load or drum

Was dryer fabric softener properly used?
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can
stain your garments.

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue
jeans). This will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled

Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?

Was the dryer overloaded?
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.

Odors

Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in
the area where your dryer is located?
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone
from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.
