If you experience Possible Causes Solution
TROUBLESHOOTING CONT.
Cycle time too short Sensor cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the
dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level
setting on Sensor Cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount
of drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending too early,
see also “Changing the Sensor Cycle Settings.”
Lint on load Lint screen clogged. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Stains on load or drum Dryer fabric softener not 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).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled Load not removed from dryer at the
end of the cycle.
Select Touch Up Cycle to tumble the load with water and heat.
This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing
odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton
polyester blends, common knits, and synthetic garments.
NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean only
garments are not recommended.
Dryer is tightly packed. Dry loosely packed loads that can tumble freely.
Odors You have 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.
The electric dryer is being used for
the first time.
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the first cycle.
Load is too hot Laundry items removed from the
dryer before the end of the cycle.
Allow the Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry
from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling
and make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down
may feel very warm.
A high temperature cycle was used,
or a separate temperature control
was set on high.
Select a lower temperature, and use a sensor drying cycle.
These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the
load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness.
This reduces overdrying.
