TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
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.
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 Wrinkle Prevent cycle to tumble the load without heat to
avoid wrinkling.
Dryer tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely reduce wrinkles from
forming.
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 dryer to finish the cool down cycle 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 the Temp was set on high.
Select a lower temperature, and use an 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.
