If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Troubleshooting (cont.)
Cycle time too short Automatic cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the
dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the Dry Level
setting on Automatic Dry/Sensor Dry cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the Dry Level setting 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 Dryer tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely to reduce wrinkling.
Odors Recent 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.
Dryer 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 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.
High temperature cycle was used
or the Temperature control was set
on high.
Select a lower temperature, and use an Automatic Dry/Sensor
Dry 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.
