▲WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Is the Auto Dry Cycle ending early?
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the
dryer.
Change the dryness level setting on Auto Dry Cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the
amount of drying time In a cycle.
Do not use a dryer rack with an Auto Dry Cycle.
Lint on load
Is the lint screen clogged?
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.
Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?
Select Touch Up Cycle to tumble the load with water and heat
to help smooth out wrinkles from a load left in the dryer.
Was the dryer overloaded?
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Smaller loads yield
best results with the Refresh Cycle. Results may also vary
depending on fabric type. This cycle is best for reducing
wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free
cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits and
synthetics.
Loads are still wrinkled following SteamCare cycles?
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water
inlet valve. Check that the water supply is turned on. These
cycles are 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.
Odors
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.
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.
Is the 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.
Is water connected to the dryer?
Check that water inlet hose is connected to both the faucet
and dryer’s water inlet valve. Check that the water supply is
turned on.
To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select the
Refresh cycle for small loads of two to four garments. This
cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from loads
consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton polyester blends,
common knits and synthetics.
