TROUBLESHOOTING coni
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Cycle time too short Automatic cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.
Use Time Dry for very small loads. Change the Dry Level
setting on Auto Dry Cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the Dry Level setting will change the
amount of drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending
too early, see “Changing the EvenHeat™ Auto Dry Cycle Settings
to Increase Drying Time”.
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 Was the load not removed from
dryer at the end of the cycle? Select Wrinkle Guard™ feature to tumble the load without heat
to avoid wrinkling.
Dryer overloaded. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely reduce wrinkles from
forming.
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, re wash and dry the clothing.
Is the electric 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 Were laundry items removed from
the dryer before the end of the
cycle? Allow Cool Down 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.
V
Was a high temperature cycle
used or was Dry Temp set on high? Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic 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.
