TROUBLESHOOTING (cont.)

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

If you experience

Cycle time too short

Lint on load

Stains on load or drum

Loads are wrinkled

Odors

Load is too hot

Possible Causes

Automatic cycle ending early.

Lint screen clogged.

Dryer fabric softener was not

properly used.

The load was not removed from

the dryer at the end of the cycle.

Dryer tightly packed.

Painting, staining, or varnishing in

the area where your dryer is located.

Electric dryer being used for the

first time.

Laundry items removed from the

dryer before the end of the cycle.

High temperature cycle used, or

TEMPERATURE/Fabric control set

too high.

The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the

dryer. See Installation Instructions.

Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level

setting on Automatic Cycles.

Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the

amount of drying time in a cycle.

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

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.

Select Wrinkle Shield option to tumble the load without heat

to avoid wrinkling.

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely help to keep wrinkles

from forming.

If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone

from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor

will be gone after the first cycle.

Allow the Cool Down status to finish before removing laundry

from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduce wrinkling and

make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may

feel very warm.

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.
