Troubleshooting

First try the solutions suggested here or consult the warranty sheet in the dryer

If you experience

Cycle time too short

Lint on load

Stains on load or drum

Loads are wrinkled

Odors

Load is too hot

for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.

Possible Causes

Automatic cycle ending early.

Lint screen clogged.

Dryer fabric softener not properly

used.

Load not removed from dryer at the

end of the cycle.

Dryer tightly packed.

You have recently been painting,

staining, or varnishing in the area

where your dryer is located.

The electric dryer is being used for

the first time.

Laundry items removed from the

dryer before the end of the cycle.

A high temperature cycle was used,

or a separate temperature control

was set on high.

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 Cycles.

Increasing or decreasing the Dry Level setting 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 feature to tumble the load without heat to

avoid wrinkling.

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely reduce 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 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.

Select a lower temperature and use an Automatic 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.
