■

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below

45ºF (7ºC)?

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above

45ºF (7ºC).

■

Is the dryer located in a closet?

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and

bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum

of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear

of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation

Instructions.

■

Has the Air Only modifier been selected?

Select the right temperature for the types of garments being

dried. See "Additional Features."

■

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?

Separate the load to tumble freely.

Cycle time too short

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 automatic cycle ending early?

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

dryer.

Change the dryness level setting on Auto Cycles. Increasing

or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of

drying time in a cycle.

Do not use a drying rack with an Auto Cycle.

Lint on load

■

Is the lint screen clogged?

Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

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. Do not use fabric softener sheets with

steam cycles.

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue

jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled

■

Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?

■

Was the dryer overloaded?

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.

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, rewash and dry the clothing.

■

Is the dryer being used for the first time?

The new electric heating element on electric models may have

an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle.
