■

Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with

lint, restricting air movement?

Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the

outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not

feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace

exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the

Installation Instructions.

■

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?

Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

■

Is the exhaust vent the correct length?

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many

turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the

Installation Instructions.

■

Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?

Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.

■

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.

Cycle time too short

■

Is the automatic cycle ending early?

The load may not be contacting the moisture sensor strips.

Level the dryer.

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.

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?

Remove garments promptly to prevent wrinkling.

■

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.

Changing the Automatic Default Settings

IMPORTANT: Your dryness level settings can be adjusted to

adapt to different installations, environmental conditions, or

personal preference. This change is retained and will affect all of

your AUTOMATIC cycles, not just the current cycle/load.

If all your loads on all AUTOMATIC Cycles are consistently not as

dry as you would like, you may change the default settings to

increase the default dryness level. This change will affect all of

your Automatic Cycles.

There are 3 drying settings, which are displayed using the WET,

DAMP, and COOL DOWN indicators:

1. (factory preset dryness level) - WET indicator lit.

2. (slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time) - WET and

DAMP indicators lit.

3. (much drier clothes, 30% more drying time) - WET, DAMP,

and COOL DOWN indicators lit.

To change the AUTOMATIC default settings:

NOTE: The AUTOMATIC default settings cannot be changed

while the dryer is running.

1. Press and hold the TEMP button for at least 6 seconds. The

dryer will beep, and the current drying mode will be displayed.

2. To select a new drying setting, press the TEMP button again

until the desired drying setting is shown.

NOTE: While cycling through the settings, the current setting

will be lit solid, but the other settings will flash.

3. Press the START/PAUSE button to save the drying setting and

exit to standby mode.

NOTE: To exit without saving, press the POWER button.

4. The drying setting you selected will become your new preset

drying setting for all AUTOMATIC cycles.
