Dryer Results

Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too long,

or load is too hot

■

Is the lint screen clogged with lint?

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

■

Has the Air Only temperature setting 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.

■

Are clothes coming out of the Refresh cycle with damp or

wet spots?

Under certain environmental or installation conditions you may

experience underdrying. Select the Touch Up cycle (20 min.

default time), which can be customized by selecting High

temperature and/or additional cycle time by pressing the Dry

Time up button.

■

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 sensor strips. Level the

dryer.

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 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?

Select Enhanced Touch Up Cycle to tumble the load with

water and heat. This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles

and reducing odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free

cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits and synthetic

garments.

NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean only

garments are not recommended.

■

Loads are still wrinkled following Steam Cycle?

Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water

inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer's water

inlet valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.

■

Was the dryer overloaded?

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Smaller loads of 1-4

garments yield best results with Quick Refresh Cycle. Results

may also vary depending on fabric type. This cycle is best for

reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-

free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits and

synthetics.

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 water connected to the dryer?

Check that water inlet hose is connected to both the faucet

and dryer's water inlet valve. Check that the water supply is

turned on.

■

To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select Quick

Refresh for small loads of 1-4 garments. This cycle is best for

reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-

free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits, and

synthetics.
