TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
If you experience
Possible Causes
Solution
Cycle time too short
Automatic cycle ending early.
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 Dry cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the Dry Level setting will change
the amount of drying time in a cycle.
Lint on load
Lint screen clogged.
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Stains on load or drum
Dryer fabric softener not 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
Load not removed from dryer at the end
of the cycle.
Select Wrinkle Control feature to tumble the load without
heat to avoid wrinkling.
Dryer tightly packed.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely to reduce the
chance of wrinkles forming.
Odors
You have 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.
The electric dryer is being used for the
fi rst time.
The new electric heating element may have an odor.
The odor will be gone after the fi rst cycle.
Load is too hot
Laundry items removed from the dryer
before the end of the cycle.
Allow Cool Down cycle to fi nish 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.
A high temperature cycle was used,
or a separate temperature control was
set on High.
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.
