Clothes are not drying satisfactorily
Check the following:
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
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 "Installation Instructions."
Has an Air Dry cycle been selected? Select the right cycle for
the types of garments being dried. See "Cycles."
Is an automatic cycle ending early? The load may not be
contacting the electronic sensor strips, level the dryer.
Is the valve open on the gas supply line?
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one
fabric softener sheet and only use it once.
Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45°F (7°C)?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45°F (7°C).
Was a cold rinse water used? Was the load very wet?
Expect longer drying times with items rinsed in cold water
and with items that hold moisture (cottons).
Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with a heavy
metal or flexible metal vent. See "Installation Instructions."
Has a fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?
