9. Problem: It Takes Too Long For My Clothes To Dry
Question What to Do
• Did you properly sort your loads of
laundry?
• Are you drying large loads of heavy
fabrics?
• Are the dryer controls properly set?
• Is the lint filter clean before each
new load of laundry?
• Are the exhaust ducts clear and
properly configured?
• Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit
breaker tripped?
• Did you overload your dryer?
• Did you under load your dryer?
Separate heavy weight items from light weight items when creating loads.
Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help
reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics,
separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.
Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.
Please confirm that the lint filter is clean prior to each new load of laundry.
Confirm through review of the appropriate sections of this manual that the exhaust
venting ductwork is properly configured. Confirm that the venting is free of
obstructions. Confirm that the outside wall dampers are moving freely, that the
dampers are not pushed in, and that nothing has been set against the dampers.
Check your home’s or laundry room’s fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the
fuse or reset the circuit breaker. (IMPORTANT: electric dryers generally use two
fuses or breakers.)
Divide your larger load into a number of smaller loads.
If you are only drying a handful of items, add a few extra pieces to help ensure
proper tumbling action.
10. Problem: My Clothes Are Wrinkled
Question What to Do
• Are you over drying your laundry?
• Are you removing your laundry
from the dryer soon after the
drying cycle is complete?
Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying
time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.
Remove your laundry from the dryer after the drying cycle ends and either hang or
fold the items.
11. Problem: My clothes are shrinking
Question What to Do
• Are you following the care
instructions for your garment?
To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the care and use instructions for your
garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics
can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer.
12. Problem: RLM (Remote Laundry Monitor)
Question What to Do
