If you experience
Possible Causes
Solution
TROUBLESHOOTING cont.
Cycle time too short
Sensor cycle ending early.
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level
setting on Sensor Cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount
of drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending too early,
see also Changing the Sensor Dry Default Settings.
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
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.
Is the electric dryer being used for the
rst time?
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will
be gone after the rst cycle.
Load is too hot
Were laundry items removed from
the dryer before the end of the cycle?
Allow the Cool Down cycle to nish before removing laundry
from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling and
make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may
feel very warm.
Was a high temperature cycle used,
or was a separate temperature
control 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.
Load not removed from dryer at the
end of the cycle.
Select Wrinkle Prevent feature to tumble the load without heat to
avoid wrinkling.
