■ Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to back and side to side?
The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation Instructions.
■ Is the clothing knotted or balled up?
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the load
items and restart the dryer.

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.
■ 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 “Venting Requirements.”
■ Are fabric softener sheets blocking the lint screen 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 “Plan Vent System.”
■ Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?
Use 4" (10.2 cm) 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" (2.5 cm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the
rear of the dryer requires 5" (12.7 cm). See “Installation Instructions.”
■ Has an air dry modifier 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.
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 Sensor Dry Cycles. Increasing or decreasing the
dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a cycle.
Do not use a dryer rack with a Sensor Dry cycle.
