Dryer Results (cont.)
The dryer is located in a room with
temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45ºF (7ºC).
The dryer is 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" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most
installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5” (127 mm).
See “Installation Instructions”.
Cycle time is too short
Clothes are coming out of the
Steam cycles with damp or wet
spots.
Under certain environmental or installation conditions you
may experience underdrying. Select the Custom Refresh
cycle. Then select the appropriate number of garments for the
load from the Number of Garments option.
The sensor cycle is ending early. 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 Cycle settings to increase
drying time”.
Lint on load
Lint screen is clogged with lint.
Stains on load
Improper use of fabric softener.
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can
stain your garments. Do not use fabric softener sheets with
steam cycles.
Loads are wrinkled
The load was not removed from
dryer at the end of the cycle.
Select Auto or Custom Refresh cycle (on some models) to
tumble the load with water and heat. These cycles are best
for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads
consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton polyester blends,
common knits, and synthetic garments.
NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean only
garments are not recommended.
The dryer was overloaded. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. When using the
Custom Refresh cycle (on some models), be sure to select the
correct number of garments to be refreshed. Results may also
vary depending on fabric type. This cycle is best for reducing
wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free
cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics.
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily or drying
times are too long
For steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water
inlet valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.
The load is too large and heavy
to dry quickly.
Fabric softener sheets are blocking
the grille.
The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint screen.
Check that it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet.
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Separate the load to tumble freely.
The load may not be contacting the
sensor strips on Sensor Cycles.
Level the dryer. See “Installation Instructions”. All four dryer
feet should be in rm contact with the oor.
Clean lint screen before each load.
Stains on drum
Loose dyes in clothes.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue
jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.
