48 TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Clothes take too
long to dry
Drying time is not
consistent
Possible Cause
Large load of heavy fabrics.
Dryer controls are not set
properly.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
Dryer is overloaded.
Dryer is underloaded.
ENERGY SAVER option
selected (on some models)
Heat settings, load size, or
dampness of clothing is not
consistent.
Solutions
• 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. Some loads may require an adjustment
of the dry level setting for proper drying.
• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With
the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it
is dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high
amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be
necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during
the cycle.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have
it corrected by a qualified electrician.
• NOTE: Due to the design of electric dryers, it is
possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer
to run without heat.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better
drying performance and efficiency.
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra
items to ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is
very small and you are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the
electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of
the load and may shut off too soon. Use TIME DRY or
add some extra wet clothes to the load.
• If using the Normal cycle, deselect the ENERGY
SAVER option. This option reduces energy use by
adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle.
• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the
type of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP gas),
the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of
the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust duct and
lint filter. Even an unbalanced load in the washer can
cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which
will take longer to dry.
