52 TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Clothes take too long to
dry
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 Cotton/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.
