TROUBLESHOOTING – DRYER (CONT.)
Possible Causes
240V models: The drum may be turning, but you may not have
heat. Electric dryers use two household fuses or circuit breakers.
Replace both fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
240V models: Electric dryers require 240 volt power supply.
Check with a qualified electrician.
120V models: 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 the Casual and Delicates cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the Dryness Level setting will change the
amount of drying time in a cycle.
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
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.
Run the Air Only cycle to tumble the load without heat
to avoid wrinkling.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely to reduce the chance
of wrinkles forming.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the
area, rewash and dry the clothing.
be gone after the first cycle.
All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling and make it
easier to handle. Items removed before the cool down may feel
very warm.
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.
