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 "Installation
Instructions."
■
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the 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 "Installation
Instructions."
■
Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material. See "Installation
Instructions."
■
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" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the
dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See "Installation Instructions."
Was the Air Dry temperature setting 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 Sensor cycle ending early?
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.
Change the dryness level setting on Sensor Cycles. Increasing or
decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying
time in a cycle.
Lint on load
■
Is the lint screen clogged?
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.
Stains on load or drum
■
Was dryer fabric softener properly used?
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).
This will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled
Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?
■
Select the Custom Refresh Cycle (on some models) to tumble the
load with water and heat to help smooth out wrinkles from a
load left in the dryer.
■
Was the dryer tightly packed?
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.
Odors
■
Have you recently been painting, staining, or varnishing in the
area where your dryer is located?
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from
the area, rewash and dry the clothing.
Is the dryer being used for the first time?
■
The new heating element may have an odor. The odor will be
gone after the first cycle.
