Possible Causes
The exhaust vent is not the
correct length.
The exhaust vent diameter is not the
correct size.
The dryer is not level.
The Air Dry temperature setting has
been selected.
The load is too large and heavy
to dry quickly.
Fabric softener sheets are blocking
the lint screen cover.
The dryer is located in a room with
temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).
The dryer is located in a closet.
The load may not be contacting the
sensor strips on Sensor Cycles.
The sensor cycle is ending early.
Lint screen is clogged with lint.
Improper use of fabric softener.
Loose dyes in clothes.
The load was not removed from dryer
at the end of the cycle.
The dryer was tightly packed.
Recent painting, staining, or
varnishing in the area where your
dryer is located.
Dryer being used for the first time.
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has
too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times.
See "Venting."
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Automatic
cycles. Check the levelness of the dryer. All four casters should
be in firm contact with the floor.
Select the correct temperature for the types of garments being
dried. See "Cycles."
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45ºF (7ºC).
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 5½" (140 mm). See "Location
Requirements."
Check the levelness of the dryer. All four casters should be in
firm contact with the floor.
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 "Cycles."
Clean lint screen 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.
Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean only garments
are not recommended.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the
area, rewash and dry the clothing.
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the first cycle
