for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible Causes
The dryer is not level.
The load is too large and heavy to dry
quickly.
Fabric softener sheets are blocking
the grille.
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.
The electric dryer is being used for
the first time.
Load removed before cooldown
portion of cycle complete.
Using Timed Dry cycle with a high
temperature setting.
Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Sensor
cycles. See "Level Dryer" in the Installation Instructions.
Separate the load to tumble freely.
The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint screen.
Check that it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet.
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 5" (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions.
Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer
feet 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.
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.
NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only
garments are not recommended.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Results may also vary
depending on fabric type.
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.
Allow the dryer to complete the cooldown portion of the cycle
before removing the load.
Select a Sensor cycle with a lower heat setting to avoid
overdrying the load.
