Trouble Shooting
Problem Possible causes What to do
Clothes Take
Too Long to Dry Improper sorting Separate heavy items from light-weight
items (generally, a well-sorted washer
load is a well-sorted dryer load).
Large loads of heavy fabrics
(like beach towels) Large, heavy fabrics contain more
moisture and take longer to dry.
Separate large, heavy fabrics into
smaller loads to speed drying time.
Controls improperly set Match control settings to the load you
are drying.
Lint filter is full Clean lint filter before every load.
Improper or obstructed ducting Check INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for
proper ducting/venting.
Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks
and unobstructed.
Check to see if outside wall damper
operates easily.
See the ‘Exhaust Venting’ section.
Blown fuses or tripped circuit
breakers Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers.
Since most dryers use 2 fuses/breakers,
make sure both are operating.
Overloading/combining loads Do not put more than one washer load
in the dryer at a time.
Underloading If you are drying only one or two items,
add a few items to ensure proper
tumbling.
Clothes are
Wrinkled Overdrying Select a shorter drying time.
Remove items while they still hold a
slight amount of moisture.
Letting items sit in dryer after
cycle ends Remove items when cycle ends and
fold or hang immediately.
Clothes Shrink Some fabrics will naturally
shrink when washed. Others
can be safely washed, but will
shrink in the dryer. To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care
labels exactly.
Some items may be pressed back into
shape after drying.
If you are concerned about shrinkage in
a particular item, do not machine wash
or tumble dry it.
