Type of heat Automatic drying times will vary
according to the type of heat used
(electric, natural or LP gas), load size, type
of fabric, wetness of clothes and condition
of exhaust ducts.
Clothes take
too long to dry
Improper sorting Separate heavy items from lightweight
items.
(generally, a well sorted washer load is a
well-sorted dryer load).

moisture and take longer to dry. Separate
large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads
missing translation time.
Improperly set controls
Match control settings to the load you are

tripped circuit breaker
Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers.
Since most dryers use 2 fuses/breakers,
make sure both are operating.
Overloading
