TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Cycle time too short Automatic cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level
setting on Auto Dry 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 also Changing the Auto Cycle Settings to increase
Drying Time.
Lint on load Lint screen clogged. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Stains on load or drum Dryer fabric softener not 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).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled The load was not removed from dryer
at the end of the cycle.
Select Wrinkle Guard™ feature to tumble the load without heat
to avoid wrinkling.
Dryer tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely to reduce wrinkles from
forming.
Odors You have 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.
The electric dryer is being used for the
first time.
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will
be gone after the first cycle.
Load is too hot Laundry items were removed from the
dryer before the end of the cycle.
Allow the Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry from
dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduce wrinkling and make it
easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may feel very
warm.
A high temperature cycle was used or
the Dry Temp control set on high.
Select a lower temperature, and use an Auto Dry cycle. These
cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the load and
shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This reduces
overdrying.
