45 TROUBLESHOOTING
ENGLISH
Problem Possible Cause Solutions
Clothes take too long to
dry
Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty,
or duct run is too long.
Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly
configured and free of debris, lint, and
obstructions. Make sure that outside wall
dampers can open properly and are not
blocked, jammed, or damaged.
Load is not properly sorted. Separate heavy items from lightweight
items. Larger and heavier items take
longer to dry. Light items in a load with
heavy items can fool the sensor because
the light items dry faster.
Clothes take too long to
dry
Large load of heavy fabrics. Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because
they tend to retain more moisture. To help
reduce and maintain more consistent
drying times for large and heavy fabrics,
separate these items into smaller loads of
a consistent size.
Dryer controls are not set
properly.
Use the appropriate control settings for
the type of load you are drying. Some
loads may require an adjustment of the
dry level setting for proper drying.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned. Remove the lint from the filter before
every load. With the lint removed, hold
the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or
clogged. With some loads that produce
high amounts of lint, such as new bath
towels, it may be necessary to pause the
cycle and clean the filter during the cycle.
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do
not increase fuse capacity. If the problem
is a circuit overload, have it corrected by
a qualified electrician.
NOTE
Due to the design of electric dryers,
it is possible for a circuit problem to
allow an electric dryer to run without
heat.
Dryer is overloaded. Divide extra large loads into smaller
loads for better drying performance and
efficiency.
Dryer is underloaded. If you are drying a very small load, add a
few extra items to ensure proper tumbling
action. If the load is very small and you
are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the
electronic control cannot properly sense
the dryness of the load and may shut off
too soon. Use TIME DRY or add some
extra wet clothes to the load.
