Solutions
Clothes take too long to
dry
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 de Secado (Sensor
Dry) cycles, the electronic control cannot
properly sense the dryness of the load
and may shut off too soon. Use Tiempo
de Secado (Time Dry) or add some extra
wet clothes to the load.
Energy Saver option selected
(on some models)
If using the Cotton/Normal cycle, deselect
the Ahorro de Energía(Energy Saver)
option. This option reduces energy use by
adding an air dry section to the beginning
of the cycle.
Drying time is not
consistent
Heat settings, load size, or
dampness of clothing is not
consistent.
The drying time for a load will vary
depending on the type of heat used
(electric, natural gas, or LP gas), the
size of the load, the type of fabrics, the
wetness of the clothes, and the condition
of the exhaust duct and lint filter. Even an
unbalanced load in the washer can cause
poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes
which will take longer to dry.
