FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

Operation
Q: When I press a button, why does my dryer beep and then nothing happens?
A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn off Control Lock , turn the dryer on, then press and
hold the button that has Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds.
Q: Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?
A: Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers. A lint filter which is full of lint or
clogged with fabric softener sheet residue can reduce the airflow to the point that the time required
to dry clothing will be greatly increased.
Q: Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes?
A: This is how the Wrinkle Care feature works. The dryer runs briefly every few minutes for up to 3
hours after the cycle finishes. This feature is designed to help prevent wrinkles from setting in when
the dryer is not unloaded immediately after the cycle is finished.

Problem Possible Cause & Solution
The Flow Sense

remains active after
clearing the
restriction in the
venting.

consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the
Flow Sense

• If the Flow Sense
TM
( W ) indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the
restriction has been cleared, call for service.
