FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

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.
Q:
Why does my dryer show 3 minutes when I select the
Steam Fresh
cycle?
A:
When the
Steam Fresh
cycle is selected, the dryer displays the recommended number of garments
for the cycle, not the estimated cycle time, until the cycle is started. Use the
Time Dry
button to adjust
the load size setting for the number of garments you desire.
