Possible Causes
Solution
TROUBLESHOOTING cont.
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 Automatic 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 Automatic Cycle
Default Settings.
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 Load not removed from dryer at the
end of the cycle.
Select Wrinkle Shield feature to tumble the load without heat to
avoid wrinkling.
Dryer overloaded.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely reduce wrinkles from
forming.
Odors Have you 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.
Is the electric dryer 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 Were laundry items 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 reduced wrinkling
and make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down
may feel very warm.
Was a high temperature cycle used,
or was a separate temperature
control set on high?
Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying 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.
