overload. 1 Wash load = 1 Dryer load.
• Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
• Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Check that the washer is draining properly to extract adequate water from the load.
• Clothes load too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.

drying cycle.
• Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation manual.
• Be sure the rubber feet are installed on the leveling legs.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer
drum and exhaust system.
• Seams, pockets and other similar heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of
the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the SENSOR DRY
LEVEL
VERY
setting if desired.
• If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible
that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the
selected dryness level. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
• Household odors such as from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer
with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room,
heats it, pulls it through the tumbler and exhausts it to the outside. When these odors are
present in the air, ventilate the room completely
before
using the dryer.
• The dryer has experienced a power failure. Press
OFF
