SHRINKAGE,
GENERAL

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

● 

Dryer unplugged. Make sure power cord is plugged in.

. No power to dryer. Check fuses and circuit breakers to make sure dryer is getting

current. Most electric dryers use two.

● 

Controls improperly set. Make sure controls are set and START switch is pushed.

Opening the door during operation stops the dryer. Tore-start, close the door and push
the START switch.

● 

Dryer door is open. Close door securely—dryer will not run with door open.

● 

Circuit is overloaded. Do not operate other appliances on the same electrical outlet

or circuit while the dryer is operating.

● 

Controls improperly set. Check all controls to make sure they are correctly set for

the load you want to dry. See pages 5-7.

● 

Clogged lint filter. Remove and clean filter before every load. Periodically clean area

under lint filter with vacuum cleaner. See page 13.

● 

Improper ducting. Make sure dryer is 

 in accordance with Installation

Instructions.

 Obstruction in exhaust ducting. Make sure ducting is clean and free of obstruction;

make sure damper in outside wall cap operates easily. If flexible ducting is used, be
sure it is not kinked and is properly installed according to Installation Instructions.

● 

Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Check household fuses or circuit breakers.

Most electric dryers use two. It is possible for one to be blown or tripped and the dryer
still tumble without heat.

● 

Improper sorting. Do not mix heavy, hard-to-dry items with lightweight articles.

● 

Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take a long time to

remove moisture.

● 

Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.

● 

Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two more similar articles, even

if dry, to insure proper tumbling.

● 

Some fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or washed by hand

and drip dried; others may be 

 washed but will shrink in a dryer. 

 Garment

Manufacturers’ Care Labels exactly. If in doubt, do not machine wash or tumble dry.
