Problem

 

Possible Causes 

What To Do

Clothes take too long

 

Improper sorting

 

• Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally,  

to dry

 

 

  a well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).

 

Large loads of heavy fabrics  

 

• Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take  

 

(like beach towels)

 

  longer to dry. Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller  

 

 

  loads to speed drying time.

 

Controls improperly set

 

• Match control settings to the load you are drying.

 

Lint filter is full

 

• Clean lint filter before every load.

 

Improper or obstructed 

 

• Check installation instructions for proper  

 

ducting

  

ducting/venting.

 

 

• Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and  

  

 

unobstructed.

 

 

• Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily.

 

 

• Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the 

 

 

  dryer venting is correct.

 

Blown fuses or tripped 

 

• Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most dryers 

 

circuit breaker 

 

  use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating.

 

Overloading/combining loads

 

• Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at  

  

 

time.

 

Under-loading

 

• If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items   

 

 

  to ensure proper tumbling.

Clothes are wrinkled

 

Over-drying

 

• Select a shorter drying time.

 

 

• Remove items while they still hold a slight amount of  

 

 

  moisture. Select a 

Less Dry

 or 

Damp Dry

 setting.

 

Letting items sit in dryer 

 

• Remove items when cycle ends and fold or hang 

 

after cycle ends

  

immediately.

 

Overloading

 

• Separate large loads into smaller ones.

Clothes shrink

 

Some fabrics will naturally shrink

   • To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care labels exactly. 

 

when washed. Others can be 

 

   

 

 

safely washed, but will shrink

 

• Some items may be pressed back into shape after drying. 

 

in the dryer

 

• If you are concerned about shrinkage in a particular 

 

 

  item, do not machine wash or tumble dry it

  • If using the 

Steam Dewrinkle

 cycle, manually reduce  

damp after steam cycle

 

 

  the cycle time. If using the

 

Steam Refresh

 cycle, add  

 

 

 

  more garments to the load.

Collars and waistbands

 

The dryness monitor senses

 • 

Choose 

Speed Dry

 or 

Timed Dry

 to dry damp collars 

 

still wet at end of cycle

 

that the body of the clothes

 

  and waistbands. In the future, when drying a load with    

 

is dry

 

  collars and waistbands, choose 

More Dry

.

Slight variation 

 

This is normal

 

• Due to the metallic properties of paint used for this unique 

in metallic color

 

 

  product, slight variations of color may occur due to 

 

 

  viewing angles and lighting conditions.
