TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling for service
Your dryer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If your dryer does not
function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service.
Problem Possible Causes Solutions
Dryer will not
turn on
• Power cord is not properly plugged in.
• House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has
tripped, or power outage has occurred.
• Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a grounded outlet matching
the dryer’s rating plate.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the
problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
Dryer does not heat • House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has
tripped, or power outage has occurred.
• Gas supply or service turned off
(gas models only).
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the
problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
• Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully
open.
Greasy or dirty spots
on clothes
• Fabric softener used incorrectly.
• Clean and dirty clothes being dried
together.
• Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.
• Make sure to use your dryer to dry only clean items, because dirty items can
soil clean clothes placed in the same or subsequent loads.
• Stains on dried clothes are actually stains that were not removed during the
washing process.
Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned according to the
instructions for your washer and detergent.
Display shows error
code tE1 or tE2
• Thermistor is malfunctioning. • Turn off the dryer and call for service.
Lint on clothes • Lint filter not cleaned properly.
• Laundry not sorted properly.
• Excess static in clothes.
• Dryer is overloaded.
• Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.
• Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that
produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the
cycle.
• Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should
be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen
pants).
• See the Excess static in clothes after drying section below.
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
Excess static in
clothes after drying
• Fabric softener not used or used incorrectly.
• Clothes dried too long (overdried).
• Drying synthetics, permanent press, or
synthetic blends.
• Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity correctly. Do not use fabric
softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust
settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY cycles.
• These materials can cause static buildup. Try using a fabric softener.
Clothes are wrinkled • Clothes dried too long (overdried).
• Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle
ends.
• Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying
time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.
• Remove items from the dryer immediately at the end of the cycle. Use the
WRINKLE CARE option to continue tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for
up to 3 hours.
Drying time is not
consistent
• Heat settings, load size, or dampness of
clothing is not consistent.
• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type
of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of
fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust ducts and
lint filter.
