Warning
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using this appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
•
Unplug the dryer before cleaning to avoid the risk
of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or
solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the
finish.
cleaning the exterior
Proper care of your dryer can extend its life.
The outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm
water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent.
Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth.
cleaning the interior
Wipe around the door opening and seal with a soft,
damp cloth to prevent lint and dust buildup that could
damage the door seal.
Clean the window with a soft cloth dampened with
warm water and a mild, nonabrasive household
detergent; then wipe dry.
The stainless steel drum can be cleaned with a
conventional stainless steel cleaner, used according to
the manufacturer’s specifications.
Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can
scratch or damage the surface.
cleaning around and under the dryer
Vacuum lint and dust from around the dryer and
underneath it regularly. Vent ductwork should be
checked for lint buildup and cleaned at least once per
year. If any noticeable reduction in airflow or drying
performance occurs, immediately check ductwork for
obstructions and blockages.
maintaining ductwork
Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup once
per month and cleaned at least once per year. If any
noticeable reduction in airflow or drying performance
occurs, immediately check ductwork for obstructions
and blockages. Contact a qualified technician or
service provider.
cleaning the lint filter
Always clean the lint from the filter after every cycle.
To clean, open the dryer door and pull the lint filter
straight up. Then:
1. For everyday cleaning, roll any lint off the filter with
your fingers, or
2. Vacuum the lint filter.
3. If the lint filter has become very dirty or clogged
with fabric softener, wash the lint filter in warm,
soapy water and allow to dry thoroughly before
reinstalling.
notE
NEVER operate the dryer without the lint filter in
place. NEVER operate the dryer with a wet lint filter.

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.

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.

• 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.
