■
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint, restricting air movement?
Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check
air movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace
exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See “Installation Instructions.”
■
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
■
Is the exhaust vent the correct length?
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will
increase drying times. See “Installation Instructions.”
■
Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?
Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter vent material.
■
Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45ºF (7ºC)?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45ºF (7ºC).
■
Is the dryer located in a closet?
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The front
of the dryer requires a minimum of 1" (2.5 cm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the
rear of the dryer requires 5" (12.7 cm). See the Installation Instructions.
■
Has the Air Only temperature setting been selected?
Select the right temperature for the types of garments being dried. See “Additional
Features.”
■
Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Cycle time too short
■
Is the automatic cycle ending early?
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.
Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles. Increasing or decreasing the
dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a cycle.
Lint on load
■
Is the lint screen clogged?
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.
Stains on load or drum
■
Was dryer fabric softener properly used?
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added
to a partially dried load can stain your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). This will not transfer to
other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled
■
Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?
■
Was the dryer overloaded?
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.
Odors
■
Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in the area where your dryer is
located?
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry
the clothing.
