Before Calling For Service (cont.)
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.
Clothes take
too long to dry
• Load is not properly sorted.
• Large load of heavy fabrics.
• Dryer controls are not set
properly.
• Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
• Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or
duct run is too long.
• House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
• Dryer is overloaded.
• Dryer is underloaded.
• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier
items take longer to dry.
• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more
moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times
for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of
a consistent size.
• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are
drying.
• 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.
• Confirm that the exhaust ductwork is properly configured and free
of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers
can open properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.
• 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.
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure
proper tumbling action.
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.
Clothes are
shrinking
• Garment care instructions are
not being followed.
• To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care instructions
for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when
washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a
dryer. Use a low or no heat setting.
CHECK FILTER
light is on
during the
drying cycle
• Lint filter is almost clogged or
full.
• Pause the drying cycle and clean the lint filter.
FLOW SENSE
TM
indicator
shows four
bars during the
drying cycle
or the display
shows “d80”
after drying.
• Ductwork is too long or has too
many turns/restrictions.
•
Significant blockage of the
ductwork due to lint buildup or
debris.
• The appliance has detected a
restriction in the external dryer
venting.
• Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation
Instructions.
• Ductwork should be checked/cleaned soon.
Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying times may be longer.
• If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the FLOW SENSE
TM
system, the
indicator will remain on for two hours after the end of the cycle.
Opening the door or pressing the POWER button will turn off the
display.
The display
shows “d80”,
“d90”, “d95”
• The duct work is about 80%,
90%-95% blocked.(“d80”, “d90”
or “d95” error code displayed 2
hours only)
• House exhaust system blocked.
•
Using the dryer with a severely restricted exhaust
is dangerous and could result in a fire or other property damage.
• Check the outside dryer vent while the dryer is operating to make
sure there is strong airflow.
• If the exhaust system is extremely long, have it repaired or rerouted.
• Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter.
• Check vent hood for damage or lint clogging.
• Make sure the area around the vent hood is clear.
