Troubleshooting cont.
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Cycle time too short ACCUDRY™ or Automatic Dry cycle
ending early.
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the
dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the Dry Level
setting on ACCUDRY™/Automatic Dry cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the Dry Level setting will change the
amount of drying time in a cycle.
Lint on load Lint screen clogged. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Stains on load or drum Dryer fabric softener not 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 items.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled Load not removed from dryer at the
end of the cycle.
Select Wrinkle Shield™ feature to tumble the load without heat
to avoid wrinkling.
Dryer tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely and reduce formation of
wrinkles.
For steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water inlet
valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.
Odors You have 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.
For steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water inlet
valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.
The electric dryer is being used for
the rst time.
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the rst cycle.
Load is too hot Laundry items were removed from
the dryer before the end of the cycle.
Allow Cool Down cycle to nish before removing laundry from
dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduce wrinkling and make
it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may feel
very warm.
A high temperature cycle was used
or a separate temperature control
was set to high.
Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle.
These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the
load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness.
This reduces overdrying.
