menus using the LEARN MORE button.
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily or drying
times are too long
Lint screen is clogged with lint.
Clean lint screen before each load.
The Air Only temperature setting
has been selected.
Select the right temperature for the types of garments
being dried. See “Cycle Guide”.
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 exible metal vent.
See “Installation Instructions”.
The exhaust vent or outside
exhaust hood is clogged with lint,
restricting air movement.
The exhaust vent is not 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”.
The exhaust vent diameter is not
the correct size.
The dryer is not level.
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Sensor
cycles. See “Level the Dryer” in the Installation Instructions.
The dryer is located in a room with
temperature below 40ºF (4ºC).
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
40ºF (4ºC).
The dryer is 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" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most
installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm).
See “Installation Instructions”.
The load is too large and heavy
to dry quickly.
Fabric softener sheets are blocking
the grille.
The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint screen.
Check that it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet.
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Separate the load to tumble freely.
