TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Unit doesn’t
heat
Fuse is blown/circuit
breaker is tripped; the unit
may tumble but not heat
Check the building’s fuse/circuit breaker box and replace both
fuses or reset both breakers. Your unit may tumble if only one
fuse is blown or one breaker tripped.
Inconsistent
drying times
Type of load and drying
conditions
The load size, types of fabric, wetness of clothes and/or air
intake vent located on the front of the unit will affect drying
times.
Excess debris has collected
on the fan preventing
proper airflow
Refer to the Care and Cleaning section.
Clothes are
still wet and
unit shuts off
after a short
time
The door was opened
mid-cycle. The load was
then removed from the
unit and a new load put in
without selecting a new
cycle
A dry cycle must be reselected each time a new load is put in.
Load was already dry
except for collars and
waistbands
Choose Timed Dry to dry damp collars and waistbands. In the
future, when drying a load with collars and waistbands, choose
Auto Extra Dry.
Unit is not level Move unit to an even floor space or adjust leveling legs as
necessary until even.
Clothes are
wrinkled
Letting items sit in unit
after cycle ends
Remove items when cycle ends and fold or hang immediately,
or use the Ext Tumble option.
Overloading Separate large loads into smaller ones.
Clothes shrink Some fabrics will naturally
shrink when washed.
Others can be safely
washed, but will shrink
while drying in the unit.
To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care labels exactly.
Some items may be pressed back into shape after drying.
If you are concerned about shrinkage in a particular
item, do not machine wash or tumble dry it.

softener

Drying dirty items with
clean ones

are wet appear after drying. Use proper washing procedures
before drying.
