TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Dryer Results (cont.)
Drying times are too
long and clothes are not
getting dry (cont.)
The dryer is not level. Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Sensor
cycles. See “Level Dryer” in the Installation Instructions.
The load is too large and heavy to dry
quickly.
Separate the load to tumble freely.
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.
The dryer is located in a room with
temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45ºF (7ºC).
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 the Installation Instructions.
Cycle time is too short The load may not be contacting the
sensor strips on Sensor cycles.
Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer
feet should be in rm contact with the oor.
The Sensor cycle is ending early. Change the dryness level setting on Sensor cycles. Increasing
or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying
time in a cycle.
Lint on load Lint screen is clogged with lint. Clean lint screen before each load.
Stains on load Improper use of fabric softener. Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain
your garments.
Stains on drum Loose dyes in clothes. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled The load was not removed from dryer
at the end of the cycle.
NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only
garments are not recommended.
The dryer was tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Results may also vary
depending on fabric type.
Odors Recent painting, staining, or
varnishing in the area where your
dryer is located.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the
area, rewash and dry the clothing.
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 too hot Load removed before cooldown
portion of cycle complete.
Allow the dryer to complete the cooldown portion of the cycle
before removing the load.
Using Timed Dry cycle with a high
temperature setting.
Select a Sensor cycle with a lower heat setting to avoid
overdrying the load.
First try the solutions suggested here or refer to the “Assistance or Service” page
for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
