54 TROUBLESHOOTING
The Flow Sense (W)
indicator remains
active after clearing
the restriction in the
venting.
After clearing the restrictions, the Flow Sense (
W) system requires multiple,
consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the
Flow Sense (
W) indicator is reset.
•If the Flow Sense (
W) indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the
restriction has been cleared, call for service.
Appliance does not
heat.
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.
• 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.
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 size of the load, the type of fabrics,
the wetness of the clothes and the condition of the lint filter. An unbalanced load in the
washer can cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
Clothes take too long
to dry.
Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.
• Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and
obstructions. Make sure that the outside wall damper can open properly and is not
blocked, jammed, or damaged.
Load is not properly sorted.
• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry.
Light items in a load with heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry
faster.
Load contains large and heavy fabrics.
• 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.
Appliance controls are not set properly.
• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. Some loads may
require an adjustment of the dry level setting for proper drying.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up
to a light to see if the filter screen is dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high
amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be necessary to pause the cycle and clean
the filter during the cycle.
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.
• 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.
The appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency.
The appliance is underloaded.
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumble action. If
the load is small and you are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the electronic control cannot
properly sense the dryness of the load and may shut off too soon. Use Timed Drying cycles
or add some extra wet clothes to the load.
Energy Saver option is selected. (on some models)
•If using Normal cycle, deselect the Energy Saver option that is selected by default. This
option reduces enery use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is
normal to feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in Energy Saver mode.
