Performance
Clothes take too long
to dry.
Dryer 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 it 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.
• On models with a 3-piece lint filter, make sure to check, clean and reinstall both the inner
and outer parts of the filter.
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.
Dryer is a heat-pump model.
• Heat-pump dryer models can take longer to dry clothes. However, compared to a
conventional dryer, where the heater uses much more energy than the drum motor, a
heat-pump dryer uses a more efficient heat exchanger and will generally use less energy
overall, even during long cycles.
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
appliance can cause poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to
dry.
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Clothes are wrinkled. Clothes dried too long (overdried).
• Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or use
a lower dry level setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of
moisture.
Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.
• Use the Wrinkle Care option. This option will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes
for up to 2 hours to help prevent wrinkling.
Greasy or dirty spots
on clothes.
Fabric softener used incorrectly.
• Check and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.
• Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the clean
clothes in the same or later loads.
Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being placed in the dryer.
• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not removed during the washing process.
Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to the
instructions for your washer and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating
prior to washing.
