What are Sensor Dry and Manual Dry?
Your dryer provides sensor drying and manual drying programs.
Sensor Dry Dryer electronically senses laundry moisture level and automatically determines operation time based on the dryness of the load and the selected program. The control will change the estimated time remaining if it senses a large change in the time needed to complete the cycle. These large increases or decreases in the time display are normal, and do indicate a product malfunction.
Manual Dry Manual Dry allows you to set the desired dry time manually. Certain types of loads, such as large and/or bulky loads, may not dry properly using Sensor Dry. These loads should be dried using the Manual Dry feature to ensure complete drying.

Empty water container
If your dryer is not connected to a household drain, then the water reservoir will capture the water from the drying process. This should be emptied every load. Failure to do so may result in poor drying performance.
If the container becomes full during a cycle, the EMPTY WATER light and alarm will be activated. In this case, the water reservoir should be emptied immediately, but in no case should it continue to be used for more than 1 hour.
1. Using the handle on the front of the drawer, pull out the reservoir.
2. Using the handle on the front of the drawer, pull out the reservoir.
3. Drain the water into a sink.
4. Press the START/PAUSE button to resume the cycle.
Condenser
The condenser is a very important part of your dryer. This is where the moisture is removed form the air so there is no need for an outside exhaust. If the condenser is not properly maintained, it will greatly increase energy consumption and drying time. The condenser should be cleaned 3 or 4 times a year, or anytime the CLEAN CONDENSER light blinks.
1. Push the tap and open the condenser cover.
2. Unlock the inner plate by rotating the locking levers on either side of the plate. Then slide the plate out of the opening.
3. Carefully slide the condenser straight out of the housing using the finger ring at the center. Use care when handling the condenser to prevent damage that could reduce its efficiency.
4. Thoroughly clean the condenser by running tap water through it from both the ends and the sides.
5. Slide the clean condenser into the housing. Make sure it is oriented as shown in the drawing in step 3.
6. Insert the inner plate into the opening in front of the condenser, then rotate the locking tabs to lock it in place. Then close the front cover.
CAUTION
• NEVER operate the dryer without the condenser in place.
• Do not operate the dryer with a dirty or clogged condenser. Doing so will increase energy consumption and drying times.
• Handle the condenser with care. Do not use sharp or hard objects to clean the condenser as this could damage the condenser.
• Do not operate the dryer with a damaged condenser. Doing so could result in leaking which may result in property damage.
Ventilation Grille and Cool Air Inlet Grille
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the front ventilation grill and the cool air inlet in the back. Failure to remove any lint or dirt buildup will reduce air flow and increase energy consumption and drying times.
Note
The warm air is exhausted through the ventilation grill.
Condensed Water Drain
Condensed water is pumped to the reservoir which must be emptied every load. If a household drain is available, this water can be pumped down the drain so the reservoir is not used.
1. Slide the drain connection out the opening located on the back of the dryer on the right side as your face the rear of the dryer.
2. Disconnect the hose from that goes up to the reservoir.
3. Connect the external drain hose included with the dryer. Route this hose to a permanent drain and secure the hose so it can not come loose.
Moisture Sensor
This sensor is used by the control to sense the moisture remaining in the clothes. If the sensor becomes dirty or coated the control will not be able to sense the moisture and the dryer will shut off before the clothes are dry.
Clean the sensor bars as shown below to maintain optimum performance of the Sensor Dry cycles.

Troubleshooting Guide
Troubleshooting Tips
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.
1. Problem: My dryer won't start
| Question | What to Do |
| Is the dryer plugged in? | Confirm that the dryer's plug is securely and completely pushed into the power outlet |
| Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit breaker tripped? | Check your home's or laundry room's fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. |
2. Problem: My dryer doesn't heat
| Question | What to Do |
| Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit breaker tripped? | If the fuse is blown or the circuit breaker tripped, the dryer might tumble but not heat. Check your home or laundry room fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. |
3. Problem: There are greasy spots on my clothes
| Question | What to Do |
| Did you follow the instructions on your fabric softener product? | Check and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener product. |
| Are you drying clean and dirty clothes together? | Make sure to use your dryer to dry only clean items, because dirty items can soil clean clothes placed in the same load or later placed in the dryer drum. |
| Were your clothes entirely clean? | Stains on dried clothes are actually stains that weren't removed during the washing process. Make sure you are following your washing instructions and that the clothes are being completely cleaned. |
4. Problem: There is lint on my clothes
| Question | What to Do |
| Is your lint filter full? | Please refer to the manual section on cleaning the lint filter, and please confirm that the lint filter is clean. It is important that the lint filter is clean before each new load of laundry. |
| Did you properly sort your load of laundry? | In order to reduce the amount of lint in a load of laundry, sort lint producers (like a fuzzy white cotton towel) separately from clothes that might catch lint (such as a pair of black linen pants). |
| Do your clothes have excess static electricity? | See comments below under item 5, There is static in my clothes after drying. |
| Did you overload your dryer? | Divide your larger load into smaller loads. |
| Did you place any paper, tissue, or other similar material in the load? | Sometimes a person might forget to take a piece of paper or a tissue out of the pocket of a pair of pants, and this paper, tissue, or similar material can cause excess lint in a load of laundry. Confirm that the pockets of pants, shirts, and other articles of clothing are empty before washing and drying. |
5. Problem: There is static in my clothes after drying
| Question | What to Do |
| Did you use fabric softener? | Try using a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. |
| Did you over dry the load of laundry? | Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a build up of static electricity. Try using a fabric softener or adjust your settings and use a shorter drying time |
| Are you drying synthetic, permanent press and blends? | These materials can cause static to build up in a load of dried clothes. Try using a fabric softener. |
6. Problem: The drying time is not consistent
| Question | What to Do |
| Are you using consistent heat settings and consistent load sizes? | The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the lint filter. |
7. Problem: It takes too long for my clothes to dry
| Question | What to Do |
| Did you properly sort your loads of laundry? | Separate heavy weight items from light weight items when creating loads. |
| Are you drying large loads of 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. |
| Are the dryer controls properly set? | Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. |
| Is the lint filter clean before each new load of laundry? | Please confirm that the lint filter is clean prior to each new load of laundry. |
| Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit breaker tripped? | Check your home's or laundry room's fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. |
| Did you overload your dryer? | Divide your larger load into a number of smaller loads. |
| Did you under load your dryer? | If you are only drying a handful of items, add a few extra pieces to help ensure proper tumbling action. |
8. Problem: My clothes are wrinkled
| Question | What to Do |
| Are you overdrying your laundry? | Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture. |
| Are you removing your laundry from the dryer soon after the drying cycle is complete? | Remove your laundry from the dryer after the drying cycle ends and either hang or fold the items. |
9. Problem: My clothes are shrinking
| Question | What to Do |
| Are you following the care instructions for your garment? | To avoid shrinkage, carefully follow the care and use instructions for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. |
