If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Dryer Results (cont.)
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily or drying
times are too long
(cont.)
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 firm contact with the floor.
Clothes are coming out of the
Refresh cycle with damp or wet
spots.
Under certain environmental or installation conditions, you may experience
underdrying. Select the Timed Dry cycle, medium drying temperature, for
5 to 10 minutes.
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. If loads are consistently ending too early, see also “Changing the
Sensor Cycle settings to increase drying time.”
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.
Do not use fabric softener sheets with steam cycles.
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.
Select Custom Refresh Cycle to tumble the load with water and heat. This
cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from dry loads
consisting of one to 9 dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester
blend, common knits, and synthetic garments.
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. When using the Custom Refresh
cycle (on some models), adjust the garment number based on the load
size. Results may also vary depending on fabric type. This cycle is best for
reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton,
cotton-polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics.
For steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water inlet hose is
connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water inlet valve. Check that the
water supply is turned on.
