TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Problem Possible Cause Solutions
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
type of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP gas), the
size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of
the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust duct and
lint fi lter. Even 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.
Load is not properly sorted.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
Dryer controls are not set
properly.
Lint fi lter needs to be cleaned.
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
Dryer is overloaded.
Dryer is under loaded.
Energy Saver option is selected.
Confi rm that the exhaust duct is properly confi gured
and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure
that outside wall dampers can open properly and are
not blocked, jammed, or damaged.
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.
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.
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.
Remove the lint from the fi lter before every load. With
the lint removed, hold the fi lter up to a light to see if it
is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning
instructions on. 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 fi lter during
the cycle.
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have
it corrected by a qualifi ed electrician.
NOTE: Due to the design of electric dryers, it is possible
for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer to run
without heat.
Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better
drying performance and effi ciency.
If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra
items to ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is
very small and you are using AUTO DRY cycles, the
electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of
the load and may shut off too soon. Use TIMED DRY or
add some extra wet clothes to the load.
When the Energy Saver option is selected, the cycle
begins with an air dry section, and the drying time is
increased.
NOTE: The ENERGY SAVER option is turned on by
default in the Normal cycle. Turn off the ENERGY
SAVER option for a faster Normal cycle which begins
with heated drying.on by default in the Normal cycle.
Turn off the ENERGY SAVER option for a faster Normal
cycle which begins with heated drying.
