Troubleshooting
Checkpoints
Symptom | Action |
Does not run. | • Make sure the door is latched shut. • Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet. • Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses. • Press START/PAUSE again if the door was opened during a cycle. • Clean the lint filter. • If you are using the Delicate Dryer but it does not operate properly, you can turn the Tumble Dryer on and see if an information code appears. |
Does not heat. | • Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses. • Some cycles do not require heat. Check the selected cycle again. • For a gas dryer, make sure the gas supply is on. • Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct. • The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle. |
Does not dry. | • Check all of the above, plus... • Make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely. • Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually. • Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct. • Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load. • Dry heavy items and light weight items separately. • Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may require repositioning to ensure even drying. • The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels and restart the dryer. • The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some items and restart the dryer. • Clean the lint filter. |
Is noisy. | • Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly. • It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle. • Make sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instructions. • It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system. |
Dries unevenly. | • Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose a higher dryness level or a cycle that involves a higher dryness level. • If one heavy item is dried with a light weight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. • For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light weight items separately. |
Has odors. | • Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the drum, and exhausts it outside. • When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the room before using the dryer. |
Lint on clothes. | • Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. For clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the filter during the cycle. • Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they must be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants). • Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. • Check pockets thoroughly before drying, then dry clothes. • Remove lint inside the drum before drying a load. |
Items still wrinkled after Wrinkle Prevent (Wrinkle Away, Wrinkle Release). | • Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best. • Load fewer items. Load similar-type items. • Take out the items immediately after drying is complete. |
Water drips from the nozzle when the Steam cycles starts. | • This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time. |
Sprayed water is not visible during Steam cycles. | • Sprayed water is difficult to see when the door is closed. |
Extended time. | • Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level is reached. The drying time can change according to the type and amount of laundry. See the cycle chart for reference. |
