Troubleshooting
If you experience Possible Causes Solution
Dryer Results
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily or drying
times are too long (cont.)
The exhaust vent is not the
correct length.
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has
too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times.
See “Venting.”
The exhaust vent diameter is not the
correct size.
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
The dryer is not level. Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Automatic
cycles. Check the levelness of the dryer. All four casters should
be in firm contact with the floor.
The Air Dry temperature setting has
been selected.
Select the correct temperature for the types of garments being
dried. See “Cycles.”
The load is too large and heavy
to dry quickly.
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Fabric softener sheets are blocking
the lint screen cover.
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 5½” (140 mm). See “Location
Requirements.”
The load may not be contacting the
sensor strips on Sensor Cycles.
Check the levelness of the dryer. All four casters should be in
firm contact with the floor.
Cycle time is too short 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 “Cycles.”
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.
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.
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.
Odors Recent painting, staining, or
varnishing in the area where your
dryer is located.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the
area, rewash and dry the clothing.
Dryer being used for the first time. The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the first cycle
