Clothes are not drying satisfactorily

Check the following:

Is the lint screen clogged with lint?

Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint, restricting air movement? Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See your Installation Instructions.

Is the exhaust vent crushed or kinked? Replace with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See your Installation Instructions.

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below 45ºF (7ºC)? Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45ºF (7ºC).

Was a cold rinse water used? Was the load very wet? Expect longer drying times with items rinsed in cold water and with items that hold moisture (cottons).

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? Separate the load to tumble freely.

Lint on load

Is the lint screen clogged? Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

Is the load properly sorted? Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.

Is the load too big or too heavy? Dry smaller loads so lint can be carried to the lint screen.

Was the load overdried? Use correct dryer settings for load type. Overdrying can cause lint-attracting static electricity. See “Dryer Cycle Descriptions” (separate sheet).

Was paper or tissue left in pockets?

Is pilling being mistaken for lint? Pilling (surface fuzz) is caused by normal wear and laundering.

Stains on load or color change

Was dryer fabric softener properly used? Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially-dried load can stain your garments.

Were items soiled when placed in the dryer? Items should be clean before being dried.

Were items properly sorted? Sort light colors from dark colors. Sort colorfast items from noncolorfast items.

Items shrinking

Was the dryer overloaded? Dry smaller loads that will tumble freely.

Did the load overdry? Check the manufacturer’s care label. Match dryer setting to load type.

Loads are wrinkled

Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?

Was the dryer overloaded? Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.

Did the load overdry? Check the manufacturer’s care label. Match dryer setting to load type.

Odors

Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located? If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

If the dryer is electric, is it being used for the first time? The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle.

Garment damage

Check the following:

Were zippers, snaps, and hooks left open?

Were strings and sashes tied to prevent tangling? Were care label instructions followed?

Were items damaged before drying?
