BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE (cont.)

Clothes are wrinkled

Check if...

Clothes dried too long (overdried).

Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.

Then...

Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or LESS DRY setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.

Use the WRINKLE GUARD option. This feature will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes for up to 150minutes to help prevent wrinkling.

Clothes are shrinking

Check if...

Garment care instructions are not being followed.

Display shows error code tEl or tE2

Check if...

I Temperature sensing failure.

Display shows error code PS (electric dryers

Check if...

Power cord is connected incorrectly.

Then...

To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care instructions for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no

heat setting and/or the RACK DRY if available.

Then...

Turn off the dryer and call for service.	I

White (N) and hot (L2 - red) wires on power cord. Check
power cord connections for neutral connection on the
center terminal. 240 volts applied to the control, so it will
protect itself.

Lint on clothes

Check if...

Lint filter not cleaned properly.

Laundry not sorted properly.

Excess static in clothes.

Dryer is overloaded.

Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.

Then...

Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions on page 28. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.

Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).

•Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.

•Over-drying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use AUTO DRY cycles.

Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.

Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
