Clothes are not drying satisfactorily or drying times are too long

■■ Is the lint screen clogged with lint?

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use a plastic vent. Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or ￿re.

■■ 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 the Installation Instructions.

■■ Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?

Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

■■ Is the exhaust vent the correct length?

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the Installation Instructions.

■■ Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?

Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45ºF (7ºC).

■■ Is the dryer located in a closet?

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. Sides and front of dryer require a minimum of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and the rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions.

■■ Has an air dry cycle been selected?

Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried.

■■ Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?

Separate the load to tumble freely.

Cycle time too short

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install dryer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

■■ Is the automatic cycle ending early?

The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.

Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles. Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a cycle.
