■Has the Air Dry temperature setting been selected?
Select the right temperature for the types of garments being dried. See “Additional Features.”
■Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?
Separate the load to tumble freely.
■Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint, restricting air movement?
Run the dryer for
■Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
■Are drying times too long or are clothes too dry?
AUTO DRY default settings may have been changed. See Changing the AUTO DRY Default Settings.
■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. See also Changing the AUTO DRY Default Settings, if you are unable to shorten the vent length.
■Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
■Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below 45ºF (7ºC)?
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. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions.
Cycle time too short
■Is the automatic cycle ending early?
The load may not be contacting the moisture 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. If loads are consistently ending too early, see also Changing the AUTO DRY Default Settings.
Lint on load
■Is the lint screen clogged?
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.
Stains on load or drum
■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.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled
■Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?
Remove garments promptly to prevent wrinkling.
■Was the dryer overloaded?
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.
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.
Changing the AUTO DRY Default Settings
IMPORTANT: Your dryness level settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions or personal preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your AUTO DRY cycles, not just the current cycle/load.
If all your loads on all AUTO DRY cycles are consistently not as dry as you would like, you may change the default settings to increase the default dryness level. This change will affect all of your AUTO DRY cycles.
There are 3 drying settings, which are displayed using the WET, DAMP, and COOL DOWN indicators:
1.(factory preset dryness level) - WET indicator lit.
2.(slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time) - WET and DAMP indicators lit.
3.(much drier clothes, 30% more drying time) - WET, DAMP, and COOL DOWN indicators lit.
To change the AUTO DRY default settings:
NOTE: The AUTO DRY default settings cannot be changed while the dryer is running.
1.Press and hold the TEMP button for at least 6 seconds. The dryer will beep, and the current drying mode will be displayed.
2.To select a new drying setting, press the TEMP button again until the desired drying setting is shown.
NOTE: While cycling through the settings, the current setting will be lit solid, but the other settings will flash.
3.Press the START/PAUSE button to save the drying setting and exit to standby mode.
NOTE: To exit without saving, press the POWER button.
4.The drying setting you selected will become your new preset drying setting for all AUTO DRY cycles.
