Possible Causes

What To Do

Clothes take too long

Improper sorting

• Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally,

to dry

 

a well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).

 

 

 

 

Large loads of heavy fabrics

• Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take

 

(like beach towels)

longer to dry. Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller

 

 

loads to speed drying time.

 

 

 

 

Controls improperly set

• Match control settings to the load you are drying.

 

 

 

 

Lint filter is full

• Clean lint filter before every load.

 

 

 

 

Improper or obstructed ducting

• Check installation instructions for proper

 

 

ducting/venting.

 

 

• Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and

 

 

unobstructed.

 

 

• Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily.

 

 

• Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the

 

 

dryer venting is correct.

 

 

 

 

Blown fuses or tripped

Overloading/combining loads

• Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer

 

 

at a time.

 

 

 

 

Underloading

• If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items

 

 

to ensure proper tumbling.

 

 

 

Clothes are wrinkled

Overdrying

• Remove items while they still hold a slight amount of

 

 

moisture. Select a LESS DRY or DAMP DRY setting.

• Remove items when cycle ends and fold or hang

 

cycle ends

Overloading

• Separate large loads into smaller ones.
