■■ 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.
Lint on load
■■ Is the lint screen clogged?
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Stains on load or drum
■■ Was the 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). This will not transfer to other clothing.
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.
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.
■■ Is the electric dryer being used for the first time?
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle.
Load is too hot
■■ Were laundry items removed from the dryer before the end of the cycle?
Allow the Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling and make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may feel very warm.
■■ Was a high temperature cycle used, or was a separate temperature control set on high?
Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle. These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This reduces overdrying.
