Solution

corrected by a qualified electrician.

• Separate heavy items from lightweight
items. Larger and heavier items take
longer to dry. Light items in a load with
heavy items can fool the sensor
because the light items dry faster.
• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry
because they tend to retain more
moisture. To help reduce and maintain
more consistent drying times for large
and heavy fabrics, separate these
items into smaller loads of a consistent
size.
• Use the appropriate control settings
for the type of load you are drying.
Some loads may require an
adjustment of the dry level setting for
proper drying.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter
before every cycle. With the lint
removed, hold the lint filter up to a
light to see if it is dirty or clogged.
With some loads that produce high
amounts of lint, such as new bath
towels, it may be necessary to pause
the cycle and clean the filter during
the cycle.
