TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
If you experience
Dryer Results (cont.)
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily, clothes are
balling or tangling, or
drying times are too long
(cont.)
Cycle time is too short
Lint on load
Stains on load
Stains on drum
Loads are wrinkled
Odors
Steam did not occur
during Wrinkle Prevent
to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
Possible Causes
The load is too large and heavy to dry
quickly.
The dryer is located in a room with
temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).
The dryer is located in a closet.
The load may not be contacting the
sensor strips on Sensor cycles.
Clothes are coming out of the Steam
Refresh cycle with damp or wet
spots.
The Sensor cycle is ending early.
Lint screen is clogged with lint.
Improper use of fabric softener.
Loose dyes in clothes.
The load was not removed from dryer
at the end of the cycle.
The dryer was tightly packed.
For Steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Recent painting, staining, or
varnishing in the area where your
dryer is located.
For Steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Odors are left in garments after
wearing.
Wrinkle Prevent does not enable
Steam on all cycle/option
combinations.
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45ºF (7ºC).
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.
Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All 4 dryer feet
should be in firm contact with the floor.
If you are doing a Steam Refresh cycle of 1 or 2 items, you can
add a towel to the load to help avoid uneven spraying from the
steam valve. Then select the appropriate time based on the load
to be refreshed.
Change the dryness level setting on Sensor 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 Sensor cycle settings to increase
or decrease drying time."
Clean lint screen before each load.
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain
your garments. Do not use fabric softener sheets with Steam
cycles.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Select Steam Refresh cycle (on some models) to tumble the
load with water and heat. This cycle is best for smoothing out
wrinkles and reducing odors from dry loads consisting of 1
to 9 dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend,
common knits, and synthetic garments.
NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only
garments are not recommended.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Results may also vary
depending on fabric type. This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles
and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-
polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics.
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer's water inlet
valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the
area, rewash and dry the clothing.
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer's water inlet
valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.
To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select Steam
Refresh (on some models). This cycle is best for reducing
wrinkles and odors from dry loads consisting of wrinkle-free
cotton, cotton-polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics.
Refer to "Cycle Guide" to verify which cycles and settings enable
Steam.
