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.
