Possible Causes
For steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Odors are left in garments after
wearing.
Load removed before cooldown
portion of cycle complete.
Using Timed Dry cycle with a high
temperature setting.
This is a reminder to clean the lint
screen before each load.
Controls are locked.
The drying cycle has been interrupted
by a power failure.
There may be a problem with your
home power supply, keeping the
dryer's heater from turning on.
The lint screen or vent is clogged;
the vent is crushed, kinked, or has
too many turns.
The dryer is in need of service.
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. This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from
dry loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester
blends, common knits, and synthetics.
Allow the dryer to complete the cooldown portion of the cycle
before removing the load.
Select an Automatic Cycle with a lower heat setting to avoid
overdrying the load.
This is normal. Clean the lint screen before each load.
See "Cleaning the Lint Screen" in the Dryer Care section.
