54 TROUBLESHOOTING
A: Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers. A lint filter which is full of lint or
clogged with fabric softener sheet residue can reduce the airflow to the point that the time required
to dry clothing will be greatly increased.
Q: Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes?
A: This is how the Fresh Care feature works. The dryer runs briefly every few minutes for up to 2 hours
after the cycle finishes. This feature is designed to help prevent wrinkles from setting in when the
dryer is not unloaded immediately after the cycle is finished.
Q: How can I improve drying performance?
A: For best results, use a dedicated cycle suitable for the load. For example, use the Towels cycle for
towels and the Jeans cycle for jeans. If you select a dedicated cycle and set the dry option, you will get
better results. If you want to dry it more, choose the time-drying of the Dry Only cycle.

Water supply pressure to faucet or house is too low.
• Check another faucet in the house to make sure that household water pressure is
adequate and flow is not restricted.
• Disconnect the water inlet hoses from the washer and run a few gallons of water through
the hoses to flush out any dirt.
• If flow is too low, contact a plumber to have the water supply lines repaired.
Water supply connected with leak-limiting hoses.
• The use of hoses designed to limit leaks is not recommended. Leak limiting hoses can trip
falsely and prevent the washer from filling.
Drain hose is kinked, pinched, or clogged.
• Make sure that the drain hose is free of clogs or kinks and is not pinched behind or under
the washer.
The end of the drain hose is more than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the bottom of the
washer.
• Move the end of the drain hose so that it is lower than 96 inches (2.4 m). For best
performance, the end of the drain hose should be no higher than 66 inches (168 cm).
The load is too small.
• Add additional items to allow the washer to balance the load.
