House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse
capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it
corrected by a qualified electrician.
Appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying
performance and efficiency.
Appliance is underloaded.
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to
ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and
you are using Sensor Dry programmes, the electronic
control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and
may shut off too soon. Use Timed Drying programmes or
add some extra wet clothes to the load.
Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not
consistent.
• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type
of heat used (electric), the size of the load, the type of
fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and lint filter. Even an
unbalanced load in the appliance can cause poor spinning,
resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
Fabric softener is used incorrectly.
• When washing clothes that are to be dried in the appliance,
use the correct amount of fabric softener as recommended
by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.
• Use the appliance to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty
clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later
loads.
