Possible Causes
Dryer have a period of non-use.
A coin, button, or paper clip is
caught between the drum and
front or rear of the dryer.
It is a gas dryer.
The four legs are not installed,
or the dryer is not level front
to back and side to side.
Clothing knotted or balled up.
Household fuse is blown or
circuit breaker has tripped.
Supply line valve not open.
Incorrect power supply.
Auto Ciclo (Auto Cycle)
ending early.
Lint screen clogged.
Dryer fabric softener
not properly used.
Load not removed from dryer
at the end of the cycle.
Dryer overloaded.
Recent painting, staining, or
varnishing in the area where
your dryer is located.
Electric dryer being used
for the first time.
Laundry items were removed
from the dryer before the end
of the cycle.
An Alto (High) temperature
cycle was used, or a separate
temperature control was set on
Alto (High).
If the dryer hasn't been used for awhile, there may be a thumping sound
during the first few minutes of operation.
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out
pockets before laundering.
The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.
The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the Installation
Instructions.
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate.
Separate the load items and restart the dryer.
The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric dryers
use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace both fuses or reset
the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line.
Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified
electrician.
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.
Use Ciclos Manuales (Timed Cycles) for very small loads. Change
the settings on Auto Ciclos (Auto 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 "Changing the Auto Ciclo (Auto
Cycle) Settings to Increase Drying Time".
Lint screen should be cleaned 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.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). These
will not transfer to other clothing.
Select Protección anti arrugas (Wrinkle Prevent) feature to tumble the
load without heat to avoid wrinkling.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the
area, rewash and dry the clothing.
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be
gone after the first cycle.
Allow the Enfriamiento (Cool Down) segment to finish before removing
laundry from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling
and make it easier to handle. Items removed before Enfriamiento (Cool
Down) may feel very warm.
Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle. These
cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the load and shut
off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This reduces overdrying.
