• Load is not properly sorted.
Large load of heavy fabrics.

Partial blockage of the
ductwork due to lint buildup.
Ductwork is too long or has
too many turns/restrictions.
Significant blockage of the
ductwork due to lint buildup
or debris.
Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger
and heavier items take longer to dry.
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.
Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load.
With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it
may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.
Confirm that the exhaust ductwork is properly
configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions.
Make sure that outside wall dampers can open
properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.
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.
Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra
items to ensure proper tumbling action.
Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled
clothes. Try a shorter drying time, and remove items
while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.
Remove items from the dryer immediately at the
end of the cycle. Use the WRINKLE CARE option to
continue tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for
up to 3 hours.
To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric
care instructions for your garment, because some
fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other
fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried
in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting and/or the
RACK DRY option.
Pause the drying cycle and clean the lint filter.
Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the
Installation Instructions.
Ductwork should be checked/cleaned soon.
Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying
times may be longer.

Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the
Installation instructions.
Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately
to remove lint build up and other blockages. Dryer
can be used, but performance and efficiency will be
greatly reduced.
