TROUBLESHOOTING
Possible Causes
The load is too large and heavy to
dry quickly.
The dryer is located in a room with
temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).
The dryer is located in a closet.
The load may not be contacting the
sensor strips on Sensing Cycles.
Clothes are coming out of the Steam
Refresh cycle with damp or wet spots.
The sensing cycle is ending early.
Lint screen is clogged with lint.
Improper use of fabric softener.
Loose dyes in clothes.
The load was not removed from dryer
at the end of the cycle.
The dryer was tightly packed.
For steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Recent painting, staining, or varnishing
in the area where your dryer is
located.
For steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Odors are left in garments after
wearing.
Wrinkle Guard™ does not
enable Steam on all cycle/option
combinations.
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45ºF (7ºC).
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and
bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of
1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the
dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions.
Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet
should be in firm contact with the floor.
If you are doing a Steam Refresh cycle of 1 or 2 items you can
add a towel to the load to help avoid uneven spraying from the
steam valve. Then select the appropriate time based on the load
to be refreshed.
Change the dryness level setting on Sensing 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 also
"Changing the Sensing Cycle settings to increase or decrease
drying time."
Clean lint screen 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. Do not use fabric softener sheets with steam
cycles.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Select Steam Refresh cycle to tumble the load with water and
heat. This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing
odors from dry loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-
polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics.
NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only
garments are not recommended.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Results may also vary
depending on fabric type.
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.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the
area, rewash and dry the clothing.
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.
Refer to Cycle Guide to verify which cycles and settings enable
Steam.
