TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Then...
Check for condensation on the inside of the door during
steam portion of the cycle. Steam is not directly visible. This
is normal.
Check steam feeder drawer:
(1) Make sure steam feeder is filled with water to the MAX
line.
(2) Make sure steam feeder is seated properly and drawer
is fully closed.
(3) Cycle the dryer off/on, then restart the Steam cycle.
DO NOT USE DISTILLED WATER - The water level sen-
sors in the steam generator will not work.
Steam feeder pump not working - call for service.
Load only 1 to 5 garments (except single bulky item).
Do not mix fabric types.
STEAM REFRESH is most effective on 70/30 cotton/poly blends.
Do not use on 100% cotton items.
This cycle is designed to remove wrinkles. If creases are desired
after STEAM REFRESH, the garments will need to be ironed.
Steam is invisible. However, under some conditions, the condensed
fog may be seen, or condensation will form on the inside of the door
glass.
The drum is turned off so that the steam vapor remains in the drum.
The drum will turn for only a few seconds once a minute.
Steam is released at different stages of the cycle for each option.
Steam cannot be seen, but condensation may form on the inside of
the door when steam is being generated.
Some odors are difficult to remove. Fabrics containing certain difficult
odors or very strong odors may not refresh well and should be
washed or dry cleaned instead.
