Load is not properly sorted.
• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items
take longer to dry. Light items in a load with heavy items can fool the
sensor because the light items dry faster.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
• 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.
Appliance controls are not set properly.
• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.
Some loads may require an adjustment of the dry level setting for proper
drying.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the lint removed,
hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. With some
loads that produce high amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may
be necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during the cycle.
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 laundry that is 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.
Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being placed in the
appliance.
• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not removed during the
washing process. Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned
or rinsed according to the instructions for your washing machine and
detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.
Clothes have dried too long (overdried).
• Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter
drying time.
Clothes have been left in the appliance for too long after cycle ends.
• Use the Anti crease option.
