Solution

circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified
electrician.

• 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.
• 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. Some loads may require
an adjustment of the dry level setting for proper
drying.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter before 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.
