Possible Causes
"PF" (power failure),
Start LED flashes
"F# E#" (F1 E1, F3 E1, etc.) variable
service codes.
Automatic cycle ending early.
Lint screen clogged.
Dryer fabric softener not properly
used.
Load not removed from dryer at the
end of the cycle.
Dryer is tightly packed.
You have recently been painting,
staining, or varnishing in the area
where your dryer is located.
The electric dryer is being used for
the first time.
Laundry items removed from the
dryer before the end of the cycle.
A high temperature cycle was used,
or a separate temperature control
was set on high.
Was the drying cycle interrupted by a power failure?
Press START/PAUSE to restart the dryer.
If a code beginning with an "F" appears in the display.
Alternating between F# and E#, the dryer control has detected
a problem that requires service. Call for service.
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the
dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level
setting on Automatic 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 Automatic Dry Default Settings."
Lint screen should be cleaned 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.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Select Touch Up Cycle to tumble the load with water and heat.
This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing
odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton
polyester blends, common knits, and synthetic garments.
NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean only
garments are not recommended.
Dry loosely packed loads that can tumble freely.
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone
from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the first cycle.
Allow the Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry
from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling
and make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down
may feel very warm.
Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle.
These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the
load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness.
This reduces overdrying.
