Possible Causes
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.
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.
Recent painting, staining, or varnishing
in the area where your dryer is
located.
Load removed before cool down
portion of cycle complete.
Using Timed Dry cycle with a high
temperature setting.
The drying cycle has been interrupted
by a power failure.
There may be a problem with your
home power supply, keeping the
dryer's heater from turning on.
Cycle knob is not on a cycle.
The dryer is in need of service.
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.
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.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Select Wrinkle Shield™ option to tumble the load without heat
to avoid wrinkling.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Results may also vary
depending on fabric type.
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the
area, rewash and dry the clothing.
Allow the dryer to complete the cool down portion of the cycle
before removing the load.
Select a Sensing Cycle with a lower heat setting to avoid
overdrying the load.
Touch START/PAUSE to clear the PF error message; then press and
hold START/PAUSE to resume cycle.
The dryer will continue to run when this diagnostic code is present.
Touch any pad to clear the code from the display and return to
the estimated time remaining.
Try the following:
• Check to see if a household fuse has blown or circuit breaker
has tripped. Electric dryers use two household fuses or breakers.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• Confirm that the power cord is properly installed. Refer to
the Installation Instructions for details.
• Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer.
If the message persists, consult a qualified electrician.
This is not an error. The selector knob is not on a cycle. Rotate
your selector knob until a cycle lights up.
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.
