7.Problem:It takes too
long
for my clothes to
dry
Question
What to Do
?
Did you
properly sort
your loads of
laundry?
?
Are you
drying large
loads of
heavy
fabrics?
?
Are the
dryer
controls
properly
set?
?
Is the lint filter clean before each
new
load of
laundry?
?
Are the exhaust ducts clear and
properly configured?
?
Is the fuse
blown,
or
is the circuit
breaker
tripped?
?
Did you overload your
dryer?
?
Did you under load your
dryer?
Separate heavy weight
items from
light weight
items when
creating
loads.
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.
Please confirm that the lint filter is clean prior
to
each
new
load of laundry.
Confirm
through
review of the
appropriate
sections of this manual that the exhaust
venting ductwork is properly configured.
Confirm
that the venting is free of
obstructions. Confirm that the outside wall
dampers
are
moving freely,
that the
dampers
are
not pushed in,
and that
nothing
has been
set against
the
dampers.
Check your home's
or
laundry
room's fuse box/circuit breaker box and
replace
the
fuse
or
reset
the circuit breaker.
(IMPORTANT:
electric
dryers generally
use
two
fuses
or
breakers.)
Divide your
larger
load into
a
number of smaller loads.
If you
are
only drying
a
handful of items, add
a
few
extra pieces to help
ensure
proper
tumbling action.
8.Problem:My
clothes
are
wrinkled
Question What
to
Do
?
Are you
over
drying
your
laundry?
?
Are you
removing
your
laundry
from the
dryer
soon
after the
drying cycle
is
complete?
Over
drying
a
load of
laundry
can
lead
to
wrinkled clothes.
Try
a
shorter
drying
time, and
remove
items while they still retain
a
slight
amount
of moisture.
Remove your
laundry
from the
dryer
after the
drying cycle
ends and either
hang
or
fold the items.
9.Problem:My
clothes
are
shrinking
Question
What to Do
?
Are you
following
the
care
instructions for your
garment?
?
PLM
problem
To avoid
shrinkage, please carefully
follow the
care
and
use
instructions for your
garment,
because
some
fabrics will
naturally
shrink when washed.
Other
fabrics
can
be washed but will shrink when dried in
a
dryer.
