Possible Causes
Load removed before cool down

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.
The lint screen or vent is clogged;
the vent is crushed, kinked or has
too many turns.
The dryer is in need of service.
Allow the dryer to complete the cool down portion of the cycle
before removing the load.

the load.
Touch the POWER key to clear the PF error and turn the dryer off.
