for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
Possible Causes
Lint screen is clogged with lint.
The exhaust vent or outside
exhaust hood is clogged with lint,
restricting air movement.
The exhaust vent is not the correct
length.
The exhaust vent diameter is not
the correct size.
The load is too large and heavy
to dry quickly.
Fabric softener sheets are blocking
the grille.
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 Sensor Cycles.
The sensor cycle is ending early.
Lint screen is clogged with lint.
Solution
Clean lint screen before each load.
Run the dryer for 5–10 minutes. Hold your hand under
the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you
do not feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint
or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent.
See "Venting."
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has
too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times.
See "Venting."
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
Separate the load to tumble freely.
The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint screen.
Check that it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet.
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
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 5¼" (133 mm).
See "Location Requirements."
Level the dryer. See "Level Dryer." All four dryer feet should be
in firm contact with the floor.
Change the dryness level setting on Sensor 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 "Cycle Guide – Sensor Dry Cycles."
Clean lint screen before each load.
