Symptoms
Clothes have
damp spots after a
Sensor Dry
programme.
Clothes take too
long to dry.
Very large load or very small load. Single large item such
as a blanket or comforter.
• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may
have trouble reading the dryness level of the load. Use a
Timed Drying programme for very small loads.
• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can
sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The
outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the
inner core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item,
it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and rearrange
the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.
• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load
or a few damp spots on a large item after a Sensor Dry
programme has completed, empty the lint filter, then set a
Timed Drying programme to finish drying the item(s).
Load is not properly sorted.
• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and
heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with
heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry
faster.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
• 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.
Appliance controls are not set properly.
• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load
you are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of
the dry level setting for proper drying.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the
lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is
dirty or clogged. With some loads that produce high
amounts of lint, such as new bath towels, it may be
necessary to pause the cycle and clean the filter during the
cycle.
