Symptoms
Clothes have damp
spots after a Dry
programme.
Odors
Symptoms
The appliance has an
unpleasant odor.
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 Dry programme has completed, empty the lint
filter, then set a Timed Drying programme to finish drying the item(s).
Are you using the appliance for the first time?
• The odor is caused by the rubber material inside the appliance. The odor
normal when the appliance is new and disappears after you run several
cycles.
Do you smell an odor during use?
• Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent
when washing clothes. Excess detergent can build up on clothing and
cause odors.
• Leaving clothes in the washer or dryer after the cycle ends can lead to
odors. Unload clothing promptly when the cycle ends.
• For ventless models, leave the dryer door open after drying, or use the
magnetic door stop (on some models) to keep the door slightly ajar.
• If the odor is coming from the washer, follow the instructions in the
product manual to clean the washer tub/drum.
• Keep both lint filters clean. Clogged or dirty lint filters can cause odors.
After cleaning the lint filter, allow it to dry completely before using it.
• Periodically run the Drum Care and Condenser Care cycles following the
instructions in the MAINTENANCE section.
