Possible Causes
Recent painting, staining, or
varnishing in the area where
your dryer is located.
For steam cycles, the water is not
properly connected with the dryer.
Odors are left in garments after
wearing.
Load removed before cooldown
portion of cycle complete.
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 or kinked or has
too many turns.
The dryer is in need of service.
Solution
Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the
area, rewash and dry the clothing.
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer's water inlet
valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.
To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select Custom
Refresh. This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from
dry loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester
blends, common knits, and synthetics.
Allow the dryer to complete the cooldown portion of the cycle
before removing the load.
Select a Sensor cycle with a lower heat setting to avoid overdrying
the load.

Lock function may be enabled when recovering from a power
