dryer requires 5" (12.7 cm). See the Installation Instructions.
• Has an air dry modifier been selected?
Select the right temperature for the types of garments being
dried. See "Modifiers."
• Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Cycle time too short
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install dryer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• Is the automatic cycle ending early?
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the
dryer.
Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the
amount of drying time in a cycle.

Lint on load
• Is the lint screen clogged?
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.
Stains on load or drum
Was dryer fabric softener properly used?
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can
stain your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue
jeans). This will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled
Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?

blends, common knits and synthetic garments.

only garments are not recommended.

blends, common knits and synthetics.
