What To Do
• A dry cycle must be reselected each time a new load
is put in.
• When drying 3 items or less, choose SPEED DRY or
TIMED DRY.
• Choose SPEED DRY or TIMED DRY to dry damp collars
and waistbands. In the future, when drying a load with
collars and waistbands, choose MORE DRY.
• Move dryer to an even floor space or adjust leveling legs
as necessary until even.
• When combining heavy and light fabrics in a load,
choose MORE DRY.
• Inspect and clean exhaust system.
• This is normal.
• This is normal. During extended tumbling, the time
remaining is not displayed. The extended tumbling
option lasts approximately 20 minutes.
What To Do
• Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the
dryer venting is correct.
• Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and
unobstructed.
• Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily.
• Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally,
a well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
• Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take
longer to dry. Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller
loads to speed drying time.
• Match control settings to the load you are drying.
• Clean lint filter before every load.
• Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most
dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are
operating.
• Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at
a time.
• If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items
to ensure proper tumbling.
