Kenmore 110.C9787 Series Use & Care Manual page 22

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the lint screen grille?
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Is the exhaust vent the correct length?
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many
turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the
Installation Instructions.
Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?
Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter vent material.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45ºF (7ºC)?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45ºF (7ºC).
Is the dryer located in a closet?
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and
bottom of the door. For most installations, the rear of the
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.

stain your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue
jeans). This will not transfer to other clothing.

Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?
Was the dryer overloaded?
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.
Odors
Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in
