In U.S.A. http://www.managemylife.com - In Canada www.sears.ca
Possible Causes
Automatic cycle ending early.
Lint screen clogged.
Dryer fabric softener not properly
used.
Was the load not removed from dryer
at the end of the cycle?
Dryer overloaded.
Have you recently been painting,
staining, or varnishing in the area
where your dryer is located?
Is the electric dryer being used for
the first time?
Were laundry items removed from
the dryer before the end of the
cycle?
Was a high temperature cycle used,
or was a temperature control set on
high?
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.
Use Time Dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level
setting on Auto Dry Cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount
of drying time in a cycle. If loads are consistently ending too
early, see also Changing the Auto Dry Cycle Default Settings.
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
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).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Select Wrinkle Guard™ feature to tumble the load without heat
to avoid wrinkling.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely to reduce wrinkles from
forming.
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from
the area, rewash and dry the clothing.
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the first cycle.
Allow the Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry
from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling and
make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may
feel very warm.
Select a lower temperature, and use an Auto Dry cycle. These
cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the load
and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This
reduces overdrying.
