What to Do
• Try a fabric softener.
• Adjust controls for less drying.
• Try a fabric softener.
• Try a fabric softener.
• Separate heavy items from light weight items
(generally, a well-sorted washer load is a
well-sorted dryer load).
• Large, heavy loads contain more moisture
and take longer to dry. Separate large, heavy
items into smaller loads to speed drying time.
• Match control settings to the load you
are drying.
• Clean lint filter before every load.
• Check installation instructions for proper
ducting/venting.
• Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks
and unobstructed.
• Check to see if outside wall damper
operates easily.
• See the Venting the Dryer section.
• 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.
