If you experience Possible Causes Solution

Dryer Results (cont.)

Clothes are not drying

satisfactorily, clothes are

balling or tangling, or

drying times are too long

(cont.)

The load is too large and heavy to

dry quickly.

Separate the load to tumble freely.

The dryer is located in a room with

temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above

45ºF (7ºC).

The dryer is located in a closet. Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and

bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of

1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the

dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions.

Cycle time is too short The load may not be contacting the

sensor strips on Sensing Cycles.

Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet

should be in rm contact with the oor.

Clothes are coming out of the Steam

Refresh cycle with damp or wet spots.

If you are doing a Steam Refresh cycle of 1 or 2 items you can

add a towel to the load to help avoid uneven spraying from the

steam valve. Then select the appropriate time based on the load

to be refreshed.

The sensing cycle is ending early. Change the dryness level setting on Sensing 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 Sensing Cycle settings to increase or decrease

drying time.”

Lint on load Lint screen is clogged with lint. Clean lint screen before each load.

Stains on load Improper use of fabric softener. Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.

Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain

your garments. Do not use fabric softener sheets with steam

cycles.

Stains on drum Loose dyes in clothes. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).

These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled The load was not removed from dryer

at the end of the cycle.

Select Steam Refresh cycle to tumble the load with water and

heat. This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing

odors from dry loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-

polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics.

NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only

garments are not recommended.

The dryer was tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Results may also vary

depending on fabric type.

For steam cycles, the water is not

properly connected with the dryer.

Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water inlet

hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water inlet valve.

Check that the water supply is turned on.

Odors Recent painting, staining, or varnishing

in the area where your dryer is

located.

Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the

area, rewash and dry the clothing.

For steam cycles, the water is not

properly connected with the dryer.

Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water

inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer’s water inlet

valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.

Odors are left in garments after

wearing.

To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select Steam

Refresh. This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from

dry loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester

blends, common knits, and synthetics.

Steam did not occur

during Wrinkle Guard™

Wrinkle Guard™ does not

enable Steam on all cycle/option

combinations.

Refer to Cycle Guide to verify which cycles and settings enable

Steam.

First try the solutions suggested here for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call.
