Possible Causes

Solution

TROUBLESHOOTING cont.

Cycle time too short

Automatic cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the

dryer.

Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level

setting on Automatic 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 Automatic Cycle

Default Settings.

Lint on load

Lint screen clogged.

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Stains on load or drum

Dryer fabric softener not properly

used.

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.

Loads are wrinkled

Load not removed from dryer at the

end of the cycle.

Select Wrinkle Shield feature to tumble the load without heat to

avoid wrinkling.

Dryer overloaded.

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely reduce wrinkles from

forming.

Odors

Have you recently been painting,

staining, or varnishing in the area

where your dryer is located?

If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone

from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

Is the electric dryer being used for

the rst time?

The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor

will be gone after the rst cycle.

Load is too hot

Were laundry items removed from

the dryer before the end of the

cycle?

Allow the Cool Down cycle to nish 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.

Was a high temperature cycle used,

or was a separate temperature

control set on high?

Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying 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.
