Problem

Possible Causes

Solutions

Drying time is not

consistent

• Heat settings, load size, or dampness of

clothing is not consistent.

• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type

of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of

fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust ducts and

lint filter.

Clothes take too

long to dry

• Load is not properly sorted.

• Large load of heavy fabrics.

• Dryer controls are not set properly.

• Lint filter needs to be cleaned.

• Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or duct run is

too long.

• House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has

tripped, or power outage has occurred.

• Dryer is overloaded.

• Dryer is underloaded.

• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take

longer to dry.

• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture.

To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy

fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.

• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.

• Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that

produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the

cycle.

• Confirm that the exhaust ductwork is properly configured and free of debris,

lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly

and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the

problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.

• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper

tumbling action.

Clothes are wrinkled

• Clothes dried too long (overdried).

• Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle

ends.

• Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying

time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.

• Remove items from the dryer immediately at the end of the cycle. Use the

WRINKLE CARE option to continue tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for

up to 3 hours.

Clothes are shrinking

• Garment care instructions are not being

followed.

• To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care instructions for

your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other

fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no

heat setting.

indicator light is

on during the drying

cycle

• Water supply error.

• Check steam feeder drawer:

(1) Make sure steam feeder is filled with water to MAX line.

(2) Make sure steam feeder is seated properly and drawer is fully closed.

(3) Turn the dryer off then restart the Steam cycle.

• Do not use distilled water; the water level sensor in steam generator will not

work.

• Pump not working. Unplug dryer and call for service.

Water drips from

nozzle when Steam

Cycle starts

• This is normal.

• This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.
