TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
7.R-oblem:lt takes too long for my dothesto dry
Question What to Do
• Dill you properly sort your loads of
laundry?
Separate heavy weight items front light weight items when creating loads.
• Are you drying large loads of heavy
fabrics?
Heavy fabrics lake 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.
• Are the dryer controls properly set?
Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you ate drying.
• Is the lint filter clean before each
new load of laundry?
Please confirm that the lint filler is clean prior to each new load of laundry.
• Are the exhaust ducts clear and
properly configured?
Confirm through review of the appropriate sections of this manual that the exhaust
venting ductwork is properly configured. Confirm that the venting is free of
obstructions. Confirm that the outside wall dampers are moving freely, that the
dampers are not pushed in. and that nothing has been set against the dampers.
• Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit
breaker tripped?
Check your home's or laundry room's fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the
fuse or reset the circuit breaker. (IMPORT ANT': electric dryers generally use two
fuses or breakers.)
• Did you overload your dryer?
Divide your larger load into a number of smaller loads.
• Did you under load your dryer?
If you are only drying a handful of items, add a few extra pieces to help ensure
proper tumbling action.
8.Rx)blem:My dothesare wrinkled
Question What to Do
• Are you over drying your laundry ?
Over drying 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.
• Are you removing your laundry
from the dryer soon after the
drying cycle is complete?
Remove your laundry from the dryer after the drying cycle ends and either hang or
fold the items.
9.F¥oblem:My dothesare shrinking
Question What to Do
• Are you following the care
instructions for your garment?
To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the care and use 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.
