Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsCustomer Service Troubleshooting Tips 12 Problem Possible Causes What To Do Clothes take too long to dry Improper sorting • Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load). Large loads of heavy fabrics (like beach towels) • Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to dry. Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed drying time. Controls improperly set • Match control settings to the load you are drying. Lint filter is full • Clean lint filter before every load. Improper or obstructed ducting • 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. • Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer venting is correct. Blown fuses or tripped circuit breaker • Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating. Overloading/combining loads • Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time. Underloading • If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items to ensure proper tumbling. Clothes are wrinkled Overdrying • Select a shorter drying time. • Remove items while they still hold a slight amount of moisture. Letting items sit in dryer after cycle ends •Remove items when cycle ends and fold or hang immediately. Clothes shrink Some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Others can be safely washed, but will shrink in the dryer • To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care labels exactly. • Some items may be pressed back into shape after drying. • If you are concerned about shrinkage in a particular item, do not machine wash or tumble dry it.
