install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the
Installation Instructions for details.
Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately.
Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying times
will be longer and energy consumption will increase.
Check the outside dryer vent while the dryer is
operating to make sure there is strong airflow.
If the exhaust system is extremely tong, have it
repaired or rerouted. Keep the area around the
dryer clean and free of clutter. Check vent hood
for damage or tint clogging. Make sure the area
around the vent hood is clear.
Make sure that the plug is securely plugged into a
grounded outlet matching the dryer's rating plate.
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.
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.
NOTE: Due to the design of electric dryers, it is
possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer
to run without heat.
Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas
shutoff valves are both fully open. Even if gas is not
supplied to the dryer, it will run and no error codes
will display. Verify that other gas appliances in the
home are working normally.
Only use your dryer to dry clean items. Soil from dirty
ctothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or
later loads.
Stains on dried clothes could be stains that weren't
removed during the washing process. Make sure
that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed
according to the instructions for your washer and
detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-
treating prior to washing.
Use a fabric softener or the STATIC SHIELD
option, if equipped, to reduce static electricity. Be
sure to follow the fabric softener manufacturer's
instructions.
Overdrying a toad of laundry can cause a buildup
of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter
drying time, or use AUTO DRY cycles. Setect a LESS
DRY setting on AUTO DRY cycles, if necessary.
These fabrics are naturally more prone to static
buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use LESS DRY
and/or shorter TIMED DRY time settings.
Thedrying time for a toad will vary depending on the type
of heat used(electric,natural gas,or LPgas),the sizeof the
load, thetype of fabrics,the wetnessof theclothes,and
the condition of theexhaustduct and lint filter. Evenan
unbalanced load inthe washer can causepoor spinning,
resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
