TROUBLESHOOTING
ENGLISH
Clothes take too
long to dry.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
• 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.
Appliance controls are not set properly.
• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you
are drying. Some loads may require an adjustment of the
dry level setting for proper drying.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the
lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is dirty
or clogged. With some loads that produce high amounts of
lint, such as new bath towels, it may be necessary to pause
the cycle and clean the filter during the cycle.
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
• 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.
Appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying
performance and efficiency.
Appliance is underloaded.
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to
ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and
you are using Sensor Dry programmes, the electronic
control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and
may shut off too soon. Use Timed Drying programmes or
add some extra wet clothes to the load.
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 type of
heat used (electric), the size of the load, the type of fabrics,
the wetness of the clothes, and lint filter. Even an
unbalanced load in the appliance can cause poor spinning,
resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
