Possible Causes
Solution
TROUBLESHOOTING (cont.)
Cycle time too short
Automatic cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the
dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level
setting on Automatic Cycles. Increasing or decreasing the
dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a cycle.
If loads are consistently ending too early, see also “Changing
the Automatic Cycle Default Settings.”
Lint on load
Lint screen clogged.
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Stains on load or drum
Dryer fabric softener not properly
used.
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain
your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled
Load not removed from dryer at the
end of the cycle.
Select Wrinkle Shield option to tumble the load without heat to
avoid wrinkling.
Dryer overloaded.
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely reduce formation of
wrinkles.
Odors
You have recently been painting,
staining, or varnishing in the area
where your dryer is located.
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone
from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.
The electric dryer is being used for
the rst time.
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the rst cycle.
Load is too hot
Laundry items were removed from
the dryer before the end of the
cycle.
Allow the Cool Down step to nish before removing laundry
from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling
and make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down
may feel very warm.
A high temperature cycle was used,
or a separate temperature control
was set on high.
Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle.
These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the
load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness.
This reduces overdrying.
