DRYER MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Cleaning the Dryer Location
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had anything
flammable on it (even after washing).
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 mm) above the floor
for a garage installation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the
airflow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of
laundry in front of the dryer.
Cleaning the Dryer Interior
To clean dryer drum:
1. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low concentration
with nonflammable cleaner or very warm water, and rub with a
soft cloth.
n Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
n Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum.
2. Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle to clean
the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue
jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the rear of the
dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will
not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out
to avoid transfer of dye.
Removing Accumulated Lint
From inside the dryer cabinet:
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified appliance
service or ventilation system cleaner.
From the exhaust vent:
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage.
To clean:
1. Remove the lint screen. If necessary, press the tab to release
and open the lint screen. Roll lint off the screen with your
fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is
hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
n Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
n If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting
Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
n Clean space where lint screen is located, as needed. Using a
vacuum, gently remove any lint that has accumulated outside
of the lint screen.
As-needed cleaning:
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the
lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your
clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely
dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen
is in the dryer. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6
months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
Cleaning the Lint Screen
Every load cleaning:
The lint screen may be located either in the door opening or the
top of the dryer depending on model. A screen blocked by lint can
increase drying time.
5
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub
lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall screen
in dryer.
Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or
fire.
Good Airflow
Along with heat, dryers require good airflow to efficiently dry
laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve
your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good
airflow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper venting
installation will reduce air flow and dryer performance.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the
warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who
installed the dryer. To clean or repair venting, contact a venting
specialist.
Changing the Drum Light (on some models)
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the back
wall of the dryer. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver or 1/4"
(6.35 mm) nut driver or socket wrench, remove the screw
located in the lower right-hand corner of the cover. Remove
the cover.
3. Turn bulb counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with a 10 W
appliance bulb only. Replace the cover and secure with the
screw.
4. Plug in dryer or reconnect power.
Accessories and replacement parts are available for your model.
For ordering and contact information, please reference your Quick
Start Guide.
Maintain Good Airflow
n Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter
heavy, rigid vent material.
n Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend
and curve reduces airflow.
n Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least
every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow
the Installation Instructions for final product check.
n Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
