CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIR FLOW

Maintain good air ow by:

Cleaning your lint screen before each load.

Replacing plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

Using the shortest length of vent possible.

Using no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces air ow.

Good Better

Good Air Flow

Along with heat, dryers require good air ow to eciently 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 air ow.

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.

Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

Removing 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” supplied with your dryer for nal product check.

Clearing away items from the front the dryer.

USE AUTO MOISTURE SENSING™/AUTO DRY CYCLES FOR

BETTER FABRIC CARE AND ENERGY SAVINGS

Use the Auto Moisture Sensing™/Auto Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Auto Moisture Sensing™/Auto Dry cycles, drying air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing

occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts o when the load reaches the selected dryness. Choose Normal cycle to

save energy.

With Time Cycle, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying. Use Time Cycle for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack.

DRYER CARE

Cleaning the dryer location

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the air ow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing

piles of laundry in front of the dryer.

Cleaning the dryer interior

To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a liquid, nonammable household cleaner to the

stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until

stain is removed.

2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer

interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will

not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside out to avoid drum staining.

Removing accumulated lint

Cleaning the lint screen

Every load cleaning

The lint screen is located in the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

1. Pull the lint screen out of its holder. Roll lint o

the screen with your ngers. Do not rinse or wash

screen to remove lint.

2. Push the lint screen rmly back into place.

IMPORTANT:

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.

If lint falls o the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting Requirements.”

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

o 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 o the screen with your ngers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.

3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.

Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.

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 qualied servicer.

From the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.

4. Rinse screen with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall

screen in dryer.

Vacation, storage, and moving care

Changing the drum light (on some models)

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience

Clothes are not drying

satisfactorily, drying times are too long.

Possible Causes

Lint screen clogged with lint.

The Air Only cycle has been selected.

Load too large and heavy to dry quickly.

Exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint, restricting

air movement.

Fabric softener sheets blocking the grill.

Exhaust vent not the correct length.

Exhaust vent diameter not the correct size.

Dryer located in a room with temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).

Dryer located in a closet without adequate openings.

Solution

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried.

See “Cycle Guide.”

Separate the load to tumble freely.

Run the dryer for 5–10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel

air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust

vent with heavy metal or exible metal vent. Make sure vent is not crushed or kinked. See “Installation Instructions.”

Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long venting will increase drying times. Make sure vent is not crushed or kinked. See “Installation Instructions.”

Use 4" (102mm) diameter vent material.

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45ºF (7ºC).

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1" (25mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5" (127mm). See “Installation Instructions.”

breaker has tripped.

Supply line valve not open. For gas dryers, be sure the valve on the supply line is open.

Press and hold the PUSH to START/START button until you hear the dryer drum moving.

Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Replace both fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualied electrician.

Use a time-delay fuse.

If the dryer hasn’t been used for awhile, there may be a thumping sound during the rst few minutes of operation.

Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets before laundering.

The gas valve clicking is a normal operating sound.

The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See “Installation Instructions.”

When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer

to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.

The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace both fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call

an electrician.

Incorrect power supply.

Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualied electrician.

TROUBLESHOOTING cont.

If you experience

Cycle time too short

Lint on load

Stains on load or drum

Loads are wrinkled

Odors

Load is too hot

Possible Causes

Automatic cycle ending early.

Lint screen clogged.

Dryer fabric softener not properly used.

The load was not removed from dryer

at the end of the cycle.

Dryer tightly packed.

You have recently been painting, staining, or varnishing in the area

where your dryer is located.

The electric dryer is being used for

the rst time. Laundry items werer removed from

the dryer before the end of the cycle.

A high temperature cycle was used or the Dry Temp was set on high.

Solution

The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer. Use Time Dry for very small loads. Change the dry level

setting on Auto Moisture Sensing™/Auto Dry cycles.

Increasing or decreasing the dry level setting will change the

amount of drying time in a cycle.

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

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.

Select Wrinkle Guard™ option to tumble the load without heat to avoid wrinkling.

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely reduce wrinkles from

forming.

If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the rst cycle.

Allow Cool Down 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.

Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle.

These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the

load and shut o when the load reaches the selected dryness.

This reduces overdrying.
