Check Your Vent System For Good Air Flow
Good Air Flow
Along with heat, dryers require good air flow 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 air flow.
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.
Maintain good air flow by:
nCleaning your lint screen before each load.
nReplace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
nUse the shortest length of vent possible.
nUse no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces air flow.
Good |
Better |
nRemove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
nRemove 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 final product check.
nClear away items from the front the dryer.

If you select Adjust Settings, manually choose and adjust each setting individually using the buttons across the bottom of the screen. If an option is not available, it will be grayed out and cannot be selected. To change settings from the cycle defaults, touch Adjust Settings.
If you select Timed Dry, you can set a specific amount of drying time and drying temperature. When a Timed Cycle is selected, the Estimated Time Remaining display shows the actual time remaining in your cycle.
Use Automatic cycles for Better Fabric Care and Energy Savings
Use the Automatic Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Cycles, drying air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and could result in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to over-drying with certain fabrics. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time, when using the drying rack, or for items that require drying without heat such as rubber, plastic, and heat-sensitive fabrics.
