After clearing the restrictions, the Flow SenseTM (W) system requires multiple, consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow SenseTM (W) indicator is reset. • If the Flow SenseTM (W) indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service. Clothes take too long to dry. Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long. • Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that the outside wall damper can open properly and is not blocked, jammed, or clogged. Load is not properly sorted • Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry. Light items in a load with heavy items can fool the sensor because the light items dry faster. Large and heavy fabrics are loaded. • 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. Dryer 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 filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the 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. The appliance is overloaded. • Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency. Energy Saver option is selected. (on some models) • If using the Normal cycle, deselect the Energy Saver option that is selected by default. This option reduces enery use by adding an air dry section to the beginning of the cycle. It is normal to feel no heat at the beginning of the cycle while in Energy Saver mode. The appliance will not turn on. Power cord is not properly plugged in. • Make sure that the plug is securely plugged into a grounded outlet matching the appliance's rating plate. 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.
