TROUBLESHOOTING - DRYER cont. First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) to possibly avoid the cost of a service call...In U.S.A. http://www.whirlpool.com/help - In Canada www.whirlpool.ca If you experience Possible Causes Dryer not performing as expected (cont.) No heat Household fuse is blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Supply line valve not open. Solution 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. For gas dryers, the valve is not open on the supply line. Incorrect power supply. Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualified electrician. Cycle time too short Automatic cycle ending early. Lint on load Lint screen clogged. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer. Use Timed Drying for very small loads. Change the Dry Level setting on Automatic 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. Stains on load or drum Loads are wrinkled Dryer fabric softener not properly used. Load not removed from dryer at the end of the cycle. Dryer tightly packed. 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 Tumble Press® feature to tumble the load without heat to avoid wrinkling. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely to reduce the chance of wrinkles forming. Odors You have recently been painting, staining, or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located. Ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing. Load is too hot The electric dryer is being used for the first time. Laundry items were removed from the dryer before the end of the cycle. A high temperature cycle was used or the WASH TEMP control was set to high. The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle. Allow Cool Down cycle to finish 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 off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This reduces overdrying. 22
