TROUBLESHOOTING (cont.) To possibly avoid a service call, first try the suggestions listed here or refer to the "Assistance or Service" page. 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. Dryer tightly packed. Recent painting, staining, or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located. Dryer being used for the first time. Laundry items removed from the dryer before the end of the cycle. High temperature cycle used or was TEMPERATURE control set to high. Solution The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer. Use Timed Dry 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. 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. 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 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. 11
