Troubleshooting 47 ENGLISH Problem Clothes take too long to dry Possible Cause Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long. Solutions Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged. 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. Clothes take too long to Large load of heavy fabrics. dry 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. NOTE Due to the design of electric dryers, it is possible for a circuit problem to allow an electric dryer to run without heat. Dryer is overloaded. Dryer is underloaded. Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for better drying performance and efficiency. If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is very small and you are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of the load and may shut off too soon. Use TIME DRY or add some extra wet clothes to the load.
