IROU [ES O011NG BEFORE CALMNG FOR SERVICE {cont.) Drying time is not consistent • Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent. Clothes take too long to dry Load is not properly sorted. Large load of heavy fabrics. Dryer controls are not set properly. Lint filter needs to be cleaned. Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long. Clothes are wrinkled Clothes are shrinking House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred. Dryer is overloaded. Dryer is underloaded. Clothes dried too long (overdried). Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends. Garment care instructions are not being followed. The display shows: Water supply error. Water drips from nozzle when Steam Cycle starts. This is normal. The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural, or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filter. Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to 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. Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle. Confirm that the exhaust ductwork 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. 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. Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying. If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action. Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture. Remove items from the dryer immediately at the end of the cycle. Use the WRINKLE CARE option to continue tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for up to 3 hours. To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care instructions for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting and/or the RACK DRY option. Check steam feeder drawer: (1) Make sure steam feeder is filled with water to MAX line. (2) Make sure steam feeder is seated properly and drawer is fully closed. (3) Turn the dryer off then restart the Steam cycle. Do not use distilled water; the water level sensor in steam generator will not work. Pump not working. Unplug dryer and call for service. This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time. J 40 MFL62512806 EN 0208.indd 40 2010.2.8 2:7:54 PM

and lint filter.
Separate heavy items from lightweight
items. Larger
and heavier items take longer to dry.
Heavy fabrics
take longer to dry because
they tend
to retain more moisture.
To help reduce and maintain

fabrics,
separate
these items into smaller
loads of
a consistent
size.
Use the appropriate
