Part 10 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 7.Problem:It takes too long for my clothes to dry Question What to Do • Did you properly sort your loads of laundry? Separate heavy weight items from light weight items when creating loads. • Are you drying large loads of heavy fabrics? 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. • Are the dryer controls properly set? Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying. • Is the lint filter clean before each new load of laundry? Please confirm that the lint filter is clean prior to each new load of laundry. • Are the exhaust ducts clear and properly configured? Confirm through review of the appropriate sections of this manual that the exhaust venting ductwork is properly configured. Confirm that the venting is free of obstructions. Confirm that the outside wall dampers are moving freely, that the dampers are not pushed in, and that nothing has been set against the dampers. • Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit breaker tripped? Check your home's or laundry room's fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. (IMPORTANT: electric dryers generally use two fuses or breakers.) • Did you overload your dryer? Divide your larger load into a number of smaller loads. • Did you under load your dryer? If you are only drying a handful of items, add a few extra pieces to help ensure proper tumbling action. 8.Problem:My clothes are wrinkled Question • Are you over drying your laundry? What to Do Over drying 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. • Are you removing your laundry from the dryer soon after the drying cycle is complete? Remove your laundry from the dryer after the drying cycle ends and either hang or fold the items. 9.Problem:My clothes are shrinking Question What to Do • Are you following the care instructions for your garment? To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the care and use 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. 31
