Drying ended earlier than the initial control panel time. Clothes take too long to dry. Possible Cause & Solution 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. Selected cycle does not use heat. • Some cycles default to unheated or air drying.
