en-us_main.book.book Page 65 Monday, February 20, 2023 2:02 PM ENGLISH TROUBLESHOOTING 65 Problem Clothes have damp spots after a dry cycle. Possible Cause & Solution Very large load or very small load. Single large item such as a blanket or comforter. • If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble reading the dryness level of the load. Use a Timed Dry cycle for very small loads. • Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the inner core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas. • To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp spots on a large item after a sensor cycle has completed, empty the lint trap, and then set a Timed Dry cycle to finish drying the item(s). Steam Function Problem Water drips from nozzle when Steam cycle starts. Steam does not generate, but no error code is shown. Water drips from door during Steam cycle. Steam is not visible during Steam cycle. Drum does not turn during Steam cycle. Cannot see steam vapor at the beginning of cycle. Possible Cause & Solution This is normal. • This is steam condensation when Steam cycle starts. The dripping water will stop after a short time. Water level error. • Unplug dryer and call for service. This is normal. • Condensation will normally form on the inside of the dryer door during steam operation. Some condensation may drip out the bottom of the door. This is normal. • Steam vapor is difficult to see when the door is closed. However, condensation will normally form on the inside of the dryer door if the steam system is operating normally. This is normal. • The drum is turned off so that the steam vapor remains in the drum. The drum will normally turn for about 2 seconds once a minute. This is normal. • Steam is released at different stages of the cycle for each option.

TROUBLESHOOTING
ENGLISH
Steam Function
Clothes have damp
spots after a dry
cycle.
Very large load or very small load. Single large item such as a blanket or comforter.
If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble reading the
dryness level of the load. Use a
Timed Dry
cycle for very small loads.
Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a
tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the inner
core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once
or twice and rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.
To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp spots on a large
item after a sensor cycle has completed, empty the lint trap, and then set a
Timed Dry
cycle to finish drying the item(s).
