TROUBLESHOOTING If you experience Cycle time too short Lint on load Stains on load or drum Loads are wrinkled Odors Load is too hot First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website at www.maytag.com/help. In Canada, visit www.maytag.ca for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call. Possible Causes Solution Sensor cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer. Use a timed dry for very small loads. Change the dryness level setting on sensor cycles. Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a cycle. Lint screen clogged. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load. Dryer fabric softener not properly used. Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing. Load not removed from dryer at the end of the cycle. Select Wrinkle Control cycle to tumble the load without heat to avoid wrinkling. Dryer tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely to help prevent wrinkles from forming. You have recently been painting, staining, or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located. If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing. The electric dryer is being used for the first time. The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle. Laundry items removed from the dryer before the end of the cycle. Allow the dryer to finish the cool-down cycle before removing laundry from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduce wrinkling and make items easier to handle. Items removed before cooldown may feel very warm. A high temperature cycle was used or the Temperature knob was set on High. Select a lower temperature, and use a sensor drying cycle. These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This reduces overdrying. 10
