■ Is the dryer located in a closet? Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. The rear of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm) of airspace, and the sides and front of the dryer require a minimum of 1" (25 mm). See the Installation Instructions. ■ Has the Air Only modifier been selected? Select the right temperature for the types of garments being dried. See "Modifiers." ■ Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? Separate the load to tumble freely. ■ Are clothes coming out of the Quick Refresh cycle with damp or wet spots? Under certain environmental or installation conditions you may experience underdrying. Select the Enhanced Touch Up cycle (20 min. default time), which can be customized by choosing temperature by pressing TEMP and/or cycle time by pressing the Time Adjust up or down buttons. Cycle time too short WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install dryer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. ■ Is the automatic cycle ending early? The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer. Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles. Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a cycle. Lint on load ■ Is the lint screen clogged? Clean lint screen. Check for air movement. Stains on load or drum ■ Was dryer fabric softener 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. Do not use fabric softener sheets in the Enhanced Touch Up or Quick Refresh Steam cycles. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). This will not transfer to other clothing. Loads are wrinkled ■ Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle? Select the Enhanced Touch Up Cycle to tumble the load with water and heat to help smooth out wrinkles from a load left in the dryer. ■ Was the dryer overloaded? Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Smaller loads yield best results with the Quick Refresh Cycle. Results may also vary depending on fabric type. This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics. ■ Loads are still wrinkled following Steam cycles? Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer's water inlet valve. Check that the water supply is turned on. These cycles are best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits, and synthetic garments. NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean only garments are not recommended. Odors ■ Have you 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. Is the dryer being used for the first time? The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle. ■ Is water connected to the dryer? Check that water inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer's water inlet valve. Check that the water supply is turned on. ■ To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select the Quick Refresh cycle for small loads of two to four garments. This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics. 28
