Troubleshooting cont. First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website at www.whirlpool.com/product_help In Canada www.whirlpool.ca for assistance and to possibly avoid a service call. If you experience Possible Causes Solution Cycle time too short ACCUDRY™ or Automatic Dry cycle ending early. The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer. Use Timed Dry for very small loads. Change the Dry Level setting on ACCUDRY™/Automatic Dry cycles. Increasing or decreasing the Dry Level setting will change the amount of drying time in a cycle. Lint on load Lint screen clogged. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load. Stains on load or drum 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 items. Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing. Loads are wrinkled Load not removed from dryer at the Select Wrinkle Shield™ feature to tumble the load without heat end of the cycle. to avoid wrinkling. Dryer tightly packed. Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely and reduce formation of wrinkles. For steam cycles, the water is not properly connected with the dryer. 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. Odors 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. For steam cycles, the water is not properly connected with the dryer. 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. 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. Load is too hot Laundry items were removed from the dryer before the end of the cycle. Allow Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduce wrinkling and make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may feel very warm. A high temperature cycle was used or a separate temperature control was set to high. Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic 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. 12
