54 TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Clothes take too long to
dry
Clothes take too long to
dry
Possible Cause
Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty,
or duct run is too long.
Load is not properly sorted.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
Dryer controls are not set
properly.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
Dryer is overloaded.
Dryer is underloaded.
Solutions
Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly
configured and free of debris, lint, and
obstructions. Make sure that outside wall
dampers can open properly and are not
blocked, jammed, or damaged.
Separate heavy items from lightweight
items. Larger and heavier items take
longer to dry. Light items in a load with
heavy items can fool the sensor because
the light items dry faster.
Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because
they tend to retain more moisture. To help
reduce and maintain more consistent
drying times for large and heavy fabrics,
separate these items into smaller loads of
a consistent size.
Use the appropriate control settings for
the type of load you are drying. Some
loads may require an adjustment of the
dry level setting for proper drying.
Remove the lint from the filter before
every load. With the lint removed, hold
the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or
clogged. With some loads that produce
high amounts of lint, such as new bath
towels, it may be necessary to pause the
cycle and clean the filter during the cycle.
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.
NOTE
Due to the design of electric dryers,
it is possible for a circuit problem to
allow an electric dryer to run without
heat.
Divide extra large loads into smaller
loads for better drying performance and
efficiency.
If you are drying a very small load, add a
few extra items to ensure proper tumbling
action. If the load is very small and you
are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the
electronic control cannot properly sense
the dryness of the load and may shut off
too soon. Use TIME DRY or add some
extra wet clothes to the load.
