Drying time is not consistent
Check if...
Heat settings, load size, or dampness
of clothing is not consistent.
Then...
The drying time for a load will vary depending on the type of
heat used (electric, natural, or LP gas), the size of the load,
the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the
condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filter. Even an
unbalanced load in the washer can cause poor spinning
resulting in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
Clothes
take too long to dry
Check if...
Then...
Load is not properly sorted.
Large load of heavy fabrics.
Dryer controls are not set properly.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned.
Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.
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
dryness level for proper drying.
Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some
loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to
pause the cycle and clean the filter during the cycle.
Blocked vents can add significant drying time to a load.
Confirm that the exhaust ductwork 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. Refer to the installation instructions at
the beginning of this manual for proper venting guidelines.
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped,
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase
or power outage has occurred,
fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have
it corrected by a qualified electrician.
Dryer is overloaded.
Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
Dryer is underloaded.
If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to
ensure proper tumbling action. If the load is too small, the
electronic control cannot properly sense the dryness of the
load and may shut off too soon. Use timed dry or add some
extra wet clothes to the load.
