Possible Cause What To Do
Move dryer to an even floor space, or adjust leveling legs as
necessary until even.
Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a
well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to dry.
Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed drying
time.
Condensing dryers usually take longer to dry than a vented dryer.
Match control settings to the load you are drying.
Clean lint filter before every load.
Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most dryers use 2
fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating.
Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time.
If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items to ensure
proper tumbling.
When combining heavy and light fabrics in a load, choose More
Dry.
Inspect and clean lint filter, condenser, and/or air intake vent
located on the front of the dryer.
Clean the sensor with a moist cloth.
Press Start/Pause.
Hold the Lock Control button for 3 seconds to unlock the dryer.
Reset the in-house breaker.
This is normal. Press Power to activate the control panel.
Make sure the dryer plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
Check the building's fuse/circuit breaker box and replace fuse or
reset breaker. NOTE: Electric dryers use two fuses or breakers.
If the light on the Start/Pause button is flashing, the dryer is
paused. Press Start/Pause to restart the countdown.
If the Empty Tank light is on, you must empty the water tank
before the dryer will start. Refer to the Care and Cleaning section
for instructions on emptying the water tank.
This is normal. When the dryer senses a low level of moisture in
the load, the dryer will display the dry time remaining.
