“PF” (power failure), check the following:

“F-” Variable (F-01, F-22, F-23, F-26) service codes (the 
display alternately flashes "F-" and then the error code 
number):
Call for service.

■

Is the lint screen clogged with lint? 
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

■

Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with 
lint, restricting air movement? 
Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the 
outside exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not 
feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace 
exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See 
“Venting Requirements.”

■

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? 
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

■

Is the exhaust vent the correct length? 
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many 
turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See “Plan Vent 
System.”  

■

Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size? 
Use 4" (10.2 cm) diameter vent material.

■

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45ºF (7ºC)? 
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 
45ºF (7ºC).

■

Is the dryer located in a closet? 
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and 
bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum 
of 1" (2.5 cm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear 
of the dryer requires 5" (12.7 cm). See “Installation 
Instructions.”

■

Has the Air Only temperature setting been selected? 
Select the right temperature for the types of garments being 
dried. See “Additional Features.”

■

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? 
Separate the load to tumble freely.

■

Is the automatic cycle ending early? 
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the 
dryer.

Change the dryness level setting on Auto Cycles. Increasing 
or decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of 
drying time in a cycle.

Do not use a dryer rack with an Auto Cycle.
