Possible Causes

Solution

Dryer Results (cont.)

Clothes are not drying  

satisfactorily or drying 

times are too long 

(cont.)

The load is too large and heavy  

to dry quickly.

Separate the load to tumble freely.

Fabric softener sheets are blocking 

the grille.

The air outlet grille is just inside the door, behind the lint screen. Check that 

it is not blocked by a fabric softener sheet. 

Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

The dryer is located in a room with 

temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45ºF (7ºC).

The dryer is 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” (25 mm) of airspace, 

and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5” (127 mm).  

See the Installation Instructions.

Cycle time is too short

The load may not be contacting  

the sensor strips on Sensor Cycles.

Level the dryer. See the Installation Instructions. All four dryer feet should 

be in firm contact with the floor.

Clothes are coming out of the 

Refresh cycle with damp or wet 

spots.

Under certain environmental or installation conditions, you may experience 

underdrying. Select the Timed Dry cycle, medium drying temperature, for  

5 to 10 minutes. 

The Sensor Cycle is ending early.

Change the dryness level setting on Sensor Cycles. Increasing or 

decreasing the dryness level will change the amount of drying time in a 

cycle. If loads are consistently ending too early, see also “Changing the 

Sensor Cycle settings to increase drying time.” 

Lint on load

Lint screen is clogged with lint.

Clean lint screen before each load.

Stains on load

Improper use of fabric softener.

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric 

softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments.  

Do not use fabric softener sheets with steam cycles.

Stains on drum

Loose dyes in clothes.

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). These will 

not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled

The load was not removed from 

dryer at the end of the cycle.

Select Custom Refresh Cycle to tumble the load with water and heat. This 

cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from dry loads 

consisting of one to 9 dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester 

blend, common knits, and synthetic garments.

NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only garments 

are not recommended.

The dryer was tightly packed.

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. When using the Custom Refresh 

cycle (on some models), adjust the garment number based on the load 

size. Results may also vary depending on fabric type. This cycle is best for 

reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free cotton, 

cotton-polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics.

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.
