Possible Causes

Solution

Dryer Results (cont.)

Clothes are not drying  

satisfactorily or drying  

times are too long (cont.)

The exhaust vent is not the correct 

length.

Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many 

turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the Installation 

Instructions.

The exhaust vent diameter is not the  

correct size.

Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.

The dryer is not level.

Clothes not contacting the moisture sensors during Sensor 

cycles. See “Level Dryer” in the Installation Instructions.

The Air Only temperature setting or  

Air Dry cycle (depending on model)  

has been selected.

Select the correct temperature for the types of garments  

being dried. See “Cycle Guide.”

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.

Steam models only: 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.

Steam models only: Select Refresh Cycle to tumble the load 

with water and heat. This cycle is best for reducing wrinkles from 

loads left in the dryer too long.

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. 

Steam models only: 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.
