Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size? 
 
Use 4" (102 mm) 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" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear of the 
dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions.
Has an air dry cycle been selected? 
 
Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried. 
Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? 
 
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Lint on load
Is the lint screen clogged? 
 
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Stains on load or drum
Was dryer fabric softener properly used? 
 
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. 
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain 
your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans). 
This will not transfer to other clothing. 
Loads are wrinkled
Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?
Was the dryer tightly packed? 
 
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.
Odors
Have you recently been painting, staining, or varnishing in 
the area where your dryer is located?
 
 
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from 
the area, rewash and dry the clothing. 
Is the dryer being used for the first time? 
 
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor 
will be gone after the first cycle.
