Cycle time too short

Sensor cycle ending early.

The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the dryer.
Use Timed Dry for very small loads. 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 Dry Default Settings.

Lint on load

Lint screen clogged.

Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

Stains on load or drum

Dryer fabric softener not 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). 

These will not transfer to other clothing.

Loads are wrinkled

Dryer overloaded.

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 electric 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.

Load is too hot

Were laundry items removed from 

the dryer before the end of the cycle?

Allow the Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry 

from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling and 

make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down may 

feel very warm.

Was a high temperature cycle used, 

or was a separate temperature  

control set on high?

Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle. 

These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the 

load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness. This 

reduces overdrying.

Load not removed from dryer at the 

end of the cycle.

Select Wrinkle Prevent feature to tumble the load without heat to 

avoid wrinkling.
