Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
Dryer Does Not Start
This could be due to the electrical power cord not being securely plugged in, a blown house fuse or tripped circuit breaker, the action of pressing the start button on a touchscreen console not being recognized, or an open door. It's important to check these potential causes -
Dryer Runs But Won't Heat
This may happen if there is a blown fuse in the dryer circuit or if the gas supply valve is not open for gas models. It can also happen if the dryer does not have enough air supply to support the burner flame -
Drying Cycle Takes Too Long, or Dryer Feels Too Hot
Common causes include a clogged lint filter, not following exhaust duct requirements, or high humidity affecting the drying process. Ensuring proper venting and cleaning can mitigate these issues -
Excessive Wrinkling
This occurs when the dryer is overloaded, items are not removed promptly, or drying at too high a temperature. To prevent wrinkles, avoid overloading and try using a wrinkle release option -
Excess Moisture In Drum Between Cycles
This might happen if the exhaust damper is stuck open or not present. Checking and fixing the damper can prevent moisture accumulation
Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
- Always unplug the dryer before cleaning to avoid electrical shock hazards.
- Clean the lint filter after every load to maintain efficient drying and prevent fire hazards.
- If stains occur on the dryer drum, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser to clean it. Ensure all cleanser residue is removed before drying the next load.
- Periodically clean the dryer’s lint screen housing and exhaust duct at least every 18 months with the help of a qualified service technician to prevent lint build-up.
- Clean the exterior of the dryer regularly with mild soap and water, avoiding abrasive cleansers that could damage the finish.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the "eco" option to reduce drying temperature and energy usage. This option adjusts the cycle to use less energy while still effectively drying your clothes.
- Opt for the "normal" cycle by default, as it is designed to maximize energy efficiency without compromising performance.
- Regularly clean the lint filter after each load to ensure optimal airflow, which can help the dryer operate efficiently and reduce drying time.
- Avoid overloading the dryer. Allowing items to tumble freely not only ensures even drying but also reduces cycle duration.
- Use the "delay start" feature to run your dryer during off-peak energy hours, if applicable, to further save on energy costs.
- Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, or other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
- Avoid using flexible plastic or metal foil venting materials as they can create fire hazards by collapsing and trapping lint.
- Always clean the lint screen before or after each load. An excessive amount of lint build-up in the screen, interior of the dryer, exhaust duct, or lint screen housing could result in efficient drying and potential fire.
- Do not use an adaptor plug or extension cord, and do not remove the grounding prong from the electrical power cord, as it can cause serious injury, fire, or death.
- Ensure the dryer is installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local codes to prevent shock hazard. The ground prong must never be removed.
