Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Clothes Too Wet**
Clothes may come out too wet if the spin option is not selected, incorrect cycle is used, or if the wash load is out of balance -
**Wrinkling**
This can occur due to incorrect wash and dry cycles, improper sorting of fabric types, overloading, or washing in too hot water -
**Dryer Doesn’t Heat**
The dryer may tumble but not heat if a fuse is blown or the circuit breaker is tripped. Make sure the dryer is properly plugged in, and the power settings are correct -
**Lint on Clothes**
If lint is left on clothes, it could be due to a full lint filter, improper sorting, or overloading. Ensure the lint screen is cleaned before each load -
**Water Leaks**
Water leaks can result from an improperly connected fill or drain hose or from using too much detergent that produces excess suds

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the ecoDry feature: Enable the ecoDry mode to reduce the total energy consumption of your drying cycles. This feature adjusts the cycle settings to conserve energy, although it may extend drying times.
- Choose the right settings: Select lower temperature settings like "Low" or "Extra Low" for lighter or delicate fabrics to save energy. The higher the temperature or dryness setting, the more energy will be used.
- Wash with cold water: Whenever possible, choose cold water washing cycles instead of hot water. Traditional electric water heating accounts for about 90% of the energy used for washing clothes .
- Optimize your load size: Avoid both underloading and overloading the washer and dryer. Too few items can lead to unnecessary energy use per cycle, while overloading can cause inefficient cleaning and drying, leading to repeat cycles .
- Regular maintenance: Keep the lint filter clean and ensure that the exhaust vent is unobstructed. A clean lint filter and vent system improve airflow and efficiency, reducing drying time and energy consumption .
- Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving to prevent accidental entanglement.
- Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
- Ensure proper supervision of children when they are around the appliance, and do not allow children to play on or inside the appliance.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance.
- Before servicing the appliance, unplug it or turn off the circuit breaker. Pressing the Power or Start/Pause button does not disconnect power.
