Common Issues and Troubleshooting

  • **Dryer Takes Too Long to Dry Clothes**

    This is often caused by blocked or dirty exhaust ducts, which can hinder airflow. It is important to regularly check and clean the lint filter and ductwork to ensure efficient drying

  • **Dryer Not Heating**

    This can occur if the gas supply is turned off (for gas models), or due to a blown household fuse or tripped circuit breaker. It's important to ensure that gas valves are fully open and electrical connections are secure

  • **Flow Sense Indicator Warning**

    This warning is triggered when there are restrictions in the dryer’s exhaust system. Users should check for lint build-up or other obstructions in the ductwork and vent system

  • **Dryer Will Not Turn On**

    Could be due to improper plugging in of the power cord, or issues with the house's circuit breaker or fuse. Ensuring that the dryer is properly plugged into a working outlet is the first step in troubleshooting this issue

  • **Wrinkled Clothes**

    This can be a result of over-drying the clothes or leaving them in the dryer for too long after the cycle ends. Utilizing the Wrinkle Care feature, which periodically tumbles clothes after the cycle ends, can help prevent this

Maintenance Recommendations

  • 1. **Clean the Lint Filter**

    Frequency: After Every Cycle

    Remove lint from the filter after every drying cycle to ensure efficient operation and prevent potential fire hazards. Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before starting the dryer.

  • 2. **Check and Clean Ductwork**

    Frequency: Monthly

    Inspect the vent ductwork for lint buildup and debris. Ensure there are no obstructions. Clean the ductwork at least once a year or more frequently if drying performance decreases.

  • 3. **Vacuum Around and Under the Dryer**

    Frequency: Regularly

    Remove lint and dust from around and underneath the dryer to prevent accumulation that can affect dryer operation.

  • Unplug the appliance before cleaning to prevent electric shock. Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents.
  • Clean the lint filter after every cycle. This ensures efficient drying and prevents lint buildup, which can be a fire hazard.

Energy Efficiency Tips

  • Clean the lint filter before every load to ensure efficient airflow and reduce drying time.
  • Use Sensor Dry cycles instead of Manual Dry cycles to prevent overdrying and save energy.
  • Avoid overloading the dryer; clothes need space to tumble freely for efficient drying.
  • Sort and separate heavy items from lightweight items as they take longer to dry.
  • Make sure your exhaust duct is free from blockages and lint, facilitating better airflow.

  • Do not use an extension cord or adapter with the appliance to prevent risk of fire or electric shock.
  • In the event of a gas leak, do not operate the appliance. Open a window immediately to ventilate the area and call your gas supplier.

Disposal Instructions
