Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Possible Cause | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| Dryer shakes or makes noise | Some shaking/noise is normal. Dryer may be sitting unevenly. | Move dryer to an even floor space, or adjust leveling legs as necessary until even. |
| Clothes take too long to dry | Improper or obstructed ducting | Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer venting is correct. Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed. Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily. |
| Improper sorting | Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load). | |
| Large loads of heavy fabrics (like beach towels) | Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to dry. Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed drying time. | |
| Controls improperly set | Match control settings to the load you are drying. | |
| The Dryness Level was chosen but load is still damp | Lint filter is full | Clean lint filter before every load. |
| Blown fuses or tripped circuit breaker | Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. NOTE: Some electric dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating. | |
| Overloading/combining loads | Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time. | |
| Underloading | If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items to ensure proper tumbling. | |
| ecoDry is enabled | The ecoDry feature is designed to operate your dryer in the most energy efficient mode, which is not always the fastest mode. In some instances, dry times may be extended to reduce overall energy usage for the cycle. | |
| Load consists of a mixture of heavy and light fabrics | When combining heavy and light fabrics in a load, choose Max Dry. | |
| Exhaust system is blocked | Inspect and clean exhaust system. | |
| Dryer doesn't start | Control panel is "asleep" | This is normal. Press Power to activate the control panel. |
| Dryer is unplugged | Make sure the dryer plug is pushed completely into the outlet. | |
| Fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped | Check the building's fuse/circuit breaker box and replace fuse or reset breaker. NOTE: Some electric dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating. | |
| No numbers displayed during cycle, only lights | Dryer was accidentally paused when starting Delay Dry | If the light on the Start/Pause button is flashing, the dryer is paused. Press Start/Pause to restart the countdown. |
| Time Remaining jumped to a lower number | Dryer is continuously monitoring the amount of moisture in the clothes | This is normal. When the dryer senses a low level of moisture in the load, the dryer will display the dry time remaining. |
| Cannot make a selection and the dryer beeps twice | The estimated time may change when a smaller load than usual is drying | This is normal. |
| The dryness Level, Temp or option that you are trying to select is incompatible with the chosen dry cycle | This is normal. | |
| The Wrinkle Care option was chosen | This is normal. During extended tumbling, the time remaining is not displayed. The extended tumbling option lasts approximately 60 minutes. | |
| Dryer is running but 00 is displayed in Time Remaining | This is normal. | During extended tumbling, the time remaining is not displayed. The extended tumbling option lasts approximately 60 minutes. |
| "Vent Blocked" light is on | Lint filter is full | Clean lint filter, dry a load on an automatic cycle and verify that light turns off. |
| Improper or obstructed ducting | Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer venting is correct. Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed. Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily. | |
| Exhaust system is blocked | Inspect and clean the exhaust system. Dry a load on an automatic cycle and verify that light turns off. |
