~Sort clothes by weight so you won’t have to run an extra cycle for one
or two heavier, slower-drying items.
eDo not overload your dryer. For efficient drying, clothes need
to tumble freely.
eUse Automatic Cycles whenever possible to help prevent overdrying and
to save energy.
QTo help prevent ironing, use Knits/Delicates (Low Heat) or Perm. Press
(Medium Heat). Remove garments promptly at end of drying cycle and
place on hangers,

@Ilyer door is open. Closedoor securely—dryerwill notrunwith door open.
QCircuit is overloaded.Do not operate other applianceson the same electrical
outletor circuit while the dryer is operating.
~Controlsimproperly set.Check all controlsto make sure they are correctly
setfor the load you want to dry.See the How to Operate YourDryer section.
~Clogged lint filter.Remove and clean filter before every load. Periodically clean
area underlint filer with vacuum cleaner. See the Care and Cleaning section.
~Improper ducting. Make suredryer is ducted in accordance with the
InstallationInstructions.
@Obstructionin exhaust ducting.Make sure ducting is clean and free of
obstruction;make sure damper in outsidewall cap operateseasily.If flexible
ducting is used, be sure it is not kinked and is properly installed according to
theInstallation Instructions.
~Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Check household fuses or circuit
breakers. Most electric dryers use two. It is possible for one to be blown or
tripped and the dryer stilltumble without heat.
oImproper sorting.Do not mix heavy, hard-to dry items with lightweight articles.
~Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take along
time to remove moisture.
~Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at atime. Do not combine
loads.
BToo few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two more similar articles,
even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.
BSome fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or
washed by hand and drip dried; others may be safely washed but will shrink
in adryer. Follow Garment Manufacturers’ Care Labels exactly. If in doubt,
do not machine wash or tumble dry.

~Toomany clothesin washer.Items must have room to move freely.
Permanent Press loads shouldalways be smaller than regular loads...
no more than medium loads.
eUse of incorrect wash and dry cycles. Use Permanent Press wash cycle
which provides acool-down rinse to minimize wrinkling. Also, use Permanent
Press drying cycle.
~Incorrect water levei. Use large water level for medium load; medium level
or half full for small load.
~Washingrepeatedly in too hot water. Wash in cool or warm water with
plenty of detergent.
~Accumulation of lime scale due to use of carbonate detergents. If you must
use anon-phosphate detergent, avoid the use of ahigh-carbonate detergent.
@Failure to use fabric softener.Proper use of fabric softener will
minimize wrinkling.
