Care and Cleaning
- Before cleaning the dryer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
- Do not use any type spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.
Inside
- Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint buildup on the filter restricts air flow, which causes longer drying times. The filter is located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove by pulling straight up. Remove the lint and replace the filter.
- Occasionally a waxy build-up may form on the lint filter and/or moisture sensing bars from using dryer-added fabric softener sheets. To remove this build-up, wash them with warm, soapy water. Dry the filter thoroughly and replace. Do not operate the dryer without the lint filter in place.
- If the dryer drum becomes stained from noncolorfast fabrics, clean the drum with a damp cloth and a mild liquid household cleanser. Remove cleanser residue before drying the next load.
- Every 18 months an authorized servicer should clean the dryer cabinet interior and exhaust duct. These areas can collect lint and dust over time. An excessive amount of lint build-up could result in inefficient drying and possible fire hazard.
Outside
- Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers.
- If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several times with clear water.
- Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of the tape or label.
- When cleaning chrome parts use a window cleaner with ammonia or mild soap and water.
- Before moving the dryer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor.
Troubleshooting
Common Drying Problems: Many drying problems involve poor cleaning results, poor soil and stain removal, residues of lint and scum, and fabric damage. For satisfactory drying results, follow these suggestions provided by The Soap and Detergent Association.
| Problem | Possible Cause |
|---|---|
| Greasy, oily stains | Fabric softener sheet. Rub fabric softener stains with bar soap. Rinse and rewash. |
| Lint | Overdrying causes static electricity. Reduce load size and rewash using liquid fabric softener in the final rinse. • Or, add a fabric softener sheet and tumble without heat. |
| Pilling (Fibers ball up and cling to fabric) | Overdrying. Use a lint brush or shaver to remove pills. |
| Shrinking | Temperature too high. Irreversible condition. |
| Wrinkling | Overloading. Reduce load size and tumble at medium or low heat for 5-10 minutes. |
| Dryer does not start. | Electrical power cord is not securely plugged in or plug may be loose. Make sure the plug fits tightly in wall outlet. |
| LCD displays DEMO MODE | Dryer has been programmed to temporarily perform a repeating demo cycle. To return to the factory default settings, select RESET in set prefs under the options scroll buttons. |
| Dryer runs but won’t heat | There are 2 house fuses in the dryer circuit. If 1 of the 2 fuses is blown, the drum may turn but the heater will not operate. (electric models) Replace fuse. |
| Drying cycle takes too long, outside of the dryer feels too hot or smells hot | Lint filter is clogged with lint. Make sure all lint has been removed from the dryer lint filter before starting each cycle. |
| Excessive wrinkling | Dryer is overloaded. Do not overload. |
| Scratching or chipping of the drum finish | Foreign objects such as coins, pins, clips or buttons are inside the dryer. Always remove foreign objects from pockets before laundering. Remove objects from drum and restart dryer. |
