will remain "ON" the next time that cycle is selected.)
Damp Dry Signal
On some models, the Damp Dry Signal may be selected to alert
you that your clothes are approximately 80% dry. This is useful
when you want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to
avoid overdrying or remove partially dry items that may need
ironing.
The DAMP DRY SIGNAL is useful when drying bedsheets/linens in
a mixed load. When the signal goes off, open the door to stop the
dryer, rearrange the load inside the dryer, close the door and
restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load
will aid in the drying process.

drying cycle is finished.
Press until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off) glows green.
NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD TM feature is selected and the
End of Cycle Signal is on, an audible sound will be emitted every
5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE
SHIELD TM feature is finished.

DRYERCARE
" ' ' l.}_/Te' [,ocal_on
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
To clean
1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with your
fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is
hard to remove.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from dryer.
Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 ram) above the floor
for a garage instalation.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
'_......._;IIIl=l_]__._,I,..,.,.,,1,.
Every load cleaning
The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. The
control panel has an indicator light to remind you to clean the lint
screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase
drying time.
2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.
IM PORTANT:
• Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,
blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and
damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
• If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check
the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See "Venting
Requirements."
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the
lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your
clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely
dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen
is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more
frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.
To wash
1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
2. Wetbothsidesoflintscreenwithhotwater.

To clean dryer drum
1. Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent and very
warm water.
2. Apply paste to a soft cloth.
OR
Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the stained
area and rub with a soft cloth until all excess dye and stains
are removed.
3. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.
4. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry drum.
NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue
jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer
interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not
stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to
avoid transfer of dye.
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending
on dryer usage.

Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some
water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your dryer. If
storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.
Non-Use or Storage Care
Operate your dryer only when you are at home. Ifyou will be on
vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time,
you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See "Cleaning the Lint Screen."
3. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to avoid
unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you
are away.
Moving care

For additional recommendations, refer to your Installation Instructions.
Dryer will not run
• Is the dryer door firmly closed?
• Was the Start button firmly pressed?
Large loads may require pressing and holding the Start button
for 2-5 seconds.
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
There may be 2 household fuses or circuit breakers for the
dryer. Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both
circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Is the correct power supply available?
Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a
qualified electrician.
Was a regular fuse used?
Use a time-delay fuse.
Unusualsounds
Has the dryer had a period of non-use?
If the dryer hasn't been used for a while, there may be a
thumping sound during the first few minutes of operation.
Is a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum
and front or rear of the dryer?
Check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects.
Clean out pockets before laundering.
Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to
back and side to side?
The dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See the
Installation Instructions.
Is the clothing knotted or balled up?
When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the dryer to
vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the dryer.
No heat
Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
The drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. Electric
dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. Replace the
fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Ifthe problem continues, call
an electrician.
Dryer displaying code message
• "PF" (power failure), check the following:
Was the drying cycle interrupted by a power failure?
Press and hold START to restart the dryer.
"L2" Diagnostic Code (low or no line voltage condition):
The drum will turn, but there may be a problem with your
home power supply keeping the dryer's heater from turning
on. The dryer will continue to run when this diagnostic code is
present. Press any key to clear the code from the display and
return to the estimated time remaining.
Try the following:
Check to see if a household fuse has blown or circuit breaker
has tripped. Electric dryers use two household fuses or
breakers. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Confirm the power cord is properly installed. Refer to
"Electrical Connection" for details.
Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer.
If the message persists, consult a qualified electrician.
"AF" (low airflow condition):
The dryer will continue to run when this diagnostic code is
present. Press any key to clear the code from the display and
return to the estimated time remaining.
Try the following:
• Clean lint screen.
• Check to see if the vent run from the dryer to the wall is
crushed or kinked.
• Confirm the vent run from the dryer to the wall is free of lint
and debris.
• Confirm the exterior vent exhaust hood is free of lint and
debris.
11
Confirm your vent system falls within the recommended
run length and number of elbows for the type of vent you
are using. Refer to "Plan Vent System" in the Installation
Instructions for details.
• Select aTimed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer.
If the message persists, have your entire home venting run
cleaned.
"E" Variable (El, E2, E3) service codes:
Call for service.
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too long,
or load is too hot
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.
Has the Air Only temperature setting been selected?
Select the right temperature for the types of garments being
dried. See "Additional Features."
Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly?
Separate the load to tumble freely.
Are clothes coming out of the Refresh cycle with damp or
wet spots?
Under certain environmental or installation conditions you may
experience underdrying. Select the Touch Up cycle (20 min.
default time), which can be customized by selecting High
temperature and/or additional cycle time by pressing the Dry
Time up button.
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with
lint, restricting air movement?
Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the
outside exhaust hood to check air movement. Ifyou do not
feel air movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace
exhaust vent with heavy metal or flexible metal vent. See the
Installation Instructions.
Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille?
Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.
Is the exhaust vent the correct length?
Check that the exhaust vent is not too long or has too many
turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See the
Installation Instructions.
Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size?
Use 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material.
Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below 45°F
(7°C)?
Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above
45°F (7°C).
Is the dryer located in a closet?
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and
bottom of the door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum
of 1" (25 mm) of airspace, and, for most installations, the rear
of the dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation
Instructions.
Cycle time too short
Is the automatic cycle ending early?
The load may not be contacting the sensor strips. Level the
dryer.
Change the dryness level setting on Automatic Cycles.
Increasing or decreasing the dryness level will change the
amount of drying time in a cycle.
Lint on load
• Is the lint screen clogged?
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.
Stains on load or drum
Was dryer fabric softener properly used?
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can
stain your garments. Do not use fabric softener sheets with
steam cycles.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue
jeans). These will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled
Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?
Select Enhanced Touch Up Cycle to tumble the load with
water and heat. This cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles
and reducing odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-free
cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits and synthetic
garments.
NOTE: Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry clean only
garments are not recommended.
Loads are still wrinkled following Steam Cycle?
Make sure water is connected to the dryer. Check that water
inlet hose is connected to both the faucet and dryer's water
inlet valve. Check that the water supply is turned on.
Was the dryer overloaded?
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely. Smaller loads of 1-4
garments yield best results with Quick Refresh Cycle. Results
may also vary depending on fabric type. This cycle is best for
reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-
free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits and
synthetics.
Odors
Have you recently been painting, staining, or varnishing in
the area where your dryer is located?
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone
from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.
Is water connected to the dryer?
Check that water inlet hose is connected to both the faucet
and dryer's water inlet valve. Check that the water supply is
turned on.
To remove odors left in garments after wearing, select Quick
Refresh for small loads of 1-4 garments. This cycle is best for
reducing wrinkles and odors from loads consisting of wrinkle-
free cotton, cotton polyester blends, common knits, and
synthetics.
