Possible Causes
• Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take
longer to dry.
• Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture.
To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy
fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.
• Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.
• Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that
produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the
cycle.
• Confirm that the exhaust ductwork is properly configured and free of debris,
lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly
and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the
problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper
tumbling action.
• To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care instructions for
your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other
fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no
heat setting.
• Pause the drying cycle and clean the lint filter.
• Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation Instructions.
• Ductwork should be checked/cleaned soon.
Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying times may be longer.
• If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the FLOW SENSE
will remain on for two hours after the end of the cycle. Opening the door or
pressing the POWER button will turn off the display.
• Do not use the dryer until the exhaust system has been cleaned and/or
repaired. Using the dryer with a severely restricted exhaust is dangerous and
could result in a fire or other property damage.
• Check the outside dryer vent while the dryer is operating to make sure there is
strong airflow.
• If the exhaust system is extremely long, have it repaired or rerouted.
• Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter.
• Check vent hood for damage or lint clogging.
• Make sure the area around the vent hood is clear.
