Blown fuses or tripped
circuit breaker
Overloading/combining

Overloading
Some fabrics will
naturally shrink when
washed. Others can be
safely washed, but will
shrink in the dryer
What to do
Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a
well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer
to dry. Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to
speed drying time.
Match control settings to the load you are drying.
Clean lint filter before every load.
Check installation instructions for proper ducting/venting.
Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed.
Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily.
Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer
venting is correct.
Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most dryers
use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating.
Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time.
If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items
to ensure proper tumbling.
Select a shorter drying time.
Remove items while they still hold a slight amount of moisture.
Select a Less Dry setting.
Remove items when cycle ends and fold or hang immediately.
Separate large loads into smaller ones.
To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care labels exactly.
Some items may be pressed back into shape after drying
If you are concerned about shrinkage in a particular
item, do not machine wash or tumble dry it.
