Check the Lint Filter
Clean the lint filter each time the dryer is used. Always be sure the lint filter
is in place. Don’t use the dryer without it. See the Care and Cleaning section.
Sort and Load the Clothes
Good sorting for the dryer begins at the washer. Generally, if clothes are
sorted right for washing, they’re sorted right for drying. See the How to
Sort the Clothes section. If you do mix various types of fabrics in your

The Difference Between Automatic and Timed Drying
Timed Drying
Automatic Drying
When using the Timed Cycles, you select the number
of minutes you wish the dryer to run and it turns off at
the end of this time period.
When using the Automatic Cycles, the
Automatic Dry Control system continually senses
the temperature of the air in the dryer drum. Wet
laundry keeps the air cool. When laundry is dry
enough ( and the drum air warm enough) the heat
turns off. When the air cools, the heat turns back on.
This off and on cycling may happen a number of
times (depending on the fabric, load size and cycle
Selector setting). The Cycle Selector advances (when

ducting is used, be sure it is not kinked and is properly installed according to
the Installation 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 still tumble without heat.
. Improper sorting. Do not mix heavy, hard-to dry items with lightweight articles.
●
Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take a long
time to remove moisture.
Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine
loads.
●
●
Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two more similar articles,
even if dry, to insure proper tumbling.
Some fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or
washed by hand and drip dried; others maybe safely washed but will shrink
in a dryer. Follow Garment Manufacturers’ Care Labels exactly. If in doubt,
do not machine wash or tumble dry.
SHRINKAGE, GENERAL
POSSIBLE CAUSE
●
shrinkage can occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly
stretched and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment may
be pressed back into shape after each wash and dry cycle.
●
Progressive or delayed shrinkage is caused when starch or sizing (in some
fabrics) is
removed by laundering. Maybe noticed in older garments
that have been laundered many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for
Relaxation Shrinkage above.
●
Shrinkage caused by overheating occurs in certain knit fabrics that have
been heat-shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the
temperatures used to shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected,
but it can be prevented by washing in cold or warm water; drying on low heat.
●
●

●
Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops. Remove clothes promptly and
hang them immediately.

●
Too many clothes in washer. Items must have room to move freely.
Permanent Press loads should always be smaller than regular loads .,.

Use of incorrect wash and dry cycles. Use Permanent Press wash cycle
which provides a cool-down rinse to minimize wrinkling. Also, use Permanent
Press (Medium) drying cycle.
. Incorrect water level. Use large water level for medium load; medium level
or half full for small load.
●
●
●
Washing repeatedly 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 a non-phosphate detergent, avoid the use of a high-carbonate detergent.
Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use of fabric softener will
