Helps and Hints

The directions for installation and proper exhausting are given in the Installation

Instructions which are included with the dryer.

Static electricity may cause garments of synthetic fibers (as in lingerie) to cling together, especially if they are overdried. The use of a liquid fabric softener in the rinse water of the washer, or a fabric softener sheet in the dryer, will soften clothes and reduce static electricity.

Do not wash or dry clothes that shed lint in the same load with permanent press or knit garments.

Remove permanent press loads immediately after dryer stops.

have correctly sorted the items for shing, they should be properly sorted for drying ioo.

1. Sort by colon

2.

Separate lint shedding fabrics and lint receiving fabrics.

Towels, flannels, chenille, cottons, rugs, etc., shed lint. Corduroys, knits (including socks), permanent press, and synthetics attract lint.

3.

Separate no heat, low heat and high heat items.

In any kind of drying, lightweight fabrics will dry faster than heavyweight fabrics.

If mixed loads are dried together (such as sheets and towels), remove the lighter weight fabrics when they are dry to prevent overdrying and wrinkling.

The best method is to dry clothes which require the same time and temperature in the same load.

W527

Do not overload your dryer. Bulk, not weight, determines the load size. If the dryer is overloaded, it could cause discoloration or permanent heat damage to the load.

There should be space in the dryer for the clothes to tumble freely and help to reduce wrinkles.

Large and small pieces together make up loads which will tumble well. Permanent press loads should be smaller to provide room for tumbling.

Proper tumbling allows for fewer wrinkles.

A load can be too small. Just a few small pieces will not tumble properly. They will take longer to dry and they may be wrinkled.

For small loads, add a couple of large towels or non lint shedding items to aid in tumbling.

°

The following illustrations showthe ideal load sizes for fabrics.

The average load will fill the cylinder one third to half full when wet.

Operating Your Dryer

WARNING

To reduce shock, persons, the risk of fire, electric serious injury or death read the Safety to

Information section before operating the dryer.

W520

Available Drying Cycles

NOTE: Use the automatic cycles for drying items that can be dried with heat. These cycles automatically selected.

dry loads to the dryness level

MAX DRY will dry very small loads and some heavy items, such as blue jeans, but will overary lightweight items, such as sheets and shirts.

Overdrying can cause wrinkling, shrinking, excessive lint conditions, and will use more energy than necessary.

MORE DRY will dry medium sized loads.

LESS DRY, which uses the least energy, will dry large loads and lightweight items, such as sheets and shirts, but might leave other items, such as denim and heavy bath towels, more damp.

To increase energy savings and to make sure loads are dried without overdrying, set your loads on LESS DRY If items are damp at the end of a cycle, the timer knob needs to be set closer to the MORE DRY setting the next time these loads are dried.

If items are overdry at the end of a cycle, the timer knob should be set closer to

COOL DOWN or COOL TUMBLE when these loads are dried again. Remember the settings that work best to get ideal drying results.

The COOL DOWN and COOL TUMBLE period at the end of each cycle provides items a chance to tumble with no heat and cool down to room temperature.

This prevents wrinkles from setting if items cannot be cared for immediately.

NOTE: The timer knob will not advance as quickly in the AUTOMATIC cycles as it does in the TIME

DRY cycle. The time it takes for the timer to advance depends on the type and size of the load being dried.

The ENERGY SAVER settings, marked with a dot

(o), show which settings will use the least energy and will leave items damp for easier ironing.

Automatic Regular/Delicate Cycle

Use for sturdy items like play or work clothes and also for delicate items. The type of heat is determined by choosing the proper Fabric

Selector option.

There are three settings in the

AUTOMATIC REGULAR/DELICATE cycleMAX

DRY, MORE DRY, and LESS DRY,

Time Dry Cycle

This cycle will operate dryer for up to 75 minutes.

Cottons and heavyweight items dry best between

5Q and 75 minutes, and lightweight items dry best between 2Q and 4Q minutes.

Automatic Wrinkle Out Cycle

(available on select models only)

Use this for items that are slightly wrinkled after sitting in a dryer or laundry basket overnight.

The cycle has a short heat setting followed by a five minute COOL DOWN or COOL TUMBLE.

Automatic Permanent Press/Knits Cycle

Use for permanent press items and synthetics.

The type of heat is determined by selecting the proper Fabric Selector option.

There are two settings in the AUTOMATIC

PERMANENT PRESS/KNITS cycle -MORE DRY and

Try these troubleshooting tips before making a service call You may save time and money!

Dryer won't start

Dryer won't heat

Dryer doesn't dry clothes satisfactorily

Dryer is noisy

Cycle advances too slowly

Clothes are too wrinkled

Clothes have odor

• For dryers equipped with a power cord, make sure the power cord is plugged all the way into the electrical outlet,

• Make sure loading door is closed,

• Push timer knob in to start dryer,

• Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn't blown or loose, or circuit breakers aren't open, The dryer itself does not have an dectrical fuse, An electric dryer has an electrical circuit with two fuses,

• Check if motor overload protector has cycled, Wait 10 minutes and try again,

•

• Make sure timer is not in COOL DOWN, COOL TUMSLE or EXTENDED TUMBLE settings or that Fabric Selector is not set at NO HEAT.

• Electric dryers onlySome homes may have two fuses or circuit breakers for a_ electric dryer; both fuses or circuit breakers should be checked. Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn't blown or loose, or that the circuit breakers aren't open. The electric d_er itself does not have an electrical fuse.

• Gas dryer on_y- Make sure equipment an_ mai_ gas line valve is turned on.

• Check exhaust _uct to 9utside to see if it is kinked, I?locKe_ or needs cleaning.

• CnecK weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not been pushed in or has not been blockea

• Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or needs cleaning,

• Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not been pushed in or has not been blocked,

• Automatic cycle - Adjust to MAX, MORE or LESS DRY setting,

• Timed cycle Allow more or less time,

• Clean the lint filter,

• Make sure the load isn't too small, Small loads may not tumble properly or dry evenly,

• Check load being dried, Heaw items dried with lightweight items will not dry as quickly as the rest of the load, Refer to Sort section for proper sorting information,

• Check dryer for foreign objects (nails, coins, bobby pins, metal, plastic toys, etc.).

•

Remove items from dryer.

• Normal operating sounds include the tick of timer advancing, heat source going on and off, and humming of air moving through the dryer and exhaust system.

• Automatic cycles advance slower than the Time Dry cycle, When in an Automatic cycle, the time it takes for the timer to advance depends on the type and size of the load being dried, When clothing has more moisture, the timer advances slower than when the clothes are more dry,

• Check heat sett ng. Overdrying can cause wrinkling.

• Check load size. Large loads may not tumble properly and may cause wrinkling.

• Check room for odors before drying clothes, Any odor (fried foods, paint, varnish, cleaners, burning wood, etc,) will transfer to clothing as the dryer draws air from the room, Ventilate room before drying clothes,
