What are Sensor Dry and Manual Dry?
Your dryer provides sensor drying and manual drying programs.
Sensor Dry Dryer electronically senses laundry moisture level and it automatically determines operation time
based on the dryness of the load and the selected program. At times,you can see sudden increase or
decrease of operation time. It happens because a sensor will detect laundry humidity with a certain period.
Sudden change of operation time is not a malfunction.
Manual Dry Manual Dry allows you to set operation time manually to complete drying. Or use Manual Dry if
clothes are still damp after sensor dry cycle is finished. Manual Dry is more effective for heavyweight and bulky
items such as king-size bed sheets and thick work clothes.

Exhaust and Dryer Maintenance
! WARNING!
Disconnect the dryer’s electric power
prior to any cleaning or maintenance.
1. Clean the lint filter either before drying each load
or after drying each load. Always make sure the
lint filter is clean before starting a new load,
because a clogged lint filter may increase drying
times.
2. To clean, pull the lint screen straight up and roll
any lint off the screen with your fingers.
Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Push
the lint screen firmly back into place.
3. Always ensure the lint screen is firmly secured
before running the dryer. Running the dryer with
a loose lint screen may cause overheating and
damage to the dryer and articles being dried.
4. Some articles of clothing may shed more lint than
others (towels for example), causing the Lint
Screen to rapidly fill. Remove lint from the lint
screen before and after drying these articles, such
as new towels.
5. In the event lint falls off of the lint screen and
into the dryer during removal, inspect the exhaust
hood and remove any lint.
6. Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can
build up on the lint screen, causing longer drying
times. The screen is likely blocked if lint falls off
the screen. In order to prevent this type of build
up, and help ensure proper operation of your
dryer, clean the lint screen with a nylon brush
every six months or, if necessary, more
frequently. The lint filter can also be washed as
follows:
a) After rolling the lint off of the screen with your
fingers, wet both sides of the screen with hot or
warm water.
b) Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid
detergent and scrub the lint screen with the brush
to remove the buildup of detergent and fabric
softener.
c) After the residue has been removed, rinse screen
with hot water.
d) After drying the lint screen with a clean towel,
firmly replace the lint screen in your dryer.
11
1. After one year of use, the interior and complete
exhaust system of the dryer should be examined and
cleaned if necessary.
2. Before one year of use, when drying performance has
become unsatisfactory, please examine and clean the
exhaust duct for better drying performance.
3. Check the weather hoods frequently to ensure the
dampers are moving freely, that the dampers are not
pushed in and that nothing has been set against the
dampers.
4. A qualified service person or company should be used
to perform this maintenance.
5. A Flexible Metal Vent Kit, available at extra cost, can
be used to exhaust the dryer when it is placed in hard
to reach places. This Kit comes in two pieces, one of
which is attached to the dryer and the other is attached
to the wall exhaust outlet. Following attachment of the
two separate pieces to the dryer and the wall, the dryer
may be returned to its final position, after which the
two pieces themselves can be connected.
7. Ordinarily, the dryer drum will need no care. Wipe the
exterior of the dryer as required, and always wipe the
exterior of the dryer in the event any detergent, bleach,
or other washing products is spilled on the dryer.
8. Clean the control panel with a damp cloth as
necessary. Warning: spray pre-wash products may
damage the finish of the control panel.
9. Please clean the lint filter either before drying each
load or after drying each load.
10. Always make sure the lint filter is clean before
starting a new load, because a clogged lint filter may
increase drying times.
11. Annually remove the lint filter and attach it to the
vacuum duct. See item #2 above.
12. Please note that the wiring diagram is provided inside
the dryer control hood. Label all wires prior to
disconnection when servicing the dryer, because
wiring errors can cause serious injury to you and your
dryer.

Troubleshooting Tips
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following
pages first and you may not need to call for service.
1.Problem:My Dryer Won ’t Start
Question
What to Do
• Is the dryer plugged in?
Confirm that the dryer’s plug is securely and completely pushed into the laundry
room’s power outlet
• Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit
breaker tripped?
Check your home’s or laundry room’s fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
2.Problem:My Dryer Doesn ’t Heat
Question
• Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit
breaker tripped?
What to Do
If the fuse is blown or the circuit breaker tripped, the dryer might tumble but not
heat. Check your home’s or laundry room’s fuse box / circuit breaker box and
replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
3.Problem:There are Greasy Spots on My Clothes
Troubleshooting Guide
What to Do
• Did you follow the instructions on
your fabric softener product?
Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener product.
• Are you drying clean and dirty
clothes together?
Make sure to use your dryer to dry only clean items, because dirty items can
soil clean clothes placed in the same load or later placed in the dryer drum.
• Were your clothes entirely clean?
Stains on dried clothes are actually stains that weren’t cleansed during the
washing process. Please review and confirm that you are following your
washing instructions and that the clothes are being completely cleaned.
22

F
4.Problem:There is Lint on my Clothes
Question
What to Do
• Is your lint filter full?
Please refer to the manual section on cleaning the lint filter, and please confirm
that the lint filter is clean. It is important that the lint filter is clean before each
new load of laundry.
• Did you properly sort your load of
laundry?
In order to reduce the amount of lint in a load of laundry, sort lint producers (like
a fuzzy white cotton towel) separately from clothes that might catch lint (such as a
pair of black linen pants).
• Do your clothes have excess static
electricity?
See comments below under There is static in my clothes after drying.
• Did you overload your dryer?
Divide your larger load into smaller loads.
• Did you place any paper, tissue, or
other similar material in the load?
Sometimes a person might forget to take a piece of paper or a tissue out of the
pocket of a pair of pants, and this paper, tissue, or similar material can cause
excess lint in a load of laundry. Confirm that the pockets of pants, shirts, and
other articles of clothing are empty before washing and drying.
5.Problem:There is static in my clothes after drying
Question
What to Do
Try using a fabric softener to reduce static electricity.
• Did you over dry the load of
laundry?
Over-drying a load of laundry can cause a build up of static electricity. Try
using a fabric softener or adjust your settings and use a shorter drying time.
• Are you drying synthetic, permanent
press and blends?
These materials can cause static to build up in a load of dried clothes. Try
using a fabric softener.
6.Problem:The drying time is not consistent
Question
• Are you using consistent heat
settings and consistent load sizes?
What to Do
The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type of
heat used (electric, natural or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the
wetness of the clothes and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filer.

7.Problem:It takes too long for my clothes to dry
Question
What to Do
• Did you properly sort your loads of
laundry?
Separate heavy weight items from light weight items when creating loads.
• Are you drying large loads of heavy
fabrics?
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.
• Are the dryer controls properly set?
Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.
• Is the lint filter clean before each
new load of laundry?
Please confirm that the lint filter is clean prior to each new load of laundry.
• Are the exhaust ducts clear and
properly configured?
Confirm through review of the appropriate sections of this manual that the exhaust
venting ductwork is properly configured. Confirm that the venting is free of
obstructions. Confirm that the outside wall dampers are moving freely, that the
dampers are not pushed in, and that nothing has been set against the dampers.
• Is the fuse blown, or is the circuit
breaker tripped?
Check your home’s or laundry room’s fuse box/circuit breaker box and replace the
fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• Did you overload your dryer?
Divide your larger load into a number of smaller loads.
• Did you under load your dryer?
If you are only drying a handful of items, add a few extra pieces to help ensure
proper tumbling action.
8.Problem:My clothes are wrinkled
Troubleshooting Guide
What to Do
• Are you over drying your laundry?
Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying
time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.
• Are you removing your laundry
from the dryer soon after the
drying cycle is complete?
Remove your laundry from the dryer after the drying cycle ends and either hang or
fold the items.
9.Problem:My clothes are shrinking
Question
• Are you following the care
instructions for your garment?
24
What to Do
To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the care and use 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.
