FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

When I press a button, why does my dryer beep and then nothing happens?

A:

The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn off Control Lock, turn on the product, then press and hold the lock icon on the display for 3 seconds.

Q:

Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?

A:

Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers. A lint filter which is full of lint or clogged with fabric softener sheet residue can reduce the airflow to the point that the time required to dry clothing will be greatly increased.

Q:

Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes?

A:

This is how the Wrinkle Care feature works. The dryer runs briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours after the cycle finishes. This feature is designed to help prevent wrinkles from setting in when the dryer is not unloaded immediately after the cycle is finished.

Q:

Why does my dryer show 3 minutes when I select the SteamFresh cycle?

A:

When the SteamFresh cycle is selected, the dryer displays the recommended number of garments for the cycle, not the estimated cycle time, until the cycle is started.
