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 the dryer on and press and hold the button that has Control Lock on or under it 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.
