Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Dryer shakes or
makes noise
Some shaking/noise is normal.
Dryer may be sitting unevenly.
Move dryer to an even floor space, or adjust leveling legs as necessary
until even.
Clothes take too
long to dry
Improper or obstructed ducting Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer venting is
correct.
Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed.
Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily.
Improper sorting Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a well-sorted
washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
Large loads of heavy fabrics
(like beach towels)
Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to dry.
Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed drying time.
Controls improperly set Match control settings to the load you are drying.
Lint filter is full Clean lint filter before every load.
Blown fuses or tripped circuit
breaker
Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most dryers use 2 fuses/
breakers, make sure both are operating.
Overloading/combining loads Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time.
Underloading If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items to ensure proper
tumbling.
eDry is enabled The eDry feature is designed to operate your dryer in the most
energy efficient mode, which is not always the fastest mode. In some
instances, dry times may be extended to reduce overall energy usage
for the cycle.
