WASHER/DRYERSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be kiUed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING - ".isk ofFire"

- Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualified installer.

- Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer's instructions and local codes.

- Do not install a clothes dryer with flexible plastic venting materials, if fle×ible metal

(foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specific type identified by the appliance

manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Fle×ible venting materials are

known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct

clothes dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

- To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, follow all installation instructions.

- Save these instructions.

WARNING: For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize

the risk of fire or explosion, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

or any other appliance.

- WHAT TO DO iF YOU SMELL GAS:

= Do not try to light any appliance.

= Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

= Clear the room, building, or area of all occupants.

= Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's

instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or

the gas supplier.

WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell.

Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA.

For more information, contact your gas supplier.

If a gas leak is detected, follow the "What to do if you smell gas" instructions.

IM PORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer/dryer, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the washer/dryer.

[] Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer.

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a

chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

[] Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,

dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

[] Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water.

These substances give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

[] Do not allow children to play on or in the washer/dryer.

Close supervision of children is necessary when the

washer/dryer is used near children.

[] Before the washer/dryer is removed from service or

discarded, remove the doors to the washer/dryer

compartments.

[] Do not reach into the washer/dryer if the tub, agitator or

drum is moving.

[] Do not install or store the washer/dryer where it will be

exposed to the weather.

[] Do not tamper with controls.

[] Clean dryer lint screen before or after each load.

[] Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced

in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks

or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water

system has not been used for such a period, before using

the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let

the water flow from each for several minutes. This will

release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is

flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during

this time.

[] Do not repair or replace any part of the washer/dryer or

attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in

this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair

instructions that you understand and have the skills to

carry out.

[] Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static

unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric

softener or product.

[] Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or

similarly textured rubber-like materials.

[] Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent

surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint, dust,

and dirt.

[] The interior of the machine and dryer exhaust vent should

be cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.

[] See "Electrical Requirements" section of the Installation

Instructions booklet for grounding instructions.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Your dryer must be properly installed and vented to achieve

maximum drying efficiency and shorten drying times. Use the

minimum recommended installation clearances found in the

Installation Instructions. See the Installation Instructions for more

information.

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

If the dryer is not properly installed and vented, it will not be

covered under the warranty. Proper venting of your dryer is

important for satisfactory drying results. See the Installation

Instructions for more detail.

NOTE: Service calls caused by improper venting will be paid for

by the customer, whether it was a paid installation or self-

installed.

Do not use plastic vent or metal foil vent. Use 4" (102 mm)

metal or flexible metal vent. Do not kink or crush flexible metal

vent. It must be completely extended to allow adequate

exhaust air to flow. Check vent after installation. Refer to the

Installation Instructions for proper length requirements of vent.

2. Use a 4" (102 mm) exhaust hood.

3. Use the straightest path possible when routing the vent.

Good Better

Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or

other fastening devices that extend into the interior of the vent

to secure vent, which can catch lint.

Clean exhaust vent periodically, depending on use, but at

least every 2 years, or when installing your dryer in a new

location. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the

Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final

product check.

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened

with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on

it (including cooking oils).

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add

powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Drop a sorted load of

clothes loosely into your washer.

• Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and

small items. Items should move easily through the wash

water. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.

(OPTIONAL) Add liquid chlorine bleach.

Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Do not

use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Follow

manufacturer's directions for safe use. Use a cup with a

pouring spout to avoid spilling.

Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load. Add bleach to

the wash cycle so it can be removed in the rinse cycle. Pour

bleach around the agitator, not directly onto the load.

• Follow directions on the care labels. Do not use chlorine

bleach on wool, silk, spandex, acetates, or some flame-

retardant fabrics.

NOTE: Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it touches.

The damage appears as rips, holes, tears, or color loss and

may not show up until several washings later.

(OPTIONAL) Add liquid fabric softener.

NOTE: Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.

Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics. Always dilute fabric

softener with warm water. Too much fabric softener can make

some items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent. If this

happens, do not use it in every load, or use less of it in each

load.

Style 1: With liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some

models)

Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour

measured liquid fabric softener into the dispenser.

Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion

of the cycle. Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the

dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the

crossbar inthe dispenser opening.

Style 2: Without liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some

models)

• In the final rinse ONLY, add fabric softener that has been

diluted with V2to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.

Close the washer lid. Washer will not agitate or spin with the

lid open.

Turn the WATER LEVEL selector to the correct setting for your

wash load and the type of fabric being washed. You may

change the load size or water level selection after the washer

has started filling by turning the selector to a different setting.

Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the

type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water

safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),

detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to

remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have

increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the

surface of garments).

Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to the

wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a

small load size setting. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start

the washer.

To stop or restart your washer:

• To stop the washer at any time, push in the Cycle

Control knob.

• Torestart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out the

Cycle Control knob.

Cleaning the exterior

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as

detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer

to keep it looking new.

Cleaning the interior

Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine

bleach and enough detergent to equal twice the manufacturer's

recommended amount for a normal wash load. Pour this mixture

into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot

water. Repeat this process if necessary.

NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners

labeled as washer safe.

Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some

models):

1. Remove dispenser by grasping top with both hands and

squeezing, while pushing upward with thumbs.

2. Rinse dispenser under a warm water faucet, then replace it.

NOTE: Ifyour model has a liquid fabric softener dispenser, do not

wash clothes with this dispenser removed. Do not add detergent

or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquid fabric softener only.

This washer does not include water inlet hoses. Whirlpool

Corporation recommends use of Factory Specified Parts. A list of

factory specified hoses available for separate purchase are listed

on the first page of this user instructions. These hoses are

manufactured and tested to meet Whirlpool Corporation's

specifications.

Replace water inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of

hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace water inlet hoses if

bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your water inlet hoses, mark the date of

replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

,; eaxsT_}_Ssd_4}_e bc _e(£4_;

Glean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint

can increase drying time.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged,

blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and

damage to both the dryer and fabrics.

• If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check

the exhaust hood and remove the lint.

Every Load Cleaning

Style 1:

1. The lint screen is located inside the dryer on the back wall.

Pull out the lint screen and its cover.

2. Separate the cover and the screen by squeezing the screen

and pulling on the cover at the same time.

3. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash

screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

4. Put the lint screen and cover back together and push firmly

back into place.

Style 2:

1. The lint screen is located inside the dryer in the front door well.

Pull the lint screen straight up.

2. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash

screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

3. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

As Needed Cleaning

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the

lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your

clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely

dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off the screen.

Clean the lint screen (as outlined following) every 6 months, or

more frequently if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.

1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.

2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.

3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub

lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.

4. Rinse screen with hot water.

in dryer.

To clean dryer drum

1. Apply a nonflammable household cleaner to the stained area

of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until stain is removed.

2. Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3. Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue

jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer

interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not

stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to

avoid transfer of dye.

From Inside the Dryer Cabinet

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending

on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified person.

From Inside the Exhaust Vent

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending

TROUBLESHOOTINGWASHER

First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

to possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

In U.S.A. www.whirlpool.com/help - In Canada www.whirlpool.ca

Noisy, vibrating, off-balance

• Is the floor flexing, sagging, or not level? Flooring that

flexes or is uneven can contribute to noise and vibration of the

washer. A 3A"(19 mm) piece of plywood under the washer will

reduce the sounds. See the Installation Instructions.

• Is the washer/dryer level? The washer/dryer must be level.

See the Installation Instructions.

Is the load balanced? Evenly distribute the load inthe

washer basket and make sure the height of the load does not

exceed the top row of basket holes.

Did you completely remove the yellow shipping strap with

cotter pins? See the Installation Instructions.

Are the gears engaging after the drain and before spin, or

is the upper part of agitator clicking during wash? These

are normal washer noises.

Is the washer gurgling or humming? When the washer

drains, the pump will make a continuous humming with

periodic gurgling or surging sounds as the final amounts of

water are removed. This is normal.

• The washer basket moves while washing. This isnormal.

Leaking

• Are the fill hoses tight?

• Are the fill hose gaskets properly seated? Check both ends

of each hose. See the Installation Instructions.

Is the drain hose properly installed? The drain hose should

be secured to the drainpipe or laundry tub. See the Installation

Instructions.

Is the sink or drain clogged? Sink and drainpipe must be

able to carry away 17 gal. (64 L) of water per minute. If sink or

drainpipe is clogged or slow, water can back up out of

drainpipe or sink. Check household plumbing (laundry tubs,

faucets, drainpipe, water pipes) for leaks.

Is water splashing off the tub ring? Center the tub before

starting the washer.

Is water splashing off the load? Evenly distribute the load in

the washer basket and make sure the height of the load does

not exceed the top row of basket holes. The fill or spray rinses

can splash off the load.

Dispenser clogged (on some models)

Did you follow the manufacturer's directions when adding

fabric softener to the dispenser (on some models)?

Measure fabric softener and slowly pour into the dispenser.

Wipe up all spills. Dilute fabric softener in the fabric softener

dispenser.

Washer won't run, fill, rinse, or agitate; washer stops

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet?

Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Are you using an extension cord? Do not use an extension

cord.

Is the indicator on the Cycle Control knob properly lined

up with a cycle? Turn the Cycle Control knob to the right

slightly and pull to start.

Are the water inlet valve screens clogged? Turn off the

water and remove inlet hoses from the washer. Remove any

accumulated film or particles. Reinstall hoses, turn on water,

and check for leaks.

Are both the hot and cold water faucets turned on? Turn

on the water.

Is the water inlet hose kinked? Straighten the hoses.

Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer

appear to not fill completely? The top of the agitator is much

higher than the highest water level. This is normal and

necessary for clothes to move freely.

Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker

tripped? Replace the fuse, or reset the circuit breaker. If the

problem continues, call an electrician.

Is the washer in a normal pause in the cycle? The washer

pauses for about 2 minutes during certain cycles. Allow the

cycle to continue. Some cycles feature periods of agitation

and soak.

Is the washer overloaded? Wash smaller loads.

Is the lid open? The lid must be closed during operation.

Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.

Washer continues to fill or drain; cycle seems stuck

Is the top of drain hose lower than the control knobs on

washer? The top of the drain hose must be at least

39" (990 mm) above the floor. See the Installation Instructions.

Does the drain hose fit too tightly in the standpipe, or is it

taped to the standpipe? The drain hose should be loose yet

fit securely. Do not seal the drain hose with tape. The hose

needs an air gap. See the Installation Instructions.

Washer won't drain or spin; water remains in washer

Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose

more than 96" (2440 mm) above the floor? See the

Installation Instructions.

Is the lid open? The lid must be closed during operation.

Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.

Is there excessive sudsing? Always measure detergent.

Follow manufacturer's directions. If you have very soft water,

you might need to use less detergent.

Wash/Rinse temperature

Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses reversed? See

"Connect Inlet Hoses" in the Installation Instructions.

Are you washing many loads? As your frequency of loads

washed increases, the water temperature may decrease for

hot and warm temperatures. This is normal.

Load too wet

Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?

Select a cycle with a higher spin speed (if available).

Did you wash an extra-large load? A large unbalanced load

could result in a reduced spin speed and wet clothes at the

end of the cycle. Evenly distribute the load and make sure the

height of the load does not exceed the top row of basket

holes.

Residue or lint on load

Did you sort properly? Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from

lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.

Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be

balanced and not overloaded. Clothes should move freely.

Lint or powdered detergent can be trapped in the load if

overloaded. Wash smaller loads.

Did you select the correct water level? The water level

should be correct for the load size. The load should be under

water.

Did you use enough detergent? Follow manufacturer's

directions. Use enough detergent to hold the lint in the water.

Did you line dry your clothing? If so, you can expect some

lint on the clothing. The air movement and tumbling of a dryer

removes lint from the load.

Was paper or tissue left in the pockets?

Is your water colder than 60°F (15.6°0)? Wash water colder

than 60°F (15.6°C) may not completely dissolve the detergent.

Did you use the proper cycle time and agitation speed for

the load? Reducing wash time (duration) and agitation speed

are ways to reduce lint.

Load iswrinkled, twisted, or tangled

Did you unload the washer promptly? Unload the washer as

soon as it stops.

Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?

Use cycles with shorter wash times and low wash and spin

speeds (if available) to reduce wrinkling, tangling, and twisting.

Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be

balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely

during washing to reduce wrinkling, tangling, and twisting.

Was the wash water warm enough to relax wrinkles? If

safe for the load, use warm or hot wash water. Use cold rinse

water.

Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed? Check that the

hot and cold water hoses are connected to the right faucets. A

hot rinse followed by spin will cause wrinkling. See the

Installation Instructions.

• Did you wrap items around the agitator? Drop items loosely

into the washer. Do not wrap items around the agitator.

Stains, gray whites, dingy colors

Did you properly sort the load? Transfer of dye can occur

when mixing whites and colors in a load. Sort dark clothes

from whites and lights.

Was the wash temperature too low? Use hot or warm

washes if safe for the load. Make sure your hot water system

is adequate to provide a hot water wash.

Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard

water? Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or

hard water.

Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed? Check that the

hot and cold water hoses are connected to the right faucets.

See the Installation Instructions.

Did you follow the manufacturer's directions when adding

detergent and fabric softener? Measure detergent and

fabric softener. Use enough detergent to remove soil and hold

it in suspension. Dilute fabric softener and add to the rinse

portion of a cycle only. Do not drip fabric softener onto

clothes.

Is there above average iron (rust) in water? You may need

to install an iron filter.

Garments damaged

Were sharp items removed from pockets before washing?

Empty pockets, zip zippers, snap, or hook fasteners before

washing to avoid snagging and tearing of load.

Were strings and sashes tied to avoid tangling? Straps and

strings can easily become entangled in the load, causing

strain on seams and tearing.

Were items damaged before washing? Mend rips and

broken threads in seams before washing.

Did you overload the washer? The wash load must be

balanced and not overloaded. Loads should move freely

during washing.

Did you add chlorine bleach properly? Do not pour chlorine

bleach directly onto load. Wipe up bleach spills. Undiluted

bleach will damage fabrics. Do not place load items on top of

the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer

(on some models). Do not use more than the manufacturer's

recommended amount for a full load.

• Did you follow the manufacturer's care label instructions?

TROUBLESHOOTINGDRYER

First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

to possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

In U.S.A. www.whirlpool.com/help - In Canada www.whirlpool.ca.

Dryer will not run

Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker

tripped? There may be 2 fuses or circuit breakers for the

dryer. Check that both fuses are intact and tight, or that both

circuit breakers have not tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the

circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Is the correct power supply available? Electric dryers

require 240 volt power supply. Check with a qualified

electrician.

• Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse.

• Is the dryer door firmly closed?

• Was the PUSH TO START dryer button firmly pressed?

No heat

Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker

tripped? The drum may be turning, but you may not have

heat. Electric dryers use 2 fuses or circuit breakers. Replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If a problem continues,

call an electrician.

• For gas dryers, is the valve open on the supply line?

Unusualsounds

Has the dryer had a period of non-use? If the dryer hasn't

been used for a while, there may be a thumping sound during

the first few minutes of operation.

Is a coin, button, or paper clip caught between the drum

and front or rear of the dryer? Check the front and rear

edges of the drum for small objects. Clean out pockets before

laundering.

Is it a gas dryer? The gas valve clicking is a normal operating

sound.

Are the four legs installed, and is the dryer level front to

back and side to side? The dryer may vibrate if not properly

installed. See the Installation Instructions.

Is the clothing knotted, or balled up? When balled up, the

load will bounce, causing the dryer to vibrate. Separate the

load items and restart the dryer.

Timer does not noticeably advance

• Is the dryer set to Timed or Air Dry?

The timer moves slowly and continuously for the timed

setting.

• Is the dryer set to Automatic Drying?

The timer moves only when the clothing is mostly dry.

Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are too long,

or load is too hot

• Is the lint screen clogged with lint? Lint screen should be

cleaned before each load.

Fire Hazard

Use a heavy metal vent.

Do not use a plastic vent.

Do not use a metal foil vent.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death

or fire.

Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with

lint, restricting air movement? Run the dryer for

5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood

to check air movement. Ifyou do not feel air movement, clean

exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy

metal or flexible metal vent. See the Installation Instructions.

Are fabric softener sheets blocking the grille? Use only one

fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Is the exhaust vent the correct length? Check that the

exhaust vent is not too long or has too many turns. Long

venting will increase drying times. See the Installation

Instructions.

• Is the exhaust vent diameter the correct size? Use

4" (102 ram) diameter vent material.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from dryer.

Place dryer at least 18 inches (460 ram) above the floor

for a garage instaflation.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

• Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below

45°F (7°0)? Proper operation of dryer cycles requires

o o

temperatures above 45 F (7 C).

Loads are wrinkled

Is the dryer located in a closet? Closet doors must have

ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the door. A

minimum of 1" (25 mm) of airspace is recommended for the

front of the dryer, and, for most installations, the rear of the

dryer requires 5" (127 mm). See the Installation Instructions.

Has an air dry cycle been selected? Select the right cycle

for the types of garments being dried.

Is the load too large and heavy to dry quickly? Separate the

load to tumble freely.

Lint on load

• Is the lint screen clogged? Lint screen should be cleaned

before each load.

Stains on load or drum

Was dryer fabric softener properly used? Add dryer fabric

softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener

sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments.

Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue

jeans). This will not transfer to other clothing.

• Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?

• Was the dryer overloaded? Dry smaller loads that can

tumble freely.

Odors

Have you recently been painting, staining, or varnishing in

the area where your dryer is located? If so, ventilate the

area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash

and dry the clothing.

Is the electric dryer being used for the first time? The new

electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be

gone after the first cycle.
