To start a drying cycle, load your laundry into the drum, close the door, select the desired drying program using the control dial, and press the start button. Ensure that the dryer is plugged in and the door is securely closed.
If your dryer is not heating, check if the appliance is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the lint filter is clean and the vents are not clogged. If the problem persists, it may require a service technician to check the heating element or thermostat.
To clean the lint filter, open the dryer door and locate the lint filter inside the door or at the bottom of the opening. Remove the filter, clean off any lint, and rinse it under warm water if necessary. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling it in the dryer.
To prevent wrinkles, remove clothes promptly at the end of the drying cycle. Use the 'Wrinkle Care' or 'Anti-Crease' feature if available, and avoid overloading the dryer to ensure clothes have enough room to tumble freely.
Unusual noises may be caused by coins or other objects in the drum, an unbalanced load, or worn drum rollers or belts. Check the drum for foreign objects and redistribute the load. If noises persist, contact a service technician for further inspection.
It is recommended to clean the dryer vent at least once a year. However, if you use the dryer frequently, consider cleaning it every six months to prevent lint buildup and maintain optimal efficiency.
While it is possible to dry shoes in the dryer, it is not recommended as the heat can damage the materials or cause them to warp. Instead, air dry them or use a specific shoe drying rack accessory if available.
If the dryer stops mid-cycle, check if the door is securely closed and the power supply is uninterrupted. If the problem persists, it could be an issue with the thermal fuse or overheating. Consider contacting a service technician for a diagnosis.
It is not recommended to leave the dryer running unattended. Doing so poses a fire risk in case of a malfunction. Always ensure someone is present to monitor the dryer while it is in operation.
To reduce static cling, use a fabric softener sheet or dryer balls during the drying cycle. Removing clothes promptly at the end of the cycle and avoiding over-drying can also help minimize static.
