Check if the dryer is set to the correct heat setting. Also, ensure that the lint filter is clean and that the venting ducts are not obstructed. If the problem persists, the heating element or thermal fuse may need to be inspected or replaced.
Unusual noises can be due to foreign objects in the drum or a worn-out drum roller. Inspect the drum for any items that may have been left in pockets and check the drum rollers for wear.
To clean the lint filter, open the dryer door, pull the filter upwards to remove it, and clean off any lint. Rinse with water if necessary, dry it thoroughly, and then replace it back into the dryer.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the lint filter after each use, inspecting the vent ducts for obstructions monthly, and wiping down the dryer's exterior surfaces. It's also advisable to check the drum seal and door gasket periodically.
Ensure that the dryer is not overloaded, clean the lint filter before each use, and verify that the exhaust ducts are not blocked. Using the correct drying cycle for the type of fabric can also improve efficiency.
Error codes indicate specific issues with the dryer. Refer to the user manual for the meaning of specific error codes and follow the troubleshooting steps provided. If the issue persists, contact a professional technician.
No, a burning smell is not normal and could indicate lint build-up near the heating element or a malfunction. Turn off the dryer immediately and inspect for lint accumulation. If the smell persists, consult a professional technician.
Load clothes loosely and avoid overloading the drum. Mixing larger and smaller items can help improve air circulation and drying performance. Distribute the load evenly to prevent imbalance.
