Changing the Auto Ciclo (Auto Cycle) Settings to Increase Drying Time

If all your loads on all Auto Ciclos (Auto Cycles) are consistently not as dry as you would like, you may change the default settings

to increase the default dryness level.

Your Auto Ciclo (Auto Cycle) drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions, or personal

preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your Auto Ciclos (Auto cycles), not just the current cycle/load. There are

3 drying settings, which are displayed using the “Status” lights (Mojado [Wet], Húmedo [Damp], Enfriamiento [Cool Down])

1 Factory preset dryness level.

2 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.

3 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.

To change the drying settings:

NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer is running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode

(the Encendido [Power] button is off) to adjust the default settings.

1. Before starting a cycle, press and hold the TEMPERATURA (Temperature) button for 6 seconds.

2. Press the TEMPERATURA (Temperature) button to select the dryness level shown in the LED display:

Mojado (Wet) light on = level 1, Mojado (Wet) and Húmedo (Damp) lights on = level 2, and Mojado (Wet), Humedo (Damp),

and Enfriamiento (Cool Down) lights on = level 3.

3. Press INICIO/PAUSA (Start/Pause) to save the new dryness level setting.

Possible Causes

Solution

TROUBLESHOOTING

Clothes are not drying

satisfactorily, drying

times are too long, or

load is too hot

Lint screen clogged with lint. Lint screen should be cleaned before each load.

The Sólo aire (Air only) cycle

has been selected.

Select the right cycle for the types of garments being dried. See “Cycle

Guide”.

Load too large and heavy

to dry quickly.

Separate the load to tumble freely.

Exhaust vent or outside exhaust

hood is 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. If you do not feel air movement,

clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust vent with heavy metal

or exible metal vent. See the Installation Instructions.

Exhaust vent diameter is not

the correct size.

Use 4" (102mm) diameter vent material.

Dryer located in a room with

temperature below 45ºF (7ºC).

Proper operation of dryer cycles requires temperatures above 45ºF (7ºC).

Dryer located in a closet.

Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and bottom of the

door. The front of the dryer requires a minimum of 1" (25mm) of airspace,

and, for most installations, the rear of the dryer requires 5" (127mm). See

the Installation Instructions.

Exhaust vent is not 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.

Fabric softener sheets blocking

the grille.

Use only one fabric softener sheet, and use it only once.

Dryer will not run

Door not closed completely.

Make sure the dryer door is closed completely.

Inicio/Pausa (Start/Pause) button

not pressed rmly or long enough.

Press and HOLD the INICIO/PAUSA (Start/Pause) button until you hear

the dryer drum moving.

Household fuse is blown

or circuit breaker has tripped.

Electric dryers use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers. The drum may

be turning, but you may not have heat. Replace the fuse or reset the

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

Incorrect power supply.

Electric dryers require 240-volt power supply. Check with a qualied

electrician.

Wrong type of fuse.

Make sure you have right fuse.
