Possible Causes
Drum not tumbling evenly due to worn rollers, Overloaded drum, Moisture sensor prematurely ending cycle
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing drum supports or sensors.
Steps to correct:
- Adjust load size: Do not overload the drum. Clothes need room to tumble freely.
- Use appropriate cycle: Select a cycle with adequate heat and dryness level for the fabric type.
- Inspect drum supports: Remove front panel and check drum support rollers and idler pulley. Replace if flat-spotted or seized.
- Clean moisture sensor: Clean the moisture sensor bars inside the drum to ensure accurate dryness detection.
Improved tumbling and accurate sensing will reduce wrinkles and uneven drying.
