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.
