A:
The hybrid drying system will save energy on any cycle that uses heat. However, the LowTemp Dry+ cycle is designed to use the
heat pump system as much as possible to recover heat from the air exhausted from the drum. This heat transfer cycle is both what

energy saved by using the heat pump system to transfer heat rather than create heat from scratch more than offsets the energy
spent to tumble the clothes.

A:
The signal is to alert you that the dryer door is not properly shut. Try opening the door and checking around the seal and latch
areas to make sure no clothing or other items are preventing the door from closing completely. Do not overfi ll the dryer drum. If
the load will not fi t easily into the drum, allowing you to close the door, remove a few items. Once you are sure the door and latch
areas are clear, close the door fi rmly and press the start button again.

A:
Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a tight ball of fabric while drying. The
outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the inner core remains damp. Wash and dry large, bulky items such as
heavy blankets or comforters as single items. When drying a single bulky item, pause the cycle periodically and rearrange the item
to unwrap and expose any damp areas. If drying a comforter, you may also throw in some clean tennis balls, or purchase dryer
balls to throw in with the load, to help keep wet fi lling from clumping.

A:
This may be caused by problems in the household ducting which are exposing the dryer to freezing temperatures and causing the
water in the sump to freeze. Make sure that the cap and flap which vent the duct to the outside of your home are not obstructed
or stuck open, allowing freezing air into the duct system. If the vent run to the outside is very short, this may also cause freezing.
Once the duct issues have been addressed, either allow the system to warm up overnight or run a Time Dry cycle or Air Dry cycle
until the ice in the sump melts.
