Frequently Asked Questions - MLE41N1AWWC MIDEA

What to do if the dryer does not start?

First check that the child lock is not activated (blue indicator on). Make sure the door is properly closed and the power cord is plugged into a working outlet. Also check the circuit breaker or fuses (30 A).

How to clean the lint filter?

Gently remove the filter located in the lower part of the drum. Remove accumulated lint by hand, then reinsert it. For deep cleaning, wash it with soapy water, rinse and dry completely before putting it back.

Which programs to use for delicate clothes?

Use the Delicates program with low temperature and an appropriate drying level. This program is designed for delicate fabrics like lingerie or synthetics.

How to activate the child lock?

Press and hold the Dry Level and Temp buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. A blue indicator lights up. To deactivate, repeat the same operation.

Why is the dryer not heating?

Check that you have not selected the Air Fluff program (no heat) or a 'No Heat' temperature. Make sure the filter and exhaust duct are not blocked. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

What is the maximum length of the exhaust duct?

For a rigid metal duct 4 in (102 mm) in diameter, the maximum length is 90 ft (27.4 m) without elbows, reduced to 35 ft (10.7 m) with 3 90° elbows. Use only rigid or semi-rigid metal ducts.

How to save a favorite program (My Cycle)?

Select the desired program and options, then press the MY Cycle button for 3 seconds. The light flashes and a beep sounds 3 times. To recall this program, simply press MY Cycle.

What to do in case of error code E4 or E5?

Code E4 indicates a moisture sensor defect: the dryer completes the cycle but may over-dry. Code E5 indicates a temperature sensor defect: do not use the appliance and contact a qualified technician.

How to reverse the door opening direction?

Unplug the appliance. Remove the 4 hinge screws to remove the door. Swap the latch and covers between the right and left sides. Rotate the outer door panel 180° and reassemble. Screw the door back onto the hinges on the left side.

Why are clothes still damp at the end of the cycle?

This may be due to overloading (too much laundry), a blocked exhaust duct, a dirty lint filter, or a mix of heavy and light items. Separate loads, clean the filter and duct, and reduce load size.

Choosing a location

Important to installer

Read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer.

These instructions should be kept for future reference.

• The dryer is not suitable for installation in a mobile home.
• Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child being trapped and suffocating.
  After unplugging a discarded appliance, cut off the power cord.
• Provisions for introduction of outside air into the dryer room. The free area of any opening for the introduction of outside air shall not be less than twice the area of the dryer exhaust outlet.

Warning

Your dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed any place inside the house.

You should locate your dryer where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer and enough space behind for the exhaust system.

Your dryer is factory-ready for the rear exhaust option.

Make sure that the room you install your dryer in has enough fresh air and that there are no air-flow obstructions.

Do not install or store your dryer in an area where it will be exposed to water or weather. Keep the dryer area clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Your dryer produces combustible lint. Keep the area around the dryer lint-free.

Installing in an alcove, closet, or wall insert/recessed

Warning

• You must exhaust your dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed any place inside the house.
• Do NOT install another fuel-burning appliance in the same closet as your dryer.

For information about how to select and install exhaust ducts, see Exhausting requirements on page11T.

If you install your dryer in an alcove, closet, or wall insert/recessed, the front of the closet must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 sq.in. (465 sq.cm) with a minimum clearance of 3 in. (7.6 cm) at the top and bottom. A slatted door with equivalent space clearance is acceptable.

Minimum clearances between your dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are:

• Either side: 1 in. (2.5 cm)
  Rear: 5 in. (12.7 cm)
• Top: 24 in. (61 cm)
• Front: 2 in. (5.1 cm)

Exhausting requirements

Warning

Do not exhaust your dryer into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space in a building.

Your dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or closet.

Exhausting the dryer to the outside prevents large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the room.

Warning

NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT

If your existing duct work is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal.
- Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of the exhaust air heat and lint.

• Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fasteners that extend into the duct or that catch lint.
  The exhaust duct should be 4 in. (10.2cm) in diameter.
• The total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7.8 ft. (2.4 m).
• Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with your dryer by the manufacturer.
• In the U.S., make sure that the ducts comply with the outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Ducts, Subject 2158A.

See Ducting requirements on page11T for the maximum duct length and number of bends.

Ducting requirements

Warning

You are responsible for correctly installing the exhaust system.

• Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct. Do not use a smaller duct.
• Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased accumulation of lint.
• Lint should be removed regularly.
• If you must use a flexible metal duct, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct with a thin foil wall. A serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.
• Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.
• Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.
• Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.
• Plastic, flexible ducts can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect your dryer's operation.
• Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect dryer operations, and collect lint.
• The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood that has a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.
• The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.
• Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.
• To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well.
• Do not exhaust under a house or porch.
• If the exhaust duct must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.
• Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning.
• Check frequently to make sure that the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
• Check once per month, and clean at least once per year. Note: If your clothes are not getting dry, check the ducting for obstructions.
• Do not exhaust the dryer into a wall, ceiling, crawl space, or concealed space of a building, gas vent, or any other common duct or chimney. This could create a fire hazard from the lint expelled by the dryer.
• Do not use non-metallic flexible ducting.
  To reduce the risk of fire, your dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.

Step 3: Connect the exhaust ducting

Important

Before you connect the exhaust ducting, review ducting requirements in Ducting requirements on page11T.

Warning

Make sure that your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air easily.

• Keep ducts as straight as possible.

• DO NOT restrict your dryer with a poor exhaust system.

DO NOT use unnecessarily long ducts that have many elbows.

• DO NOT use plastic flexible exhaust material.

• Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) diameter rigid metal duct. Tape all joints, including at the dryer.

• DO NOT use sheet metal screws that can accumulate lint when assembling the ducting. Joints should be taped.
• DO NOT let the duct tape cover the ventilation slots on the back of your dryer.
• Clean all old ducts before installing your new dryer. Be sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. Inspect and clean the exhaust system annually.

• DO NOT use a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.
  DO NOT use dented or clogged ducts and vent.

1 Make sure that the exhaust hood flapper or louvers move freely.

If you do not have an exhaust hood installed, see Exhaust hood types on pageT13 for information about recommended hood types. We recommend that you have a professional install the exhaust hood.

2 Connect one end of the exhaust ducting to your dryer, then use duct tape to secure the ducting to your dryer. The crimped ends of the duct sections must point away from your dryer. Use a 4 in. (10.2 cm) diameter rigid metal duct.
3 Connect the other end of the ducting to the exhaust hood. Tape all joints, including at the dryer.

Step 4: Level your dryer

• If your dryer is not level, carefully tilt your dryer just enough to adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of your dryer. Extend the feet only as much as is necessary. If the feet are extended too much, your dryer may vibrate.

Step 5: Plug in your dryer

2 If you need to pause the cycle (for example to add or remove items or adjust the load), press the Start Pause button, then open the door. Your dryer stops tumbling. When you are ready to start drying again, close the door, then press the Start Pause

Note

During the initial use of your new electric dryer, you may notice an odor that has an oily or burning smell. This odor is considered normal and may be emitted as the natural oils deposited from human hands during product assembly or dust accumulated on various mechanical parts burns off during initial operation.

Unloading your dryer

1 When the drying cycle is over, your dryer beeps six times and the Clean Filter indicator lights.

2 Open the door and remove the items.

Note

You should clean the lint filter after every load to avoid lint buildup and to make sure that your dryer is running efficiently. See Cleaning the lint filter on pageT25

Setting the child lock

Your dryer has a child lock feature to prevent children from playing with your dryer. When you turn on the child lock, the only button that works is /Power.

• You can turn on your dryer, set this function, then turn it off.
• When you do so, even if the unit is powered on, you still cannot start it before the Child Lock function is deactivated.
• This function is cancelled automatically if your unit is out of power, such as when you unplug it or the power turns off.

1 Press and hold both the Dry Level and Temp. buttons for three seconds. The blue child lock light turns on.

My Cycle

2 To turn off the child lock, press and hold both the Dry Level and Temp. buttons for three seconds.

Cleaning the lint filter

Warning

Do not operate your dryer without the lint filter in place.

Note

• You should clean the lint filter after every load to shorten the drying time and to make sure that your dryer is running efficiently.
• If the lint is difficult to wipe away, you can gently wash the filter in mild, soapy water. Make sure that you rinse all the soap off the filter and that the filter is dry before you put it back into your dryer.

Gently pull the lint filter out of the slot at the bottom of the drum. Remove the accumulated lint, then insert the filter back into the slot.

Dryer options and settings

• Settings in bold are initial settings. The (dot) indicates optional functions you can select.

• For best results, follow the wet load size recommendations noted for each cycle.

• Small load: Fill the dryer drum with three to four items, not more than 1/4 full.
  Medium load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 1/2 full.
  Large load: Fill the dryer drum up to about 3/4 full. Do not overload. Items need to tumble freely.

Special laundry tips

ITEMSHDRYING GUIDE
Bedspreads and comforters	·Follow the care label instructions or dry using the Bulky cycle. ·Make sure that the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing. ·During the drying cycle, you may need to reposition the item to make sure that it is completely dried.
Blankets	·Use the Normal cycle and dry only one blanket at a time for best tumbling action. ·Make sure that the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing. ·During the drying cycle, you may need to reposition the item to make sure that it is completely dried.
Curtains and draperies	·Use the Casual cycle, Medium temperature setting, and Less dryness level to help minimize wrinkling. ·Dry these in small loads for best results and remove as soon as possible.
Cloth diapers	·Use the Normal cycle on the High temperature setting for soft fluffy diapers.
Down filled items (like jackets, sleeping bags, or comforters)	·Use the TNormal cycle. ·Add a couple of dry towels to absorb moisture and shorten drying time.
Foam rubber (like rug backs, stuffed toys, or shoulder pads,)	·DO NOT dry on a temperature setting. Use the Air Fluff cycle (no heat). WARNING: Drying a rubber item with heat may damage it or create a fire hazard.
Pillows	·Use the TNormal cycle. ·Add a couple of dry towels and a pair of clean sneakers to help the tumbling action and to fluff the item. DO NOT dry kapok or foam pillows in the dryer.

Caution

Items NOT to dry:
- Fiberglass items (curtains, draperies, etc.)
- Woolens, unless recommended on the label.
- Items spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oils.

Maintaining your dryer

Cleaning the exterior

• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Protect the surface from sharp objects.
• Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the dryer. Keep them in a separate storage area. These items may scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.
• Because the entire dryer has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be scratched or damaged. Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the dryer.

Cleaning the drum

• Clean with a damp cloth dampened with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel and anodized surfaces.
• Remove the cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.

Cleaning the control panel

• Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel. The control panel finish may be damaged by some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain remover products. Apply such products away from your dryer and wipe up any spills or over-spray immediately.

Cleaning and inspecting the exhaust system

Inspect and clean the exhaust yearly to maintain optimum performance.

1 Disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer and from the exhaust hood (at the exhaust outlet) outside of the building.
2 Check the interior of the duct and remove any lint accumulation.
3 Make sure that lint is removed from the exhaust hood. Lint may collect in the exhaust hood so that the flappers or louvers will not open or close completely.
4 After cleaning the exhaust hood, check that the flapper or louvers move freely.
5 Reassemble the exhaust duct and hood, making sure that the joints are secure and sealed.
6 Operate your dryer and make sure that the exhaust air is not obstructed in the vent and that there are no leaks in the system.

Warning

Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service Personnel - Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: Control Board and Temperature - Regulating Thermistor (Located on Blower Housing).

Note

Check and clean the outside exhaust hood frequently to ensure a proper air flow.

Troubleshooting

Caution

Do not try to repair your dryer yourself. Doing so invalidates the warranty.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
Dryer does not start.	·Confirm that the Child Lock is not on. ·Make sure the dryer door is closed completely. ·If you opened the door during the drying cycle, press the Start/Pause button again. ·Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a working electrical outlet. ·Check the circuit breaker and fuses for your dryer's electrical connection.
Dryer does not heat or does not dry.	·Your dryer may have moved into the cool-down process of the cycle. This is normal. ·Select a cycle other than Air Fluff and a temperature setting that is not "no heat." ·Do not overload your dryer. Depending on the size of your washer, one wash load should equal one dry load. ·Dry heavy items and lightweight items separately. ·If you are drying large, bulky items, like blankets or comforters, try repositioning the load to ensure even drying. ·The load may be too small to tumble correctly. Add a few towels. ·Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct. ·Check the circuit breaker and fuses for your dryer's electrical connection. ·Make sure that the outside exhaust hood opens and closes freely. ·Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually. ·Make sure that your exhaust duct is a 4" rigid metal duct.
Dryer is noisy.	·It is normal for your dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and exhaust system. ·Check the load for objects, like coins, loose buttons, nails, or broken zippers. Remove these items. ·Make sure that your dryer is level.
Clothes are unevenly dried.	·Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the More Dry or Very Dry dry level if desired. ·If you dry one heavy item with a lightweight load (such as one towel with sheets), the heavy item may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. For best drying results, dry heavy items and lightweight items separately.
Dryer shuts off before clothes are dried.	·The dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart the cycle. ·The dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the cycle.
Dryer has an odour	·Your dryer draws air from the surrounding room air. Household odours from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, and so forth, may enter your dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal. When these odours linger in the air, ventilate the room completely before using your dryer.
Odour remains in clothing even after washing.	Fabrics containing strong odours should be rewashed utilizing desired wash cycle.
Clothing is still wrinkled after using the Wrinkle Care setting.	Small loads of one to four items work best. If the dryer load is too large, items cannot tumble freely. Try loading fewer items. Make sure that the items in the dryer load are similar. The Wrinkle Care setting works best when the items in the dryer load are similar-type items.
There is lint on the clothing.	Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes. Things like paper or tissue can break up into small pieces that turn into lint. Clean the lintfilter before every cycle. Some loads that produce high amounts of lint can clog the filter. Some fabrics are lint producers (like a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (like a pair of black linen pants). Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.

Understanding the error codes

Your dryer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage.

ERROR CODE	POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTIONS
C9 The PCB failed. Contact authorized service		personnel for help. DO NOT use your dryer.
E4 The humidity sensor failed. Your dryer will complete the current operating cycle but items could be over dried. Your dryer can still operate under the Time cycles. Contact authorized service personnel for help.
