Reason
Garment care instructions are not
being followed.
Lint filter has not been cleaned
properly.
Laundry has not been sorted properly.
Appliance is overloaded.
Tissue, paper, etc., has been left in
pockets.
Clothes have dried for too long
(overdried).
Drying synthetics, permanent press,
or synthetic blends.
The water container hose or the drain
hose is not connected correctly.
The door is closed while laundry or
foreign substance is caught in the
door.
Solution
To avoid shrinking your clothes, always
consult and follow fabric care instructions.
Some fabrics will naturally shrink when
washed. Other fabrics can be washed but
will shrink when dried in the appliance. Use
a low or no heat setting.
Remove the lint from the lint filter before
every cycle. With the lint removed, hold the
lint filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or
clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning
instructions. With some loads that produce
high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to
clean the lint filter during the cycle.
Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy
white cotton towel) and should be dried
separately from clothes that are lint trappers
(i.e., a pair of black linen pants).
Divide extra large loads into smaller loads
for drying.
Check pockets thoroughly before drying
clothes.
Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a
buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings
and use a shorter drying time, or use
Sensor Dry programmes.
These fabrics are naturally more prone to
static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or
use shorter Timed Drying time settings.
Connect the water container hose or the
drain hose correctly.
Check if laundry or foreign substance
is caught in the door before using the
appliance. If water leaks continuously,
contact the LG Electronics Customer
Information Centre.
