1. Other factors contributing to long dry times, or clothes condition: load size, large bulky items, ambient
temperature, room size (if not exhausted outdoor), washer spin speed, washer rinse temperature, gas
supply (restrictions), and gas pressure.
2. Small loads (less then 3 lbs.) if not treated with destaticizer, could develop a static charge if over dried and
cling to drum surface (no tumble), causing wrinkles, shrinkage, or melting. Use a fabric softener (washer
or dryer), or add 2 large bath towels to act as a buffer when drying.
