Stains on load or drum
Was the dryer fabric softener properly used?
■
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle.
Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain
your garments.
Drum stains are caused by dyes in clothing (usually blue jeans).
This will not transfer to other clothing.
Loads are wrinkled
Was the load removed from dryer at the end of
■
the cycle?
Was the dryer overloaded?
■
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.
Odors
Have you recently been painting, staining, or
■
varnishing in the area where your dryer is located?
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone
from the area, rewash, and dry the clothing.
Is the electric dryer being used for the first time?
■
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the first cycle.
Load is too hot
Were laundry items removed from the dryer before the end
■
of the cycle?
Allow the Cool Down cycle to finish before removing laundry
from dryer. All cycles are cooled slowly to reduced wrinkling
and make it easier to handle. Items removed before Cool Down
may feel very warm.
10
Was a high temperature cycle used, or was a separate
■
temperature control set on high?
Select a lower temperature, and use an automatic drying cycle.
These cycles sense the temperature or the moisture level in the
load and shut off when the load reaches the selected dryness.
This reduces overdrying.
