Problem
Excess static in clothes
after drying
Clothes have damp spots
after a Sensor Dry cycle.
Possible Cause
Fabric softener is not used or
used incorrectly.
Clothes dried too long
(overdried).
Drying synthetics, permanent
press, or synthetic blends.
Very large load or very small
load.Single large item such as
a blanket or comforter.
Solutions
• Use a fabric softener or the STATIC SHIELD
option, if equipped, to reduce static electricity. Be
sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup
of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a
shorter drying time, or use AUTO DRY cycles.
Select a LESS DRY setting on Sensor Dry cycles,
if necessary.
• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static
buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use LESS
DRY and/or shorter TIME DRY time settings.
• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the
sensor may have trouble reading the dryness
level of the load. Use a Time Dry cycle for very
small loads.
• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters
can sometimes wrap themselves into a tight
ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and
register on the sensors, while the inner core
remains damp. When drying a single bulky item,
it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and
rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any
damp areas.
• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very
large load or a few damp spots on a large item
after a sensor cycle has completed, empty the lint
trap, then set a Time Dry cycle to finish drying the
item(s).
