Possible Cause Solutions
• Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your
fabric softener.
• Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty
clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or
later loads.
• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not
removed during the washing process. Make sure
that clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed
according to the instructions for your washer and
detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating
prior to washing.
• Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled
clothes. Try a shorter drying time or LESS DRY setting
and remove items while they still retain a slight amount
of moisture.
• Use the WRINKLE CARE option. This feature will
tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes for up to 3
hours to help prevent wrinkling.
• 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 a dryer. Use a low
or no heat setting.
• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With
the lint removed, hold the 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 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).
• Use a fabric softener 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
SENSOR DRY cycles.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.
• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying
clothes.
