Clothes have been left in the appliance for too long after
cycle ends.

• 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.
Lint filter has not been cleaned properly.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter after 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.
Clothes have not been sorted properly.
• 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).
Appliance is overloaded.
• Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.
Tissue, paper, etc., has been left in pockets.
• Check pockets thoroughly before drying clothes.
Clothes have dried for too long (overdried).
• Overdrying a load of clothes can cause a buildup of static
electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or
use Sensor Dry programmes.
Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.
• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try
using fabric softener, or use shorter Timed Drying time
settings.
