Dryer is overloaded.
Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.
Fabric softener is not used or used
incorrectly.
Clothes dried too long (over dried).
Drying synthetics, permanent press, or
synthetic blends.
Remove the tint from the filter before every load.
With the tint removed, hold the filter up to a light
to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty,
follow the cleaning instructions on page 26. 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.
Over drying a toad of laundry can cause a
buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use
a shorter drying time, or use AUTO DRY cycles.
Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.
Check pockets thoroughly before washing and
drying clothes.
Use a fabric softener or the STATIC SHIELD
option, if equipped, to reduce static electricity. Be
sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Over drying a toad 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 AUTO DRY cycles, if
necessary.
These fabrics are naturally more prone to static
buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use LESS DRY
and/or shorter TIMED DRY time settings.
