4.Problem:There is Lint on my Clothes
Question
• Is your lint filter full?
• Did you properly sort your load of
laundry?
• Do your clothes have excess static
electricity?
• Did you overload your dryer?
• Did you place any paper, tissue, or
other similar material in the load?
5.Problem:There is static in my clothes after drying
Question
• Did you use fabric softener?
• Did you over dry the load of
laundry?
• Are you drying synthetic, permanent
press and blends?
6.Problem:The drying time is not consistent
Question
• Are you using consistent heat
settings and consistent load sizes?
Please refer to the manual section on cleaning the lint filter, and please confirm that the
lint filter is clean. It is important that the lint filter is clean before each new load of
laundry.
In order to reduce the amount of lint in a load of laundry, sort lint producers (like a
fuzzy white cotton towel) separately from clothes that might catch lint (such as a pair
of black linen pants).
See comments below under There is static in my clothes after drying.
Divide your larger load into smaller loads.
Sometimes a person might forget to take a piece of paper or a tissue out of the pocket
of a pair of pants, and this paper, tissue, or similar material can cause excess lint in a
load of laundry. Confirm that the pockets of pants, shirts, and other articles of clothing
are empty before washing and drying.
Try using a fabric softener to reduce static electricity.
Over-drying a load of laundry can cause a build up of static electricity. Try
using a fabric softener or adjust your settings and use a shorter drying time.
These materials can cause static to build up in a load of dried clothes. Try
using a fabric softener.
The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type of heat
used (electric, natural or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness
of the clothes and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filer.
