PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
WHAT TO DO
Dye transfer.
White/light and coloured
items not separated before
drying.
Remember to separate white/light
and coloured items before placing
them in the dryer.
Wet items left sitting in the
dryer for long periods of
time before drying.
Do not leave wet items sitting in
the dryer for long periods of time
before drying, if they may be prone
to colour run. If you do intend to
leave them for long periods before
drying, then separate the load and
put those items that may cause
colour run aside.
Tangling.
Loads not separated during
loading.
Try separating out larger items from
smaller items.
Items loaded into the dryer
incorrectly.
Load items individually into the
dryer. Do not place folded items in
the dryer.
Incorrect cycle selection.
Try using the ‘Easy Iron’ cycle to dry
shirts and the ‘Sheets’ cycle to dry
sheets. Refer to pages 15 and 18.
Load size too large.
Try drying smaller load sizes. Some
cycles have a lower maximum load
size. Refer to page 18.
Delicate items not dried on
‘Rack Dry’.
Dry pantyhose, bras, stockings and
any other delicate items prone to
tangling on the ‘Rack Dry’ cycle with
a ‘Low’ heat setting.
Sheets and duvet /doona
covers due to their size, are
prone to tangling.
Dry sheets and duvet/doona covers
separately from other laundry, apart
from towels. Ensure duvet/doona
covers are buttoned or fastened
closed before drying. Try adding a
knotted towel to sheets loads if you
are experiencing a lot of tangling.
