Problem
Possible Cause
Solutions
Greasy or dirty
spots on clothes
Fabric softener used
incorrectly.
•
Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your
fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are
being dried together.
•
Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty
clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or
later loads.
Clothes were not properly
cleaned or rinsed before being
placed in the dryer.
•
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.
Clothes are
wrinkled
Clothes dried too long (over
dried).
•
Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled
clothes. Try a shorter drying time or Menos Seco(Less
Dry) setting and remove items while they still retain a
slight amount of moisture.
Clothes left in dryer too long
after cycle ends.
•
Use the Anti Arrugas(Wrinkle Care) option. This feature
will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes for up
to 3 hours to help prevent wrinkling.
Clothes are
shrinking
Garment care instructions are
not being followed.
•
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.
Lint on clothes
Lint filter not cleaned properly.
•
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.
Laundry not 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).
Excess static in clothes.
•
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 DE SECADO(SENSOR DRY) cycles.
Dryer is overloaded.
•
Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.
Tissue, paper, etc., left in
pockets.
•
Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying
clothes.
