Symptoms Possible Cause & Solution
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 the appliance. Use a low or no
heat setting.
Lint is left on clothes. 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.
Laundry has 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.
Excess static in
clothes after drying.
Clothes have dried for too long (overdried).
• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a build-up of static electricity.
Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use Sensor Dry
programmes.
Drying synthetics, non-Iron, or synthetic blends.
• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static build up. Try using fabric
softener, or use shorter Timed Drying time settings.
Clothes have damp
spots after a Sensor
Dry programme.
Very large load or very small load. Single large item such as a blanket or
comforter.
• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble
reading the dryness level of the load. Use a Timed Drying programme for
very small loads.
• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap
themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and
register on the sensors, while the inner core remains damp. When drying
a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and
rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.
• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp
spots on a large item after a Sensor Dry programme has completed,
empty the lint trap, then set a Timed Drying programme to finish drying
the item(s).
