Lint on load
■
Is the lint screen clogged? Clean lint screen. Check for air
movement.
■
Is the load properly sorted? Sort lint givers (towels, chenille)
from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.
■
Is the load too big or too heavy? Dry smaller loads so lint
can be carried to the lint screen.
■
Was the load overdried? Use correct dryer settings for load
type. Overdrying can cause lint-attracting static electricity.
See “Dryer Cycle Descriptions” (separate sheet).
■
Was paper or tissue left in pockets?
■
Is pilling being mistaken for lint? Pilling (surface fuzz) is
caused by normal wear and laundering.
Stains on load or color change
■
Was dryer fabric softener properly used? Add dryer fabric
softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener
sheets added to a partially-dried load can stain your
garments.
■
Were items soiled when placed in the dryer? Items should
be clean before being dried.
■
Were items properly sorted? Sort light colors from dark
colors. Sort colorfast items from noncolorfast items.
Items shrinking
■
Was the dryer overloaded? Dry smaller loads that will tumble
freely.
■
Did the load overdry? Check the manufacturer’s care label.
Match dryer setting to load type.
Loads are wrinkled
■
Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?
■
Was the dryer overloaded? Dry smaller loads that can
tumble freely.
■
Did the load overdry? Check the manufacturer’s care label.
Match dryer setting to load type.
Odors
■
Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in
the area where your dryer is located? If so, ventilate the
area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash
and dry the clothing.
■
If the dryer is electric, is it being used for the first time?
The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor
will be gone after the first cycle.
Garment damage
■
Check the following:
Were zippers, snaps, and hooks left open?
Were strings and sashes tied to prevent tangling?
Were care label instructions followed?
Were items damaged before drying?
