POSSIBLE CAUSES

SOLUTIONS

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Greasy, oily 

stains

•  Fabric softener sheet.

•  Rub fabric softener stains with bar 

soap. Rinse and rewash.

•  Add a few bath towels to small loads 

for proper tumbling.

•  Some “silk-like” fabrics should be air 

dried.

•  Use proper drying temperature.

•  Place fabric softener sheet on top of 

load before starting the dryer.

Lint

• Overloading.

•  Overdrying causes static 

electricity.

•  Lint screen not clean when 

cycle began.

•  Lint “pills” clinging to fabric

•  Reduce load size and rewash 

using liquid fabric softener in the 

fi

 nal rinse.

•  Or, add a fabric softener sheet 

and tumble without heat.

•  Use lint brush or roller to remove 

lint.

•  Do not overload dryer.

•  Use fabric softener in washer or dryer 

to reduce static electricity.

•  Remove items when they are slightly 

damp to avoid overdrying.

•  Check that lint 

fi

 lter is clean and in 

place.

Pilling

(Fibers break 

o

 , ball up and 

cling to fabric.)

•  Overdrying.

•  Use a lint brush or shaver to re-

move lint pills.

•  Use fabric softener to lubricate 

fi

 bers. 

•  When ironing, use spray starch or fabric 

fi

 nish on collars and cu

 s.

•  Turn items inside out to reduce abrasion.

Shrinking

•  Temperature too high.

• Overdrying.

•  Irreversible condition.

•  Follow fabric care label directions.

•  If shrinking is a concern, check load 

often.

•  Remove items while slightly damp and 

hang or lay 

fl

 at to complete drying.

•  Block knits into shape.

Wrinkling

• Overloading.

•  Leaving items in dryer after 

cycle ends.

•  Reduce load size and tumble 

at medium or low heat for 5-10 

minutes.

•  Remove items immediately. Hang 

or fold.

•  Do not overload dryer.

•  Remove items as soon as cycle ends.
