Greasy or dirty spots are left on clothes.
Fabric softener is used incorrectly.
When washing clothes that are to be dried in the appliance, use the correct amount of fabric softener as recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.
Use the appliance 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 appliance.
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 washing machine and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing.
Clothes are wrinkled.
Clothes have dried too long (overdried).
Over drying a load of clothes can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time.
Clothes have been left in the appliance for too long after cycle ends.
Use the Anti Arrugas (Wrinkle Care) option.
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.
Clothes have 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 clothes can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use Sensor Dry programmes.
Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.
These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. 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 filter, then set a Timed Drying programme to finish drying the item(s).
