Lint on load

Is 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.

static electricity.

Pilling (surface fuzz) is caused by normal wear and
laundering.

Fabric softener sheets added to a partially-dried load can
stain your garments.

noncolorfast items.

■
Was dryer overloaded?

will be gone after the first cycle.

:
Turn off the gas supply line, leave your house and then call
your local gas company.

the area where your dryer is located?
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone

:
Were zippers, snaps, and hooks left open?
Were strings and sashes tied to prevent tangling?
