TROUBLESHOOTING
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 Crease
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.
