T roubleshooting Guide 4. Problem: There is lint on my clothes F Question Is your lint filter full? What to Do Please refer to the manual section on cleaning the lint filter, and please confirm that the lint filter is clean. It is important that the lint filter is clean before each new load of laundry. Did you properly sort your load of laundry? In order to reduce the amount of lint in a load of laundry, sort lint producers (like a fuzzy white cotton towel) separately from clothes that might catch lint (such as a pair of black linen pants). Do your clothes have excess static electricity? See comments below under item 5, There is static in my clothes after drying. Did you overload your dryer? Divide your larger load into smaller loads. Did you place any paper, tissue, or other similar material in the load? Sometimes a person might forget to take a piece of paper or a tissue out of the pocket of a pair of pants, and this paper, tissue, or similar material can cause excess lint in a load of laundry. Confirm that the pockets of pants, shirts, and other articles of clothing are empty before washing and drying. 5. Problem: There is static in my clothes after drying Question Did you use fabric softener? What to Do Try using a fabric softener to reduce static electricity. Did you over dry the load of laundry? Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a build up of static electricity. Try using a fabric softener or adjust your settings and use a shorter drying time. Are you drying synthetic, permanent press and blends? These materials can cause static to build up in a load of dried clothes. Try using a fabric softener. 6. Problem: The drying time is not consistent Question Are you using consistent heat settings and consistent load sizes? What to Do The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the lint filter.
