54 Troubleshooting Performance Problem Greasy or dirty spots on clothes Possible Cause Fabric softener used incorrectly. Solutions Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener. Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together. Use your dryer 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 dryer. 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 washer and detergent. Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to washing. Clothes are wrinkled Clothes dried too long (over dried). Over drying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time or LESS DRY setting and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture. Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends. Use the WRINKLE CARE option. This feature will tumble the clothes briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours to help prevent wrinkling. Clothes are shrinking Lint on clothes 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 a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting. Lint filter not cleaned properly. Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the 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 filter during the cycle. Laundry not 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).
