Linting
Has the lint filter been cleaned and replaced correctly?
Was the dryer overloaded?
Have you separated lint-shedding garments (eg towels) from lint receiving garments (eg synthetics).
Have you checked your pockets for tissues or other items that could have been left in them?
Dry similar colors together (eg light items with light items, dark items with dark items).
Have you over-dried your load? Over-drying can cause lint-attracting static electricity. Try a lower
dryness setting or use an AUTOSENSING cycle instead of TIME DRY.
Were new items (eg towels, flannelette sheets) dried in your dryer recently?
Static problems
Have your clothes been over-dried? Select a lower dryness setting.
Have you used fabric softener? Place fabric softener sheets in the dryer.
Fabric damage
Has the load been over-dried? Select a lower dryness setting.
Is tumble drying recommended for the item? Check the care labels inside garments.
Did you follow the instructions on the care label of clothing for tumble drying correctly?
Were delicate items dried separately on the DELICATE cycle or the RACK DRY cycle?
Were there metal parts on the items? Were zips and other clasps done up?
Were items separated and dried on an appropriate cycle for the fabric type?
If using the RACK DRY cycle, did items fall off the rack?
Was an appropriate drying temperature and dryness level selected for the fabric type?
Did you monitor the dryness of clothes if dried on a TIME DRY cycle?
Did you remove the items before the end of cycle cool down? This may damage clothing if it is not
spread out and exposed to air to cool once removed from the dryer.
Dye transfer

run. If you do intend to leave them for long periods before drying, then separate the load and put
color run items aside.
