TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Then...
Overdrying 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.
Remove items from the dryer immediately at the end of the cycle.
Use the WRINKLE CARE option to tumble the clothes briefly at
intervals at the end of the cycle, for up to 3 hours.
Then...
To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care
instructions for your garment, because 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 and/or the RACK DRY option.
Then...
Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the
Installation Instructions for details.
Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. Dryer
can be used in this condition, but drying times will be longer
and energy consumption will be increased.
Then...
Turn off the dryer and call for service.
Then...
Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With
some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be
necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.
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).
Static can cause lint to cling to clothing. See Excess Static
in Clothes After Drying section on page 26.
Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
