Problem
Excess static in clothes
after drying
Clothes have damp
spots after a Sensor de
Secado (Sensor Dry)
cycle.
Possible Cause
Fabric softener is not used or
used incorrectly.
Clothes dried too long
(overdried).
Drying synthetics, permanent
press, or synthetic blends.
Very large load or very small load.
Single large item such as a
blanket or comforter.
Solutions
Use a fabric softener or the Reducir
Estática(Reduce Static) option, if
equipped, to reduce static electricity.
Be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a
buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings
and use a shorter drying time, or use
Secado Manual (Manual Dry) cycles. Select
a LESS DRY setting on Sensor de Secado
(Sensor Dry) cycles, if necessary.
These fabrics are naturally more prone to
static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or
use LESS DRY and/or shorter Tiempo de
Secado (Time Dry) time settings.
If items are too tightly packed or too sparse
the sensor may have trouble reading the
dryness level of the load. Use a Time Dry
cycle for very small loads.
Large, bulky items such as blankets or
comforters can sometimes wrap themselves
into a tight ball of fabric. The outside layers
will dry and register on the sensors, while
the inner core remains damp. When drying
a single bulky item, it may help to pause the
cycle once or twice and rearrange the item
to unwrap and expose any damp areas.
To dry a few remaining damp items from
a very large load or a few damp spots
on a large item after a sensor cycle has
completed, empty the lint trap, then set
a Tiempo de Secado (Time Dry) cycle to
finish drying the item(s).
