Overloading
Some fabrics will naturally
shrink when washed. Oth-
ers can be safely washed,
but will shrink in the dryer
Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a well-
sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to dry.
Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed drying
time.
Match control settings to the load you are drying.
Clean lint filter before every load.
Check installation instructions for proper ducting/venting.
Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed.
Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily.
Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer venting is
correct.
Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most dryers
use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating.
Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time.
If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items
to ensure proper tumbling.
Select a shorter drying time.
Remove items while they still hold a slight amount of
moisture. Select a LESS DRY or DAMP DRY setting.
Remove items when cycle ends and fold or hang immediately.
Separate large loads into smaller ones.
To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care labels exactly.
Some items may be pressed back into shape after drying
If you are concerned about shrinkage in a particular
item, do not machine wash or tumble dry it.
