Lint on load

■Is the lint screen clogged?

Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

■Is the load properly sorted?

Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.

■Is the load too big or too heavy?

Dry smaller loads so lint can be carried to the lint screen.

■Was the load overdried?

Use correct dryer settings for load type. Overdrying can cause lint-attracting static electricity. See “Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips.”

■Was paper or tissue left in pockets?

■Is pilling being mistaken for lint?

Pilling (surface fuzz) is caused by normal wear and laundering.

Stains on load or color change

■Was dryer fabric softener properly used?

Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener sheets added to a partially dried load can stain your garments.

■Were items soiled when placed in the dryer? Items should be clean before being dried.

■Were items properly sorted?

Sort light colors from dark colors. Sort colorfast items from noncolorfast items.

Items shrinking

■Was the dryer overloaded?

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.

■Did the load overdry?

Check the manufacturer’s care label. Match dryer setting to load type. See “Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips.”

Loads are wrinkled

■Was the load removed from the dryer at end of the cycle? Remove load as soon as tumbling stops.

■Was the dryer overloaded?

Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.

■Did the load overdry?

Check the manufacturer’s care label. Match dryer setting to load type. See “Drying, Cycle, and Temperature Tips.”

Odors

■Have you recently been painting, staining or varnishing in the area where your dryer is located?

If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or fumes are gone from the area, rewash and dry the clothing.

■If the dryer is electric, is it being used for the first time? The new electric heating element may have an odor. The odor will be gone after the first cycle.

Garment damage

■Check the following:

Were zippers, snaps, and hooks left open?

Were strings and sashes tied to prevent tangling? Were care label instructions followed?

Were items damaged before drying?
