Loads are wrinkled

 

Odors

Was the load removed from dryer at the end of the cycle?

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.”

Was the wash temperature too warm for the load being washed?

Use a lower wash temperature, especially for permanent press and delicate items.

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.

Is the dryer 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?
