Troubleshooting guide
Question
• Is your lint filter full?
• Did you properly sort your load of
laundry?
• Do your clothes have excess static
electricity?
• Did you overload your dryer?
• Did you place any paper, tissue, or
other similar material in the load?
What to Do
Please refer to the manual section on cleaning the lint filter, and
please confirm that the lint filter is clean. It is important that the lint
filter is clean before each new load of laundry.
In order to reduce the amount of lint in a load of laundry, sort lint
producers (like a fuzzy white cotton towel) separately from clothes
that might catch lint (such as a pair of black linen pants).
See comments below under. There Is Static In My Clothes After
Drying.
Divide your larger load into smaller loads.
Sometimes a person might forget to take a piece of paper or a tissue
out of a pocket, and this paper, tissue, or similar material can cause
excess lint in a load of laundry.
Confirm that the pockets of pants, shirts, and other articles of
clothing are empty before washing and drying.

load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes and the condition
of the exhaust ducts and lint filter.
