Lint on clothes

Lint filter not cleaned properly.

Remove the lint from the filter before every load.

 

 

 

 

 

With the lint removed, hold the filter up to a light

 

 

 

 

 

to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty,

 

 

 

 

 

follow the cleaning instructions in the Care and

 

 

 

 

 

Cleaning Section. With some loads that produce

 

 

 

 

 

high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean

 

 

 

 

 

the filter during the cycle.

 

 

 

Laundry not sorted properly.

Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white

 

 

 

 

 

cotton towel) and should be dried separately from

 

 

 

 

 

clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black

 

 

 

 

 

linen pants).

 

 

 

Excess static in clothes.

Use a fabric softener 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 AUTO DRY cycles.

 

 

 

Dryer is overloaded.

Divide extra large loads into smaller loads for drying.

 

 

 

Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.

Check pockets thoroughly before washing and

 

 

 

 

 

drying clothes.
