Problem Cause Solution
Synthetic-fiber laundry
items are statically
charged after drying.
Synthetics have a
tendency to static
discharges.
Using a fabric softener in
the last rinse cycle can
reduce static charge
when drying.
There has been a lint
buildup.
Drying releases fabric lint
formed primarily from
rubbing during wear but
also, in part, from
washing. The stress on
fabrics in the dryer is
minimal in relation to their
strength.
Lint released is captured
in the door lint filter and
can be easily removed
(see "Care and
Cleaning").
