55 TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible Cause Solutions
Lint on clothes
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 SENSOR 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.
Excess static in clothes
after drying
Fabric softener is not used or
used incorrectly.
Use a fabric softener or the STATIC
SHIELD option, if equipped, to reduce
static electricity. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Clothes dried too long
(overdried).
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. Select a LESS
DRY setting on SENSOR DRY cycles, if
necessary.
Drying synthetics, permanent
press, or synthetic blends.
These fabrics are naturally more prone to
static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or
use LESS DRY and/or shorter TIME DRY
time settings.
Clothes have damp
spots after a SENSOR
DRY cycle.
Very large load or very small load.
Single large item such as a
blanket or comforter.
If items are too tightly packed or too
sparse the sensor may have trouble
reading the dryness level of the load. Use
a Time Dry cycle for very small loads.
Large, bulky items such as blankets
or comforters can sometimes wrap
themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The
outside layers will dry and register on the
sensors, while the inner core remains
damp. When drying a single bulky item, it
may help to pause the cycle once or twice
and rearrange the item to unwrap and
expose any damp areas.
To dry a few remaining damp items from
a very large load or a few damp spots
on a large item after a sensor cycle has
completed, empty the lint trap, then set a
Time Dry cycle to finish drying the item(s).
