TROUBLESHOOTING
Greasy or dirty
spots are left on
clothes.
Fabric softener is used incorrectly.
• When washing clothes that are to be dried in the appliance,
use the correct amount of fabric softener as recommended
by the manufacturer of the fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are being dried together.
• Use the appliance to dry only clean items. Soil from dirty
clothes can transfer to the clean clothes in the same or later
loads.
Clothes were not properly cleaned or rinsed before being
placed in the appliance.
• Stains on dried clothes could be stains that were not
removed during the washing process. Make sure that
clothes are being completely cleaned or rinsed according to
the instructions for your washing machine and detergent.
Some difficult soils may require pre-treating prior to
washing.
Clothes are
wrinkled.
Clothes have dried too long (overdried).
• Over drying a load of clothes can lead to wrinkled clothes.
Try a shorter drying time.
Clothes have been left in the appliance for too long after
cycle ends.
• Use the
Anti Crease
option.
Clothes are
shrinking.
Garment care instructions are not being followed.
• To avoid shrinking your clothes, always consult and follow
fabric care instructions. Some fabrics will naturally shrink
when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink
when dried in the appliance. Use a low or no heat setting.
Lint is left on
clothes.
Lint filter has not been cleaned properly.
• Remove the lint from the lint filter after every cycle. With the
lint removed, hold the lint filter up to a light to see if it is dirty
or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions.
With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may
be necessary to clean the lint filter during the cycle.
Clothes have not been 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).
