Lint on load
Is the lint screen clogged?
Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.
Check for proper detergent use in washer.
•
Stains on load or drum
Was dryer fabric softener properly used?
Add dryer fabric softener sheets at the
beginning of the cycle. Fabric softener
sheets added to a partially dried load can
stain garments.
Drum stains can be caused by dyes in
clothing (usually blue jeans). This will not
transfer to other clothing.
Black oily soot on the drum and clothes can
be caused by a dryer not set-up properly to
use LP gas.

Loads are wrinkled
Was the load removed from dryer at the
end of the cycle?
Allowing clothes to set too long in the dryer
after the cycle is complete may set wrinkles.
Was the dryer overloaded?
Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.
Check for proper cool down period at
cycle end.
Hot clothes left to sit will set wrinkles more
easily.

Odors
Was there painting, staining or
varnishing being done in the area where
the dryer is located?
If so, ventilate the area. When the odors or
fumes are gone from the area, rewash and
dry the clothing.
Is the dryer being used for the first time?
The new electric heating element may have
an odor. The odor will be gone after the first
cycle.
