• Lint filter not cleaned

properly.

in pockets.

• Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every

load. With some loads that produce high amounts

of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter

during the cycle.

• 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).

• See the

Excess static in clothes after drying

section below.

• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• Check pockets thoroughly before washing and

drying clothes.

Excess static in

clothes after drying

• Fabric softener not used or

used incorrectly.

• Clothes dried too long

(overdried).

• Drying synthetics, permanent

press, or synthetic blends.

• 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.

• These materials can cause static buildup. Try

using a fabric softener.
