Many drying problems involve poor cleaning results, poor soil and stain removal, residues of lint and scum, and fabric 

damage. For satisfactory drying results, follow these suggestions provided by The Soap and Detergent Association.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSES

SOLUTIONS

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Greasy, oily 

stains

•  Fabric softener sheet.

•  Rub fabric softener stains with 

bar soap. Rinse and rewash.

•  Add a few bath towels to small loads 

for proper tumbling.

•  Some “silk-like” fabrics should be air 

dried.

•  Use proper drying temperature.

•  Place fabric softener sheet on top of 

load before starting the dryer.

Lint

• Overloading.

•  Overdrying causes static 

electricity.

•  Lint screen not clean when 

cycle began.

•  Lint is attached to “pills.”

•  Reduce load size and rewash 

using liquid fabric softener in 

the fi nal rinse.

•  Or, add a fabric softener sheet 

and tumble without heat.

•  Use lint brush or roller to 

remove lint.

•  Do not overload dryer.

•  Use fabric softener in washer or dryer 

to reduce static electricity.

•  Remove items when they are slightly 

damp to avoid overdrying.

•  Check that lint fi lter is clean and in 

place.

Pilling

(Fibers break 

off, ball up and 

cling to fabric.)

•  Overdrying.

•  Use a lint brush or shaver to 

remove pills.

•  Use fabric softener to lubricate fi bers. 

•  When ironing, use spray starch or 

fabric fi nish on collars and cuffs.

•  Turn items inside out to reduce 

abrasion.

Shrinking

•  Temperature too high.

• Overdrying.

•  Irreversible condition.

•  Follow fabric care label directions.

•  If shrinking is a concern, check load 

often.

•  Remove items while slightly damp and 

hang or lay fl at to complete drying.

•  Block knits into shape.

Wrinkling

• Overloading.

•  Leaving items in dryer after 

cycle ends.

•  Reduce load size and tumble at 

medium or low heat for 5-10 

minutes.

•  Remove items immediately. 

Hang or fold.

•  Do not overload dryer.

•  Remove items as soon as cycle ends.

Use the drying rack to dry items which should not be 

tumble dried. If your model did not come with a drying 

rack, you may order one.

1.  Open the dryer door and remove the lint screen.
2.  Insert drying rack into the dryer drum. Place the front 

bar under the lip of the lint screen opening.

3.  Place items to be dried on top of the rack. Weight 

should not exceed 10 lbs. Leave space between items, 

but do not let items hang over the sides or through 

the grids. Do not tumble other items when using the 

drying rack.

4.  Select a timed cycle. If items to be dried contain 

plastic, foam rubber, rubber-like materials, feathers or 

down, then only use the air dry temperature setting.

5.  When items are dry, remove the rack and replace the 

lint screen. If lint screen is not in place, tumbling items 

could enter the exhaust system and cause damage to 

the dryer.

Place the front bar 

under the lip of the lint 

screen opening.
