• Make sure to use your dryer to dry only clean items,

removed during the washing process.
Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned
according to the instructions for your washer and
detergent.
• Turn off the dryer and call for service.
• 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.
• Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity correctly.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
• 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.
• Check the connection of power cord to tile terminal block.
Refer to pages in22-26 this manual.
• Tile drying time for a load will vary depending on tile heat
setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP
gas), tile size of tile load, tile type of fabrics, tile wetness
of the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust ducts and
lint filter.
