TROUBLESHOOTING
Solutions
Confirm and follow the instructions
provided with your fabric softener.
Use your dryer to dry only clean items.
Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the
clean clothes in the same or later loads.
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 washer and
detergent. Some difficult soils may require
pre-treating prior to washing.
Over drying a load of laundry can lead to
wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time
or LESS DRY setting and remove items
while they still retain a slight amount of
moisture.
Use the Anti Arrugas(Wrinkle Care)
option. This feature will tumble the clothes
briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours
to help prevent wrinkling.
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 a dryer. Use a
low or no heat setting.
Remove the lint from the filter before
every load. With the lint removed, hold
the 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 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).
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 de
Secado (Sensor Dry) cycles.
Divide extra large loads into smaller loads
for drying.
Check pockets thoroughly before washing
and drying clothes.
