Problem Possible Cause Solutions
Excess static in clothes
after drying
Fabric softener is not used or
used incorrectly.
• Use a fabric softener or the STATIC SHIELD
option, if equipped, to reduce static electricity. Be
sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Clothes dried too long
(overdried).
• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup
of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a
shorter drying time, or use AUTO DRY cycles.
Select a LESS DRY setting on Sensor Dry cycles,
if necessary.
Drying synthetics, permanent
press, or synthetic blends.
• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static
buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use LESS
DRY and/or shorter TIME DRY time settings.
Clothes have damp spots
after a Sensor Dry cycle.
Very large load or very small
load.Single large item such as
a blanket or comforter.
• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the
sensor may have trouble reading the dryness
level of the load. Use a Time Dry cycle for very
small loads.
• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters
can sometimes wrap themselves into a tight
ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and
register on the sensors, while the inner core
remains damp. When drying a single bulky item,
it may help to pause the cycle once or twice and
rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any
damp areas.
• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very
large load or a few damp spots on a large item
after a sensor cycle has completed, empty the lint
trap, then set a Time Dry cycle to nish drying the
item(s).
