weren't removed during the washing process.
Make sure that clothes are being completely
cleaned according to the instructions for your
washer and detergent.

Drying time is not
consistent
Heat settings, load size, or
dampness of clothing is not
consistent.
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.
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.
The drying time for a load will vary depending on the
heat setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural,
or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics,
the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the
exhaust ducts and lint filter. //
