SOLUTION

• Clean lint screen. Check for air movement.

can cause lint-attracting static (see “Using Your

Dryer”).

laundering.

beginning of cycle when load is cold.

Your Dryer”).

• Check quality of garment before purchasing.

• Dry smaller loads that can tumble freely.

• Match dryer settings to fabric type (see “Using

Your Dryer”).

• Remove load as soon as tumbling stops.

the air.
