Dryer leaves black or brown marks on clothing.

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before internal inspection.

Eliminate staining sources:

• Inspect the drum interior and baffles for rust spots or sharp edges; clean and treat minor rust, or replace damaged baffles.
• Check the front felt seal for deterioration or dark, greasy deposits; replace if contaminated or worn.
• Inspect the rear bearing area for grease leakage into the drum path; replace bearing and clean thoroughly if contamination is present.
• Run a short cycle with old towels to confirm that staining has been resolved before drying good clothing.
