Excessive Creasing / Drum Reversal or Cool-Down Issue
Dryer runs but clothes come out very wrinkled and creased
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Drum not reversing (if designed to), Cool-down phase not operating, Overloading, Leaving clothes in drum after cycle
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before internal inspection.
- Adjust load size: Do not overload the drum. Leave enough space for clothes to tumble freely.
- Remove promptly: Take clothes out immediately after the cycle ends to prevent setting of creases.
- Check drum reversal: Observe whether the drum changes direction periodically during the cycle (on models that support this). If not, the motor or control may be at fault.
- Verify cool-down: At the end of the cycle, the dryer should run with cool air for a short period. If it stops abruptly while still hot, check the control board and temperature sensors.
