Common Drying Problems
Hot Tip
Remember to use your Dryer on the right
settings as this can help reduce the amount
of creases and help with less ironing.
Hotpoint Dryers have special Crease Care
options that help prevent wrinkles.
Hot Tip
To help with your ironing use the automatic
Iron Dry level. This is a very delicate drying
cycle with a residual humidity level which is
ideal to help ironing.
Why are some of my clothes full
of static electricity when I empty
the dryer?
Cause: Static electricity can result from over-drying.
This can happen when light-weight fabrics or delicate
items dry too quickly.
Prevention: To help reduce this problem try using a
Fabric Softener such as Lenor in your washing machine,
and add a dryer sheet such as Lenor, in your Dryer to
help reduce any static electricity.
Why has my laundry lost the ‘fresh’ smell it usually has after
washing?
Cause: Loss of freshness can be caused by over-drying.
Prevention: Try to choose a lower heat setting on your Dryer and use a dryer sheet such as Lenor.
This gently adds a fresh fragrance to your laundry as well as helping protect against creasing and
static cling.
Why are my clothes dry but
full of creases?
Cause: You are probably using too high a heat setting or
drying for too long.
Prevention: Wherever possible use an automatic drying
program/option as the humidity sensors will detect
automatically when your load is dry.

How can I speed up the drying
process when I need something
in a hurry?
Treatment: Select the items you need to dry
and add one or two clean/dry bath towels as you
put them in the Dryer. The towels will help absorb
some of the moisture and make the drying
process quicker.
I left my clothes too long in the
dryer and they’re full of wrinkles.
Prevention: Place a dampened clean towel
alongside your clothes in the Dryer. Let the
load run through another cycle and the added
moisture from the towel should help to remove
the wrinkles.
Prevention: Hotpoint Dryers have Crease
Care options that helps prevent wrinkles via an
automatic movement of the drum after the end
of the cycle.
Why is it taking longer for a load
to dry than it used to do?
Cause: The fl uff fi lter probably needs cleaning.
During every cycle tiny particles of fabric are
released in the hot air of the Dryer and collect
in the fi lter.
Prevention: Clean the fl uff fi lter regularly
(preferably after each use) and this will help
your Dryer to run more effi ciently. Refer to your
Hotpoint User Manual for more details on how
to do this.
