Sheets and bedding get balled up in dryer and don't get dry.

I have added towels to the bedding to help prevent the balling issue but this doesn't help. The bedspread and sheets get into very tight balls and sound like heavy balls being banged around in the dryer. I have to take them out every 10 minutes and rearrange and still it takes forever to dry.

Balls don't work. The only solution is to unball the sheets every few minutes. It is the dryers fault: they way it's designed. It's not the milkman's fault.

Try putting dry pillows in with them. They will take up some of the extra space in the dryer and may prevent the sheets from being able to get into a ball.

    Does not work! I had 3 pillows in there and the comforter still balled up. It's a HUGE design flaw with this dryer. I'm gonna sell my set as i am SEVERELY displeased with Samsung.

SOURCE: Is there anyway I can

You can put one or two tennis balls in with them. There are also dryer "balls" that stores sell but tennis balls work too!

My dryer dries clothes on the timed dry setting , but not on auto dry. could this be the heat sensor going ?

Find your sensor inside the drum and get some cotton balls and a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Dampen a cotton ball and rub it across the sensor bars in the dryer. If it comes back blue, keep rubbing with new cotton balls until they come back with no color. Do this especially if you use dryer sheets. Those sheets end up coating the sensor with a film and then the sensors will not detect the moisture. Hope this helps!

No lint on filter? Where is it all going? Checked exhaust vent bought a vacuum attachment and there is no lint. Twice and sometimes triple the drying time! Help!

Instructions
  1. Dryer Does Not Run
    • 1 Close the door firmly. The dryer will not operate if the door is not completely closed.
    • 2 Press the "Start" button firmly or push the knob in to start the dryer.
    • 3 Turn the dial past the "Off" position and away from "Wrinkle Prevent." The dryer will not start in the "Off" or "Wrinkle Prevent" position.
    Long Drying Times
    • 4 Remove the lint screen. Clean it and replace it.
    • 5 Check the temperature of the room. The dryer will not operate properly in temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • 6 Inspect the area around the dryer. It requires at least 1-inch clearance on the front and sides of the dryer. A 5-inch clearance is needed on the back of the dryer. Move the dryer, if needed.
    • 7 Separate large loads and do not use an air dry cycle.
    Lint, Stains and Wrinkles
    • 8 Clean the lint screen before drying each load of clothes to prevent lint buildup on clothing.
    • 9 Add fabric softener sheets before starting a drying cycle. If the sheets are added after the load has partially dried, they can leave stains on the clothing.
    • 10 Dry small loads and remove clothing as soon as the drying cycle completes to prevent wrinkling.
    Dryer is Noisy
    • 11 Check the inside of the dryer for loose change, buttons or other items. Empty the pockets on clothing before drying.
    • 12 Separate items that are knotted together and restart the load. Knotted or balled up clothing will bounce and make the dryer vibrate.
    • 13 Level the dryer. Turn the leveling legs on the front of the dryer clockwise or counter-clockwise until the dryer is level. Turning the legs clockwise will lower the dryer. Turning the legs counter-clockwise will raise the dryer.

Clothes roll into a ball on matag dryer

As you insert the clothing into the dryer make sure you open up the larger pieces fully so they do not ball up. Frequently people put large bed sheets in before opening them up and everything gets rolled inside them. If your load is too small, that might happen, also!

My king-sized sheets (only thing in load) are getting tangled in a ball in the dryer and not getting dry.

This is pretty common with lighter fabrics and is easily remedied. Put several new tennis balls in with the sheets to keep them from balling up. There are commercial products that do the same thing, but tennis balls are much less expensive.

When I dry sheets they ball up into a twisted wad and do not dry evenly. Do you have advice for this problem?

Lisa I find if you put sheets in with other items such as towels this can work to prevent them rolling into a ball and not drying evenly.

Sheets wind together in a damp ball

I have a different model Bosch dryer, but I have the same problem.

I've found that the flat sheets dry okay if you have them in with other things (like pillowcases and t-shirts). I learned long ago though that you can't put those things in with deep fitted sheets; the little stuff winds up caught in the corners in damp wrinkly wads.

So I dry the fitted sheet separately, and throw in a couple of clean tennis balls. They're noisy, but harmless, and they keep the sheet from balling up.
