Samsung Dryer 'Cocooning' Load

Bed sheets are always twisted up/ cocooned. Whether it's just two king-size (microfleece) sheets or a load of twin-sized cotton sheets. Especially the cotton sheets; one load consists of several sheets (RMT in the family), and these get so tangled and twisted that they end up cocooning themselves into one big mass. Brand new dryer; load is not too large for the dryer (previous Kenmore model was smaller and had no issues with same size load); dryer is level. Samsung technician came to service unit; between tech and Samsung their answer is: the way the dryer operates/runs, and as per the manual: "May require repositioning to ensure even drying". Very frustrating to pay top $ for a new machine, and have to babysit the drying cycle.

Try a pair of old tennis shoes in with the sheets.

SOURCE: hotpoint dryer takes 3-4 70 minute cycles per load

Check your rear exhaust vent for blockage.
Your dryer has 2 heating elements.
If it gets warm at all at least one element is broken.
The operating thermostat could also be bad.
Burned/broken wire at heater terminal.
Unplug the dryer.
Remove the front panel, then the belt and drum and inspect the heater and thermostats.

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.

Can I use the same sheets on my King-sized waterbed as I used on my regular King-sized bed mattress?

No. You will need to buy waterbed specific sheets. They are sized slightly differently. You can purchase sheets at a local store near you or at many online stores. I have taken the liberty of searching a few stores for you.

I have a problem with my samsung dryer. The model number is DV330AEB XAA I have trouble drying sheets. The sheet will always twist up and not dry. I must take it out after 10 min and untwist it then...

THE PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU DRY THE SHEETS WITH OTHER CLOTHING THE SHEETS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO DRY SO THEY TWIST,SO I THINK IS BEST TO DRY THE SHEETS ALONG...

Sheets twisted in a tight wad

hi there......this is usually caused by older dryers which didnt have a reversing tumble facility...or if a lifter is missing from the drum..check that your dryer is or is not a reverse action....and if it is a reverse action that it actually does reverse...you may have a programmer fault if its not reversing

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.

What is the capaity of 2005 Kenmore Elite Washer and Dryer, models 110?

Starting in early 2002, the capacity sizes were changed around a little bit. A normal sized washer now all have the same sized tubs (pretty much) in the 110 series (Whirlpool Manufactured) washers. The capacity is now rated somewhat by the agitator action the washer comes with. Depending on the type of agitator you have, will determine the capacity. King size capacity means you have a pretty good capacity (size wise) than others. You have normal capacity, large capacity, super capacity, king capacity, and I even think they have canyon (yes canyon) capacity. Capacity sizes dont really mean to much though. In order for you clothes to get clean, the must have room in the tub to move. The must be able to float up, then get pulled down by agitator action. That should determine the size of what goes in the washer. Always use same type clothing when doing laundry (i.e. towels with towels, sheets with sheets, etc, this will keep the load balanced better). Watch what you load, comforters are ok (per manufactures ok) but I do not tlike the idea unless its a front loader, and only by itself. Let me know if this helps you out any.
