I turned off ECO mode to fix that problem.
Rage Against the Washing Machine
I don’t get why people would waste energy on drying clothes with a dryer if you can just as well air dry them.
Air drying gives me crisp clothes. Using a dryer with fabric softener gives me nice and soft clothes.
I want soft clothing. So I use the dryer.
Honestly, for me personally this doesn’t make any sense.
Firstly most fabric softeners are terrible for the moisture wicking abilities of fabrics. You should never use them on towels, bed sheets or any clothing that you expect to absorb sweat to some degree. They are known to contain chemicals that can pollute the ground water and they also cost money.
Now taking into account all that and the fact that using a dryer is very energy intensive, I find making all those comprimises just because you want your clothing to be soft is less than understandable.
You forgot to mention that machine drying also leads to clothes breaking/wearing down much faster
For all the folks saying to clean the dryer, clearly you never fucked with the LG dryers. They do this shit straight off bat.
If you don’t understand timed drys vs auto drys, which half the settings are, sure, you have problems. Most of the LG settings(I have one of their “smart” dryers and washers) are all auto timed. Placing small loads often won’t trip the sensor because there’s little moist material to activate it. Running large loads with the filter clogged will end up having it detect more of the dry lint than the wet center of your blanket. Empty the filter and restart it and you’ll be amazed to see it’ll auto run for another 30 minutes and your clothes come out fine. Or switch to the actually timed dries and it will run the whole time NO MATTER WHAT.
If it’s shutting off that fast, it’s user error.
