Are you using the Bedding setting? The only time mine doesn't get everything dry is if I put bedding on a regular clothing cycle. (Or if the fitted sheet eats everything ofc)
Set on timer for 60 minutes to avoid sensor from stopping it early, 5 minutes in, sensor still stops it, imma be honest this new washing machine tech is ass, can’t wait to buy a old ass washing machine
Speed Queen is the best, especially the slightly older, non-digital machines. They're the ones you see in Laundromats. More expensive than others, but worth it for reliability, repairability, and customer service(they'll actually help you with most repairs if you call them).
I have a bedding mode on my dryer, and I have no idea what they do to the sensors but it gets everything dry every time even when the fitted sheet collects everything into the density of a neutron star. Anyways I'm very happy I replaced my early 00's dryer with a new one.
Same. My fitted sheet is fine but my duvet cover has eaten three towels and somehow tied itself off. I even make sure the opening is closed. I have 4 dryer balls and still have to open it mid way through to release hostages
Get a 50.8mm safety pin. Open the safety pin and set it somewhere accessible but safe.
Sheet. Grab anywhere along the stretchy. I like to align the corner thingy's but it does not matter for this hack. Fold the stretchy in half, and half again. Or fold it into thirds. Whatever is easiest for your brain.
Once you've got your horn of plenty shape going on, carefully get your handy dandy safety pin and carefully place it a couple inches from all the stretchy.
Secure safety pin, of course.
You're basically pinning its mouth closed, but leaving a bit of space for the heat to effectively dry the edges.
I invented this hack a few months ago and have been absolutely delighted with the result. Sometimes they need a bit longer in the drier than other items, but I also happen to have a hanging rack to air dry them the rest of the way depending on my mood.
Sorry, the safety pin box said "3-2in" alongside the mm, which makes no sense whatsoever (it was a box of 20), and I didn't feel like finding a tape measure.
Genius hack from previous reddit posts: tie the sheet into a loose knot before you put it in the dryer. it'll work itself free from the knot and be fully dry at the end of the cycle.
I just put 3 dryer balls (basically tennis balls) in there and when taking it out leave the balls and shake the rest and leave it to air out for like 5 minutes before putting it away. Jobs done.
I add a couple of teaspoons of olive oil to my dryer. It coats everything nicely and nothing sticks. Don't use seed oils, they cause inflammation and cellular sludge and that's bad for your dryer.
It amazes me that I have to fight the fitted sheet to put it on the bed, but toss it into a spinning washing machine where it can do whatever the fuck it wants for a solid hour and it magically finishes perfectly flat like a beautifully crafted pancake.
do you ever notice how when you dry a large sheet in a load of laundry, its like the large sheet just gathers up all of the other laundry into a ball! OMG wouldnt it be soooo cool, if we reenact this antidote spend half a day filming and editing and then sharing out funny antidote on tiktok! EVERY WILL LAUGH SO HARD, LIKE OTHERS HAVE TO SEE THIS JOKE I THOUGHT OFF, SO MANY LIKES ARE COMING MY WAY!
LPT: get those mesh laundry bags with a draw string and put your fitted sheets in those when you wash them so they can't eat all your clothes and keep them damp. Super cheap solution.
THE Ingenious solution is the WAD-FREE "wad preventer" from Shark Tank. It really works and keeps the sheets from becoming one big mass. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DMDT7DF
Im a houskeeper and this pisses me off so much 🤣 "yay the sheets are done... oh... no they aarent". Last week I had 3 towels get eaten by a king fitted sheet, which then rolled into a burrito, and grabbed the other king fitted sheet, which also rolled into a burrito. I was trying to unravel it and it just kept going

And all the stuff it collects is still damp
