I bought a new dryer and continued using those fabric dryer sheets. This dryer would kick off with the clothes not dry. I was thinking the timer was bad so called out a repairman. He changed the sensor in the dryer and told us those "dryer sheets" had coated it, causing a false signal that turned off the dryer. He told us to stop using them. Now we only use liquid with our wash and no more trouble.

I have never heard of that problem, but then my dryer is 15 years old. However, another good alternative is "dryer balls" - two plastic balls that just stay in the dryer all the time. They are very good for static electricity - meaning, they eliminate it. I believe some people use balls of aluminum foil, but I have never tried those. I usually use the fabric softener liquid in the machine, as it does soften the clothes better than just whatever one puts in the dryer.
