I bought my first dryer last year (a Maytag) thinking this would be an
improvement over hanging clothes on the line in the basement during the
winter months. But I find that everything comes out super wrinkled.
The 'hot' setting gets makes clothes so hot that I think they'll catch
on fire, so instead I dry on 'medium' which is still plenty hot. If I
let sheets get completely dry then they wrinkle so bad that I need to
iron them. The only way to prevent the wrinkles is to take them out
when they're still slightly damp. Am I doing something wrong? Any
suggestions?

You're probably not using your dryer correctly, did you read the User's
Manual?
Maytag makes a good product, yours should have a moisture sensor and a
cool down cycle, there is no reason for your clothes to come out
wrinkled. And there is no good reason to always use the highest heat
setting unless you are in a hurry... it only consumes more energy and
causes clothes to deteriorate prematurely. Read the Manual, carefully.

Yeah, you very rarely need to use hot, and it's tough on your clothing,
too.

Are you overloading the dryer? Or the washer, for that matter?
Does your dryer have a cycle that dries it till it's dry, then stops?
You can usually adjust it to more or less dry, use less dry, I do and
they still come out dry. Certainly not wrinkled. Are you making
absolutely, positively sure you are not catching even the teensiest
piece of fabric in the door? Are you putting the sheets in piece by
piece or in one giant clump?
Give them a shake before you put them into the dryer if the problem
is that severe.
All I can think of right now. Dryer sheets (softeners) might help but
I am not fond of them, myself.

If you dry your clothes to 98% dry the hang them...no wrinkles...

My guess is that you are overloading the dryer.
Another possibility is that the drum is not turning or something is
wrong with the thermostat. You should call for service. If it's
relatively new it should still be under warranty so let them figure it
out before it goes off warrantee.

My clothes will wrinkle if I don't get them out right away. I don't even
really have time to hang them unless I have hangers right there. What I do
is when they are dry I pull them out and lay them all out flat and neatly on
the closed washer top. Then I go about folding and/or hanging as necessary
and I have no wrinkles this way.

What I do... When the clothes are dry (my dryer has a sensor to tell me),
I change the temperature setting to "air only" and continue running the
dryer until everything is cool. Things come out virtually wrinkle free.
Even at that, they need to be hung up or folded immediately after stopping
the dryer.

To check to see if the drum is turning, just put one sneaker (tennis shoe)
inside (or a spoon, or a marble, etc). If the drum is turning, the thing
inside will "bang" as the drum turns and the thing falls to the bottom.
Turn off the heat or turn it to low, but you won't
have to leave it in there but just a minute or so.
Overloading came to me, too. The clothes must have room to "float" in the
dryer.
The high heat setting is not, usually. the best choice. I use it for
towels and some heavy cottons, but never for Permanent Press or any
delicate fabric or for sheets.
Good luck getting the dryer to do a good job for you. It's a great
appliance.

I found this to be the case (super wrinkled) when I overload my dryer; the
clothes don't have enough room and the heat sets the wrinkles.
I do two things to eliminate wrinkles; loads small enough to give plenty of
tumbling room and, when I remove an item, I restart the dryer while I fold
the removed item. The restarting of the dryer keeps the remaining clothes
warm while I fold, when I remove a warm item, the few wrinkles that may be
there fall right out.

my guess is that you're just drying them too long. back the time down so that
the cool down cycle happens right as the clothes are dried.

I'm not as good natured as Dustin, I guess. I bought a new dryer a while
back, a larger one. Now when I wash 2 pieces, each piece ends up in one
wrinkled piece when drying that has conformed to where it has flopped to
those ledges in the dryer. (When I dry two-three items it is because I
don't want lint on them from other clothes, so I've washed them separately.)
This doesn't happen to really fluffy items like polartec, but the dryer just
seems to pound the turtle-neck tops into one flat long wedge. Ticks me off
just to think about it as I've got a lot of 'separates' to wash.

It may depend on what you consider wrinkles - I always get tiny wrinkles,
but not crease-type wrinkles -
as I understand it, wrinkles come from both the washer and the dryer, and
basically the clothes wrinkle for the same reason - heat softens the fabric,
and "cool" sets the fabric in place where it sits when cooled.
1) the washer: washing in hot water and then spinning the permanent press
fabrics (and to a lesser extent, other fabrics) without a cool-down will
make wrinkles.
As I understand it, the formaldehyde-based plastic imbedded in the
perm-press fabric softens in warm water, and if it goes to spin before
cool-down, the spin cycle then creases that warmed fabric. The plastic
fabric being cooled in that folded state by rinse water then sets in
wrinkles.
The "wrinkle-free" fabrics should use the perm-press setting in the
washer, which locks in warm water and puts the fabric through a cool-down
before spinning.
(This works only if the washing machine cold hoses are not kinked or
blocked, e.g, clogged hose filters or the cold valve is partly turned off.
Most machine hoses have filters on the machine connection end; Some have
them at the mixing valve.)
Note that if you wash your clothes in cold water, wearing-wrinkles will
not "relax" out of most perm-press fabrics.
2) the dryer - to minimize wrinkles in a dryer,
a) the plastic/fabric has to cool down completely before it stops (that is
done in a cool-down cycle) and
b) hot fabric is not to be allowed to touch cool fabrics during drying
(don't pack the dryer or put in heavy jeans and dress shirts - use the same
fabric-weight stuff, basically)
So, assuming the wrinkles you are seeing in your dryer are not those tiny
little wrinkles most stuff gets in a sensor-type cool-down dryer:
First. Wrinkles are "removed" by the "cool-down" at the end of cycle rather
than by the moisture sensor. Kind of like taking hot clothes out immediately
and hanging them on hangars - few wrinkles. Cool-down is a
cycle-timer-clock function, not a sensor function per se.
(The timer is the device which tells the dryer what step to do in the
selected dry cycle; the sensor tells the timer when to go to the next step
once the clothes are dried to the selected "dryness" sensor level. )
If your clothes do not end their dry cycle feeling almost cool to the
touch, then either you have chosen a setting that does not cool-down and
thus sets wrinkles when left; or the clock is defective/incorrectly
connected (i.e., warranty time).
Second, and I ask because the setting that you select can bypass the
cool-down - does the dryer have a moisture sensor?
(It would have one if there are at least three dryer settings - settings
like "air", "timed", and "automatic")
Are you using a setting that uses a sensor and thus has a cool-down?
(e.g., "timed" or "air"would not use it.)
My "timed" on my Maytag has a cool-down, juts like my "Automatic"
(sensor) setting. It is possible that not all dryers cool-down in the
"timed" setting.
Check the manual and choose a cycle that has a cool down -
then, if the clothes come out hot in that cycle, the dryer requires fixing.

Unfortunately, my new system is prone to do the same thing.
It's a consideration I hadn't thought about before purchase.
Because we moved to a "much" smaller place I opped for a 1
piece system. LG Washer/dryer in one. It takes longer to
do the laundry and it has only "one" setting for drying. No
air only. So, I'm doing a lot more ironing with my new
cordless iron :<(

True, and stuff like shirts that I am going to iron I don't bother
to dry, I just hang them up to dry. Did a whole lot more of that
in my working days, that's for sure.

Dryer sheets are a *must*! I couldn't live without them.
Bounce is my favorite. The difference between clothes dried
with them (hardly any wrinkles if you remove them and fold them
or hang them up immediately and no static) and without them
(static is awful, everything clings to everything else and much
more wrinkled).

What is worse (for me) is to sleep on sheets at someone's house who has used
it. This has happened a few times when I couldn't get home.
Much of my deceased m-i-l's clothing/bedding was given away and to the
Salavation Army because of Bounty odor. Some things I washed and washed and
washed to get it out and tried many home remedies, suggestions from cousins
to no avail.
Trapped in the land of Bounty,

There is an unscented version. And no the scent doesn't
bother me. I don't even notice it except right when
the clothes come out of the dryer. It dissipates fairly
quickly.

I wish I could remember who said it, but there is some joke that one way
to determine the single guys from the married (but attempting to look
single) guys at a bar is that only the married ones have clothes that
smell like fabric softener. The truly single guys supposedly won't bother?

I hate the stuff and wish my wife wouldn't insist it be used. I want my
clothes *clean* when I put them on, not with all the fibres coated with hell
knows what (and I know if it is ever over used because I itch like hell). I
also prefer to choose the scent I have on me.
