    I’ll never understand why dryers can’t simply reverse direction several times during the cycle to prevent this from happening all the time.

      I think once the clothes are trapped in the bedsheet it’s game over. I’m not sure changing directions would prevent it in the first place, unless it was literally just shaking or something close to it.

        It actually does help! Many commercial grade dryers have exactly this feature and it does exactly that. You can sometimes find it at brand new laundromats and I can confirm it somehow magically stops them from wrapping into one big old ball
