Probably overloading the dryer.
A faster spin speed does this.
Some people like to give their individual pieces a quick "snap/shake-out" to open and fluff and de-wrinkle before the stuff hits the dryer.
Try also using a dryer cycle with a cool-down. This will help eliminate many unnecessary wrinkles.
I personally prepare jeans by "ironing" them with my hands and folding them as if they are going onto a hanger in the closet. They go into the dryer that way. I find such fussing prevents creases from "sinking-in" permanently.

Thank's for the help.I will tell him.
Just as with using a dryer, laundry done in a front loader needs room to move about, or it will crease and wrinkle. Items such as towels and other like items can generally stand packing in, wihtin the washing machines rated weight limit of course; but dress shirts, certian types of linens, jeans and such need room to tumble freely.
Wrinkles can also result from using too high wash temperatures and or incorrect cycles. For instance there is a reason washing machines still have permanent press cycles along with delicates. Many washers also have special cycles for dress shirts and the like. It it is worth while to sit down with the owner's manual and read up on suggested load sizes.

I have a Frigidaire front loader myself. Just as Laundress suggests, I only fill it to full capacity for loads that are towels, sheets or underwear/whites. Loads with jeans, golf shirts, and t-shirts, I won't fill as full so thre's room to tumble a little freerer. I do use fabric softner also and that helps a lot with wrinkling. Also, does your friend sort the laundry at all or is it all thrown in together?
Plus, there's the matter of
the dryer itself. If he has the matching Frigidaire dryer, it is entirely possible that he's overloading the dryer by just loading it with a full washer load.
The matching Frigidaire dryer has a comparatively small 5.7 cubic foot drum.
If I had to get a new, new washer, I would get a Frigidaire front loader, but not the matching dryer.

Yeah, the matching dryer is just wayy too small for the washer. Golittlesport had the original frigidaire FL (3.1 cu. ft. tub) and he told me he had to split a full washer load of jeans into two dryer loads so they wouldn't ocme out all wrinkled.
