8 AUTOSENSING
When wet or damp clothes are loaded into a dryer they are partially saturated with water, which is
a relatively good conductor of electricity. In the Intuitive™ dryer, sensor bars (located beneath the
lint bucket) are used to measure the conductivity. When moisture in the clothes touches across the
sensor bars their conduction is measured. As the clothes dry they become less conductive and it is
this measurement that is used to calculate the dryness of the clothes load. Large loads will brush
against these sensor bars more frequently than small loads, and this strike count is used to help
determine the dryness of different sized loads.
Different fabrics retain moisture differently; a thick towel containing a lot of moisture will often
conduct the same as a light synthetic garment containing very little. It is this difference in fabric
characteristics plus the initial unknown moisture content that makes the calculation of dryness
reasonably complex. To test the sensor bars refer to Section
7.3.1
9 TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Auto sensing is automatically selected when the Intuitive™ dryer is turned on. The user can select
a time dry option of 20, 40 or 80 minutes through the Options menu. Auto sensing of the clothes
load dryness level is achieved by touch sensors that sense the moisture content of the load. An
exhaust temperature sensor is used to monitor the exhaust temperature. The controller limits the
temperature to what is required for the various cycles and determines what elements are used.

10 COOL DOWN
The dryer enters a cool down period at the end of the cycle. During this period the dryer continues
to run with the heating elements/burner turned off, blowing ambient air through the load to help
prevent creasing.
Autosensing: If any Auto Sensing cycle has been selected, the cool down period will continue
until the exhaust temperature drops to 35
minutes, the cycle will stop. This would occur if the ambient temperature was above 35
Timed Dry: If an 80 minute or 40 minute Timed Dry cycle has been selected, the cool down period
will run for the last 10 minutes of that cycle. If a 20 minutes Timed Dry cycle has been selected, the
cool down period will run for the last 5 minutes.
Cycle Cool Down
Auto Sensing Cool down will last until the exhaust temperature drops to 35
minutes, whichever occurs first.
