Auto Moisture Sensing Controls

When you are using the Auto Moisture Sensing Cycle, the dryness of the load is determined by two metal strips (sensors) located on the inside of the dryer. The metal strips help "feel" the amount of moisture left in the clothes as they pass. After the first 5 minutes of an automatic cycle, the estimated time display will adjust based on the approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected and amount of

moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes have reached approximately 80% of the dryness level selected, the

estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final drying time.
