CYCLE SELECTOR (TIMER) CONTROL
Auto Moisture Sensing
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. When there is moisture left in the clothes, the
Cycle Control Knob will not advance. As clothes begin to
dry, the amount of water left in the clothes decreases, and
the timer advances through the remainder of the cycle.
When the selected dryness level is reached, the dryer
goes into a cool down period of up to 10 minutes.
If the load is drier than you like, you may select a setting
closer to Less Dry the next time you dry a similar load. If a
load is not as dry as you like, you may complete drying
using a Timed cycle. You may also select a setting closer
to More Dry the next time you dry a similar load.
Timed Dry
This cycle may be used to get up to 90 minutes of heated
drying time. The heating cycle is followed by a cool down period
of up to 10 minutes.
Air Dry
You may use the Air Dry cycle to get up to 30 minutes of drying
time in room temperature air. This setting should be used for
items such as plastics, rubber and heat-sensitive fabrics.
FABRIC CARE/TEMPERATURE CONTROL
For models with a Fabric Care/Temperature Control knob, you may use this control to select the drying temperature that matches the
fabrics in your load. The following table lists suggested auto moisture sensing or timed dry settings for various loads. This is only a guide.

Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
• Clean the lint screen before each load.
Before you call service...check for the following.
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with
lint?

every 2 years.
See the Use and Care Guide for complete details.
WRINKLE GUARD®I
WRINKLE GUARD®I helps smooth out wrinkles that may form when clothes are not removed promptly at the end of a cycle.
WRINKLE GUARD®I continuously tumbles the load, without heat, for 30 minutes unless you open the dryer door.
During WRINKLE GUARD®I, the End of Cycle Signal will sound every 5 minutes unless the signal is turned off.
