DRY CYCLES

SENSOR DRY CYCLES

Sensor Dry Cycles may be used for most loads. These cycles give the
optimal drying in the shortest time. Drying time varies according to
the type of fabric, size of the load, and dryness setting.

Sensor Dry Cycles

All Sensor Dry Cycles are preset to NORMAL DRY, which is good for
most fabrics. At the end of the cycle, you may check the dryness of

the load.

° If the load is drier than you like, you may select the Less Dry

setting the next time you d_ a similar load.

If a load is not as dry as you like, you may complete drying using
a Timed cycle. You may select the More Dry setting the next time
you dry a similar load.

Sensor System Auto Moisture Sensing

Dryness is determined by an electronic sensor that "feels" the amount
of moisture in clothes as they pass over it. When the selected dryness
level is reached, the dryer goes into a cool down period of up to

10 minutes.

Use this cycle to help smooth out wrinkles from such items as clothes
packed in a suitcase or items wrinkled from being left in the dryer too

long. This setting provides about 20 minutes of heated tumbling

followed by a cool down period of up to 10 minutes.

_Troubleshooting -

Long Dry Times, Load Not Drying

Before you call service ... check for the following:
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?

° Clean the lint screen before each load.

Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with lint?

Lint should be cleaned out of the exhaust vent at least once
every 2 years.

Is the Sensor Dry Cycle ending early?

Do not use a dryer rack with an Sensor Dry Cycle.

Are all of your Sensor Dry Cycle loads consistently not as dry as
you would like?

. You may change the preset Dryness Level settings to increase

dryness for all Sensor Dry Cycles. See "Changing Cycles,
Modifiers and Options" in the Use and Care Guide.

See the Use and Care Guide for complete details.
