Drying and Cycle Tips

Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your load. If a Sensor Cycle is running, the display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a Timed Cycle is running, the display shows the exact number of minutes remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few minutes of all
cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to handle and reduces wrinkling. The length of the Cool Down depends on the load size and dryness level.
Drying tips

Follow care label directions when they are available.

If desired, add a fabric softener sheet. Follow package
instructions.
Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Avoid drying heavy work clothes with lighter fabrics. This could
cause overdrying of lighter fabrics, leading to increased shrinking or wrinkling.
If you dry sheets in a mixed load or large items, rearrange the
load when the signal sounds. This will aid in the drying process.

Cycle tips

Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.

Refer to the Sensor or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart (in the
Cycles” section) for a guide to drying various loads.
Drying temperature and Sensor Cycles Dryness are preset to
Normal when you choose a Sensor Cycle and will dry most loads adequately using the most efficient amount of energy. You can choose a different dryness level, depending on your load by pressing the SENSOR CYCLES DRYNESS button to select More Dry, Normal, or Less Dry.
If you wish to adjust the cycle length of a Timed Cycle, you
must press the TIME ADJUST up or down buttons. Adjust the temperature of a Timed Cycle by pressing TIMED CYCLES TEMP until the desired temperature is selected.
NOTE: You cannot choose a Sensor Cycles Dryness with Timed, Steam, or Sanitize Cycles. Some cycles are not available on all models.

Cycles

NOTE: Not all cycles available on all models.
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See Sensor Prese

Sensor Cycles

Sensor Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Sensor Cycle Settings” chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.

Sanitize (on some models)

Use this cycle for items such as towels, bedding, children’s clothing, or other items needing to be sanitized. This cycle is designed to eliminate 99.9% of 3 common infectious bacteria. This cycle should be run to completion to ensure sanitization. For best results, do not interrupt cycle.

When a cycle is first turned on, the Sensing light glows until a wet item is detected.
In a Sensor Cycle, if a wet item has not been detected within
minutes, the Sensing light will turn off and the dryer will shut
10 down.
In a Timed Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after 10 minutes,
the Wet light turns on and the selected cycle continues.
Timed Cycle Light
The Timed Cycle and Sensing light indicators will glow during the drying cycle of a timed cycle. After the drying time is complete, the dryer will go through a Cool Down cycle; during this time, the Cool Down indicator will glow.
After Cool Down completes:
If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is selected, the Dry section of
the indicator will glow. The Wrinkle Prevent indicator will flash and the load will intermittently tumble for 120 minutes.
If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is not selected, the clothing
will stop tumbling and the Dry section of the indicator will glow.
Wet Light
The Wet status light is illuminated whenever a wet item is detected in the dryer during a sensor cycle. The Wet light will remain on until:

The damp dry point is reached in a Sensor Cycle.

The dryer enters the cool down period in a Timed Cycle.

Damp Light
When the Damp status light glows, the load is about 80% dry.
