Estimated Time Remaining

As the cycle begins, you will see the approximate total cycle time in the display. Then “racetrack lights” will
flash in the display, in a clockwise direction. This means the dryer is continuously monitoring the amount of
moisture in the load. The racetrack lights will continue until the dryer senses a low level of moisture in the
load. At that point, the dryer will calculate and display the approximate time remaining.
