Estimated Time Remaining

Each time the dryer is used, it “learns” what types of loads you dry most often. 
It takes this data and determines the approximate time it will take the load to dry.

As the cycle begins, you will see the approximate total cycle time in the display. Then
lights will flash in the display, and the 

SENSING

light will flash. This means the dryer is

continuously monitoring the amount of moisture in the load. The 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.
