To use a Sensor Cycle

Press POWER/CANCEL.

Turn the knob to desired Sensor Cycle.

Select DRYNESS LEVEL to adjust how dry you want the load. As the cycle runs, the 
control senses the dryness of the load and adjusts the time automatically for the 
selected dryness level.

The initial preset temperature is the preferred setting for drying loads of different 
garment types listed (see “Sensor Cycles”). If desired, one alternate temperature may 
be selected to dry the load on a lower heat setting. The next time the same cycle is 
selected, the alternate temperature is remembered and displayed. The original 
(default) temperature may be reselected. The Delicate and Bulky cycles do not offer 
an alternate temperature.

Select the desired Options.

To make changes during a Sensor Cycle:

Press START/PAUSE.

Adjust Dryness Level. 

NOTE

: Dryness selections can be made only while using Sensor Cycles.  

How the Sensi-Care™ Drying System Works

Moisture-sensing strips and temperature sensors inside the dryer drum monitor how fast 
the load is drying, how hot the air should be, and when clothes are dry. The system 
automatically stops the cycle to help save time and avoid overdrying. 

To use a Timed Cycle

Turn knob to desired Timed Cycle.

Press the TIME ADJUST 

+ (plus) or – (minus) 

until the desired drying time is displayed. 

Press the 

+ (plus) or – (minus)

 and the time will change by 1-minute intervals. Press 

and hold the 

+ (plus) or – (minus)

 and the time will change by 5-minute intervals.

NOTE:

 The Time Adjust feature can be used only with the Timed Cycles and the 

Custom Refresh cycle.

Press TEMP LEVEL until the desired temperature illuminates.

NOTE:

 The Temp Level feature can be used only with Timed Cycles and the Custom 

Refresh cycle.

NOTE:

 During a Timed Cycle, you can change the settings for Time, Temp, the Wrinkle 

Prevent setting, and the End Signal. 

5.

(OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, select OPTIONS. For more details, see “Options.”

6.

(OPTIONAL STEP) If desired, press END SIGNAL. A signal will sound to alert you when a 
cycle ends. For more details, see “End Signal.”

7.

Press START/PAUSE. Be sure the door is closed.

If you do not press Start within 5 minutes of selecting the cycle, the dryer 
automatically shuts off.

If you wish to end your drying cycle after pressing Start, press POWER/CANCEL.

To use a Steam Cycle

Press POWER/CANCEL.

Turn the knob to the desired Steam Cycle.

For the Custom Refresh cycle, press the TIME ADJUST 

+ (plus) or – (minus)

 until the 

desired drying time is displayed. Press the 

+ (plus) or – (minus)

 and the time will 

change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold the 

+ (plus) or – (minus) 

and the time 

will change by 5-minute intervals.

NOTE:

 The Time Adjust features can be used only with Timed Cycles and the Custom 

Refresh cycle.

Press TEMP LEVEL until the desired temperature illuminates.

NOTE:

 During the Custom Refresh cycle, you can change the settings for Time Adjust and 

Temp Adjust. Open the door or press START/PAUSE to pause, or press POWER/CANCEL  
to cancel a cycle.

Stopping, Pausing, or Restarting

To stop or pause your dryer at any time

Open the door or press START/PAUSE. Press POWER/CANCEL to cancel a cycle.

To restart the dryer

Close the door. Press START/PAUSE until dryer starts.

NOTE

: Drying will continue from where the cycle was interrupted if you close the door and 

press Start within 5 minutes. If the cycle is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will 
shut off. Select new cycle settings before restarting the dryer.

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.

To reduce wrinkling, remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops. This is 
especially important for permanent press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
