Changing the Preset Dryness Level Settings

If all of your loads on all Sensor cycles are consistently not as dry as 

you would like, you may change the preset Dryness Level settings to 

increase the dryness. This change will affect all of your Sensor 

cycles.
Your Dryness Level settings can be adjusted to adapt to different 

installations, environmental conditions, or personal preference. 

There are 3 drying settings: 1 (factory preset dryness level), 2 (slightly 

dryer clothes, approximately 15% more drying time) and 3 (much 

dryer clothes, approximately 30% more drying time). 

1.

The Dryness Level settings cannot be changed while the dryer is 
running.

2.

Press and hold the DRYNESS LEVEL button for 5 seconds. The 

dryer will beep, and

button again until the desired Dryness Level setting is shown. 

NOTE: 

While cycling through the settings, the current setting 

will not flash, but the other settings will flash.

Press START/PAUSE to save the Dryness Level setting.

The Dryness Level setting you selected will become your new preset 

Dryness Level setting for all Sensor cycles.

front page of the manual or contact the dealer from whom you
