THEORY OF OPERATION
TIMER CONTROL
CONSOLE
Electronic Dry-Miser
This cycle can be used for most loads. Drying time varies according to type of fabric, size of load and
dryness setting.
• Set the Cycle Selector Control to the desired dryness.
• Dryness is determined by an electronic moisture sensor system that “feels” the amount of
moisture in the clothes as they pass over a moisture sensor mounted on the grille assembly
at the front of the drum area. When the selected dryness is reached the dryer goes into a
timed COOL DOWN period of approximately 10 minutes.
• The End-of-Cycle signal sounds once the cycle is complete.
• The End-of-cycle signal can be turned OFF by pressing the Cycle Signal OFF pad on the
Clean Touch console.
• The Finish Guard option will tumble the clothes without heat for about 15 seconds every five
minutes until the door is opened and the clothes removed.
• The Finish Guard option can be turned OFF by pressing the Finish Guard OFF pad on the
Clean Touch console.
Timed Dry Cycle
This cycle will provide up to 80 minutes of heated drying time.
• The heating cycle is followed by approximately 10 minutes of COOL DOWN.
• The End-of-Cycle signal sounds once the cycle is complete.
• The End-of-cycle signal can be turned OFF by pressing the Cycle Signal OFF pad on the
Clean Touch console.
• The Tumble Press portion of the Timed Dry Cycle is designed to provide about 15 minutes of
HEATED TUMBLING followed by 10 minutes of COOL DOWN.
