Dryer Features

Time Display

When you select an Automatic cycle, the estimated time is 
displayed in the Time Remaining window and the Estimated light 
is lit.  

When you select a Timed cycle, the actual time is diplayed in the 
Time Remaining window.

Drying Status Lights

You can monitor the progress of your load with the Drying Status 
lights.

Sensing
The Sensing light flashes at the start of the load when the 
electronic moisture sensor is searching for wetness.

Wet
Once the moisture sensor detects wetness in the load, 
the Wet light flashes until the moisture sensor can no 
longer detect wetness in the clothes.

Damp
The Damp light flashes after the moisture sensor no 
longer detects wetness in the clothes. At this point, the 
clothes are approximately 80% dry. You may want to 
remove lightweight items in a mixed load to prevent 
overdrying or remove partially dry items to hang up to 
save on ironing. The Damp light will flash for 
approximately two minutes.

Drying/Cool Down
The Drying/Cool Down light will continue to flash until 
Cool Down is completed. The Drying/Cool Down light will 
also flash if a Timed Cycle has been selected and the 
Sensing light does not detect any moisture in the clothes. 

WRINKLE SHIELD™
The WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting light is lit when it is 
selected. The light flashes after the Cool Down period is 
complete. The WRINKLE SHIELD setting light will 
continue to flash until the clothes are removed or the 120 
minutes of the WRINKLE SHIELD system have expired.

Additional Features

You can customize your cycles by selecting different features. If 
you change your mind, select a different feature.

WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting

When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer 
as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD 
setting periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load to 
avoid wrinkles.

Select the WRINKLE SHIELD setting by pressing the On/Off pad 
on the Drying Status bar. The WRINKLE SHIELD setting 
periodically tumbles the load without heat for up to 120 minutes.

End of Cycle Signal 

If the End of Cycle Signal is selected, the signal sounds when a 
cycle is complete. If the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting is selected, 
the signal sounds every few minutes. The signal stops when you 
open the door.

Press the Bell symbol to select a Softer or Louder signal or to 
turn the End of Cycle Signal off.

Drying Rack

Select this feature to dry items such as tennis shoes and pillows 
without tumbling. The drum turns, but the rack does not move.

To use the drying rack

1.

Slide rear pegs into the dimples on the back wall of the dryer. 
Lower the front legs to rest on the dryer opening.

2.

Put the wet items on top of the rack. Leave space between 
the items so air can reach all the surfaces. Close the door.

NOTE: 

Do not allow items to hang over the edge of the rack.

3.

Select the Rack Dry cycle. Press the MORE TIME or LESS 
TIME arrows, if desired. Press the TIMED CYCLES SELECT 
pad to select a temperature. Items containing foam, rubber, 
or plastic must be dried on a clothesline or by using an Air 
Cycle. Press the START pad.

NOTE:

 You must remove rack for normal tumbling. Do not 

use automatic cycles with the drying rack.
