How Automatic Cycles Work
EvenHeat™ improves drying performance with Auto Moisture
Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is
extracted from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature
sensor) and moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help
measure the amount of moisture in the clothes as they pass.
An electronic control determines the load type to help save
time, avoid overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the end
dryness level. After the first 5 minutes of an automatic cycle,
the estimated time display will adjust based on the
approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected and
amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes have
reached approximately 80% of the dryness level selected, the
estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final
drying time. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus takes the guesswork
out of drying time and enhances fabric care.
To use a Manual Cycle
■
Rotate the dial to select a Manual Cycle.
Press MORE TIME or LESS TIME until the desired drying time
is displayed. Tap MORE TIME or LESS TIME and the time will
change by 1-minute intervals. Press and hold MORE TIME or
LESS TIME, and the time will change by 5-minute intervals.
The initial time displayed is the actual drying time.
NOTE: The More Time or Less Time feature can be used only
with Manual Cycles.
■
Press TEMPERATURE until the desired temperature
glows.
NOTE: Pressing the Dryness Level button will cause the triple
beep indicating that this option is not selectable. Also, a
Dryness Level is not indicated.

the cycle signals. Press the PAUSE/CANCEL key twice to
stop the dryer and clear the settings, allowing you to select
another cycle.
Stopping Your Dryer
To stop your dryer at any time
Press PAUSE/CANCEL twice or open the door.
Pausing or Restarting
To pause the dryer at any time
Open the door or press PAUSE/CANCEL once.
To restart the dryer
Close the door and press (and hold) HOLD TO START button 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.
Control Locked
This feature allows you to lock your settings to avert unintended
use of the dryer. You can also use the Control Locked feature to
avert unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.
To enable the Control Locked feature when dryer is
running:
Press and hold the SIGNALS button for 3 seconds. The control is
locked when a single beep is heard and the Control Locked
status light is on.
■
When the dryer is off, it is not necessary to press the Control
On button before activating the Control Locked feature.
To unlock:
Press and hold the SIGNALS button for 3 seconds to turn this
feature off.
NOTE: When the dryer is running and Control Locked is on, the
dryer can be stopped by pressing the Pause/Cancel button, but
can’t be restarted until the control is unlocked.
Drying and Cycle Tips
Select the correct cycle and dryness level or temperature for your
load. If an Automatic Cycle is running, the display shows the
estimated cycle time when your dryer is automatically sensing
the dryness level of your load. If a Manual 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.
