Status Lights

You may follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.

Timed Cycle

The Timed Cycle light glows green during a Timed Cycle.

Wet

The Wet light glows green at the beginning of Auto Dry if a wet item is detected or in a timed cycle after 5 minutes.

■In an Auto Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after 5 minutes, the dryer will run for a preset minimum run time (based on the selected cycle and dryness level setting) and then go into Cool Down. The Cool Down and WRINKLE GUARD® indicators will glow green, if selected.

■In a Timed Cycle, the Wet light will glow green after 5 minutes and remain on until the dryer enters Cool Down.

Damp

The Damp light glows green in an Auto Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove partially dry items that may need ironing. To be alerted when the load is about 80% dry, you may use the damp dry signal option. See Damp Dry Signal in “Options.”

Cool Down

The Cool Down light glows green during the cool down part of the cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling.

Clothes Dry

The Clothes Dry light glows green when the drying cycle is finished. This indicator stays on during WRINKLE GUARD®.

WRINKLE GUARD®

The WRINKLE GUARD® light glows green when this option is selected. This indicator stays on with Clothes Dry.

Sensing/Revising Est. Time

The Sensing/Revising Est. Time light glows green when moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum are measuring the amount of moisture in the clothes. The estimated time display may adjust to show a more accurate drying time.

Indicator lights

Other indicator lights show Cycle, Options, Modifiers, End of Cycle and Control Lock settings selected. The display shows the estimated or actual time remaining.

Cycles

Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are drying. See Auto Dry chart or Timed Preset Cycle Settings chart.

Auto Cycles

Auto Cycles allow you to match the cycle to the load you are drying. See the following Auto Dry Preset Cycle Settings chart. Each cycle dries certain fabrics at the recommended temperature. A sensor detects the moisture in the load and automatically adjusts the drying time for optimal drying.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to get high heat for heavyweight mixed loads, cotton towels or bedspreads.

Jeans

Use this cycle to get medium high heat for drying denims.

Bulky/Bedding

Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying large items that require long drying times, such as jackets, comforters and pillows. Rearrange the load when the Damp Dry Signal sounds. This will aid in the drying process. The Damp Dry Signal is preset to ON. See “Options.”

Normal

Use this cycle to get medium heat for drying sturdy fabrics such as work clothes and sheets.

Casual

Use this cycle to get low heat for drying no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, casual business clothes and permanent press blends.
