End of Cycle Signal Control
(on some models)
The End of Cycle signal sounds when a cycle is complete. On some models, the End of Cycle Signal is fixed. On other models, the End of Cycle Signal is selectable and the signal will sound only if set to On.
If the WRINKLE PREVENT feature is selected and the End of Cycle Signal is on, the signal sounds every few minutes. The signal stops when you open the door or turn the Cycle Control knob to Off.
