The Difference Between Automatic and Timed Drying

Operating

Automatic Drying (Electronic) (on some models)

When using the Automatic Cycles, the Electronic Sensor Control system continually senses the moisture in the tumbling clothes, determines when they are dried to your pre-selected setting, and terminates the cycle automatically. The Cycle Selector will not advance until clothes have reached a certain degree of dryness.

Timed Drying

When using the Timed Cycles, you select the number of minutes you wish the dryer to run and it turns off at the end of this time period.
