Status Lights

Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator lights.

Wet

The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of a Sensor Dry Cycle if a wet item is detected.

In a Sensor Dry Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after approximately 5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Cool Down and the Cool Down and WRINKLE PREVENT indicators illuminate, if selected.

In a Timed Dry Cycle, wet items are not detected. The dryer will continue to run for the length of time selected, and the Wet light will illuminate. The damp light will not illuminate.

Damp

The Damp light illuminates in a Sensor Dry Cycle when the laundry is approximately 80% dry.

Cool Down

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