CYCLE GUIDE — SENSOR CYCLES
Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. Not all features and cycles are available on all models. Not all settings and options are available on each cycle. Default cycle times are estimated in minutes.
Use Sensor Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level.
Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings. Use Sensor/Eco cycles on their default settings for optimal energy savings.
