Changing the Automatic Cycle Settings to Increase Drying Time

If all your loads on all Automatic cycles are consistently not as dry as you would like, you may change the default settings to increase the default dryness level.

Your automatic drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions or personal preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your Automatic cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are 3 drying settings, which are displayed using the Cycle Status light (Wet, Damp, Cool Down LEDs)

1Factory preset dryness level.

2Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.

3Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.

To change the drying settings (on some models):

NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer is running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode (the power button is off) to adjust the default settings.

1.Before starting a cycle, press and hold the TEMP button for 6 seconds.

2.Press the TEMP button to select the dryness level shown in the cycle status light display: Wet light on = level 1, Wet and Damp lights on = level 2, and Wet, Damp and Cool Down lights on = level 3.

3.Press START/PAUSE to save the new dryness level setting.
