Damp Dry Signal

On some models, the Damp Dry Signal may be selected to alert you that your clothes are approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove partially dry items that may need ironing.

The DAMP DRY SIGNAL is useful when drying bedsheets/linens in a mixed load. When the signal goes off, open the door to stop the dryer, rearrange the load inside the dryer, close the door and restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load will aid in the drying process.

NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic Cycles. The Damp Dry Signal is not a selectable option for the Sanitize cycle.

Cycle Signal

The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished.

Press until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off) glows green.

NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is selected and the End of Cycle Signal is on, an audible sound will be emitted every 5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE SHIELD™ feature is finished.

Button Sound

You can change the volume of the sound of the beeps. Press until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off) glows green. The Power and Cancel buttons will still beep softly even when the Button Sound volume is set to Off.

Control Lock/Unlock

This feature allows you to lock your settings to avoid unintended use of the dryer. You can also use the Control Lock feature to avoid unintended cycle or option changes during dryer operation.

To enable the Control Lock feature when dryer is running:

Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK/UNLOCK button for

3 seconds. The control is locked when a double beep is heard and the Control Lock status light is on.

When the dryer is off, it is not necessary to press the Control On button before activating the Control Lock feature.

To unlock:

Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK/UNLOCK button for 3 seconds to turn this feature off.

NOTE: When the dryer is running and Control Lock is on, the dryer can be stopped by pressing the Pause/Cancel button, but cannot be restarted until the control is unlocked.

Changing the Preset Dryness Level Settings

If all your loads on all Auto Dry cycles are consistently not as dry as you would like, you may change the preset Dryness Level settings to increase the dryness. This change will affect all of your Auto Dry cycles.

Your Dryness Level settings can be adjusted to adapt to different installations, environmental conditions or personal preference. There are 3 drying settings: 1 (factory preset dryness level),

NOTE: While cycling through the settings, the current setting will not flash, but the other settings will flash.
