Sensing/Estimated Time Remaining
• In an Automatic Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates until a wet
item is detected.
• In the Timed Cycle, the Sensing light illuminates at the beginning
of a cycle and turns off 5 minutes into the cycle.
NOTE: Moisture sensing strips inthe dryer measure the amount of
moisture in the clothes. The estimated time display may adjust to
show a more accurate drying time.
Wet
The Wet light illuminates at the beginning of an Automatic Cycle if a
wet item is detected.
• In an Automatic Cycle, if a wet item is not detected after
approximately 5 minutes, the dryer goes directly into Cool Down
and the Cool Down and the WRINKLE SHIELD TM setting
indicators illuminate, if selected.
• In a Timed 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.
In the Enhanced Touch Up or the Quick Refresh Steam
Cycles, the Wet light comes on after the water has been
sprayed into the drum, 4-5 minutes into the cycle. The Wet
light illuminates until the dryer goes into Cool Down with
1 minute of time remaining.
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.
Cool Down
The Cool Down light illuminates during the cool down part of the
cycle. Laundry cools for ease in handling.
Done
The Done light illuminates when the drying cycle isfinished. This
indicator stays on during the WRINKLE SHIELD TM (90) setting.
WRINKLE SHIELD TM (90) Feature
When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer
as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD TM
(90) feature periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load to
help keep wrinkles from forming.
• Get up to 90 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the
end of a cycle. Press the WRINKLE SHIELD TM (90) button to
turn ON or OFF at any time before the cycle has ended.
• The WRINKLE SHIELD TM (90) feature is preset to "OFF." If
selected for other cycles, the WRINKLE SHIELD TM (90)feature
setting will remain "ON" the next time that cycle is selected.
Signal
The Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is
finished. Press the SIGNAL button to turn On or Off at any time
before the cycle has ended.
NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD TM (90) feature is selected
and the Signal is on, an audible sound will be emitted every
20 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the WRINKLE
SHIELD TM (90) feature is finished.
Indicator Lights
Other indicator lights show Cycle, Modifiers, Options, and Signal
settings selected. The display shows the estimated or actual time
remaining.
This feature allows you to lock your settings to avoid unintended
use of the dryer. You can also use the Control Lock feature to
