Options
You can customize your cycles by selecting options.
Drum Light
On some models, select Drum Light to turn on the light inside the dryer drum. During a cycle,
if Drum Light is selected, the drum light turns on and will remain on until DRUM LIGHT is
pressed again, the door is opened and closed, or the door is left open for 5 minutes.
When the dryer is not running, the drum light will turn on when DRUM LIGHT is pressed or
the dryer door is opened, and it will remain on until the dryer door has been open for
5 minutes, the dryer door is closed or DRUM LIGHT is pressed again.
Press DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light ON or OFF.
Wrinkle Prevent Setting
The Wrinkle Prevent setting helps keep wrinkles from forming when you cannot unload the
dryer promptly at the end of a cycle. During this option, the dryer stops tumbling and then
tumbles again for a brief period.
Press the Wrinkle Prevent setting to get up to 120 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling
at the end of a cycle.
Stop the WRINKLE PREVENT at any time by pressing Wrinkle Prevent setting or opening
the dryer door.
For the Wrinkle Control Cycle, the Wrinkle Prevent setting is preset to ON. The other
Sensor Dry Cycles will retain the Wrinkle Prevent setting. For example, if you select the
Wrinkle Prevent setting in the Normal cycle, the Wrinkle Prevent setting will be on the
next time you select the Normal cycle.
NOTE: If you do not select the Wrinkle Prevent setting, the dryer stops after cool down.
Damp Dry Chime
Select the Damp Dry Chime 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 Chime 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 Chime is available only with the Sensor Dry Cycles.
End of Cycle Signal
End of Cycle Signal
The End of Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying cycle is finished.
Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle reduces wrinkling.
Press END OF CYCLE SIGNAL until the desired volume (High, Low or Off) is selected.
NOTE: When the Wrinkle Prevent setting is selected and the End of Cycle Signal is on, a tone
sounds every 5 minutes until the clothes are removed, or the Wrinkle Prevent setting ends.
