THEORY OF OPERATION

on the Whirlpool 27˝ design, refer to Job Aid #4322260.
CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS
Automatic Cycles
The automatic cycles use a moisture sensor to detect the surface conductivity of the
clothes. There are five dryness levels that can be selected. Refer to the Default Set-
tings table for the valid default settings for each. Drying temperatures are determined
by the automatic cycle selected and cannot be changed.
For any of the automatic cycles, the total time of the cycle is dependent upon the
load size and moisture content. The maximum allowable cycle time for any of the
automatic cycles is 150 minutes. This time includes the add-on time and COOL
DOWN, but does not include WRINKLE SHIELD, which is up to an additional 120
minutes.
A cycle must be selected before any automatic cycle can be modified. The auto-
matic cycle keys are not valid once the cycle has been started. During an auto-
matic cycle, the 7-segment display will show an estimated time until the add-on
portion of the cycle. At that point, the Estimated Time LED will turn off, and the
actual time will be displayed.
Add-On-Time
Add-On-Time is an additional timed portion added to the automatic cycle when the
sensor can no longer detect the small levels of moisture remaining in the clothes
load. The Add-On-Time is necessary to complete the drying cycle to the dryness
level selected. The Add-On-Time is variable and is based on the overall drying
time and moisture reduction performance during the cycle.
Soft Heat
Soft heat is the Extra Low temperature setting used in the last five minutes of a
timed cycle. Soft heat is not used in the automatic cycles.
