it stops, wrinkles can form. The WRINKLE SHIELD™ Plus feature
periodically tumbles, rearranges and fluffs the load without heat
to avoid wrinkles.
The WRINKLE SHIELD™ Plus selector lets you choose 30 or 90
minutes of periodic unheated tumble after the cycle ends.

Plus feature is on, if the End of Cycle Signal is selected. The
signal and the tumbling will end when you open the dryer door or
turn the Cycle Control knob to "Off."
