Cycle Information
The following cycle descriptions will help determine which cycle to choose depending on the type of laundry being dried. The cycle
settings may be modified using the Selections and Options. Cycle availability varies by model.
Auto-Sensing
The Auto-Sensing drying cycle operation is determined by the type of cycle selected as well as the moisture sensing system, which can be
set by changing the Dryness setting. Auto-Sensing cycles are Energy Saver cycles that help prevent over-drying. When a wet load is put into
the dryer it takes a certain amount of time to reach the desired dryness level. The time will vary with load size, type of fabric, amount of
moisture in the load, air flow and the laundry room environment.

Select the Auto-Sensing cycle and Dryness setting desired. Temperature is set based on the cycle selected.
DR5:
Set Cycle Selection to Auto-Sensing, the Fabric Selector to the desired cycle setting, and Auto-Dryness to the desired dryness
level.
