Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. Not all features and cycles are available on all models.
Not all settings and options are available on each cycle. Default cycle times are estimated in minutes.
Use Sensor Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level.
Use the NORMAL dryness level to provide optimal energy savings. Use Sensor/Eco cycles on their default settings for optimal
energy savings.

as bedding, towels, and baby wear.
This cycle is not recommended for
all fabrics. For best results, run cycle
to completion, do not interrupt.
Offers stepped drying starting
with High heat followed by Medium
†
heat for enhanced fabric care
and energy savings.
Use for drying large, bulky items;
† do not overfill dryer drum. Partway
through the cycle, the signal will
sound for 2 minutes to indicate
when it is time to rearrange items
for optimal drying.
Uses Medium heat to dry large
