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 SHIELD™ Setting
The WRINKLE SHIELD™ 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 SHIELD™ setting to get up to 120 minutes
of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle.
■ Stop the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting at any time by pressing
WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting or opening the dryer door.
■ For the Perm Press/Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™
setting is preset to ON. The other Automatic Cycles will retain
the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting. For example, if you select the
WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting in the Normal cycle, the WRINKLE
SHIELD™ setting will be on the next time you select the Normal
cycle.
NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting, the
dryer stops after cool down.
Damp Dry Signal
Select the Damp Dry Signal 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.
Time*
The Damp Dry Signal is useful when drying bedsheets/linens in a
(Minutes)
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
20 - 30
the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load will aid in
20 - 30
the drying process.
NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the Automatic
40 - 50
Cycles.

cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the cycle
reduces wrinkling.
Press END OF CYCLE SIGNAL until the desired volume (Loud, Soft,
