screen before starting a cycle. The light turns off when you open

Indicator lights
Other indicator lights show what cycle, options and modifiers
have been selected. The display lights also show the estimated
or actual Time Remaining.
Select the drying cycle that matches the type of load you are
drying. A preset range of heat is automatically set for the type of
fabric selected. (See "Drying and Cycle Tips" chart.)
When you select a cycle, your dryer selects a preset temperature,
Auto Dryness Level (Normal Dry) and either Auto Dry (Estimated)
or Timed Dry (Actual) Time Remaining. The time displayed for the
Auto Dry cycles are estimated times. Partway through the cycle,
the dryer turns the Auto Dry (Estimated) Time Remaining
indicator light off and displays the actual time remaining on the
display. The Timed Dry (Actual) indicator light will glow only if a
Timed Dry cycle was selected. (See "Modifiers.")
