Drying Status Lights
You can monitor the progress of your load with the Drying Status
lights.
Dryng Status
• Sensing
The Sensing light flashes at the start of the load when the
electronic moisture sensor is searching for wetness.
• Wet
Once the moisture sensor detects wetness in the load,
the Wet light flashes until the moisture sensor can no
longer detect wetness in the clothes.
• Damp
The Damp light flashes after the moisture sensor no
longer detects wetness in the clothes. At this point, the
clothes are approximately 80% dry. You may want to
remove lightweight items in a mixed load to prevent
overdrying or remove partially dry items to hang up to
save on ironing. The Damp light will flash for
approximately two minutes.
• Drying/Cool Down
The Drying/Cool Down light will continue to flash until
Cool Down is completed. The Drying/Cool Down light will
also flash if a Timed Cycle has been selected and the
Sensing light does not detect any moisture in the clothes.
