How Auto Moisture Sensing Plus works
EvenHeat
TM
improves drying performance with Auto Moisture
Sensing Plus, which advances the cycle as moisture is
extracted from clothing. A thermistor (electronic temperature
sensor) and moisture sensing strips in the dryer drum help
measure the amount of moisture in the clothes as they pass.
An electronic control determines the load type to help save
time, prevent overdrying, and increase the accuracy of the
end dryness level. After the first 5 minutes of an automatic
cycle, the estimated time display will adjust based on the
approximate load size, cycle, dryness level selected and
amount of moisture left in the clothes. When the clothes have
reached approximately 80% of the dryness level selected, the
estimated time display will adjust again, showing the final
drying time. Auto Moisture Sensing Plus takes the guesswork
out of drying time and enhances fabric care.
To stop your dryer at any time
Press STOP twice or open the door.
To pause the dryer at any time
Open the door or press STOP once.
To restart the dryer
Close the door and press START.
NOTE: Drying will continue from where the cycle was interrupted
if you close the door and press START within 5 minutes. If the
cycle is interrupted for more than 5 minutes, the dryer will shut
off. You will need to select new cycle settings before restarting
the dryer.
Properly loading your dryer can lower your utility bill and prolong
the life of your garments.
Loading suggestions
• Load the dryer by the amount of space items take up, not by
their weight.
• Do not overload the dryer. This causes uneven drying and
wrinkling.

Select the correct cycle and temperature for your load.
The display shows the estimated cycle time when your dryer is
automatically sensing the dryness level of your load. If a cycle is
using Manual Dry, the display shows the exact number of
minutes remaining in the cycle.
Cool Down tumbles the load without heat during the last few
minutes of all cycles. Cool Down makes the loads easier to
handle. The length of the Cool Down depends on the load size
and dryness level.
Drying tips
• Follow care label directions when they are available.
• If you use fabric softener sheets, follow the package
instructions.
• Remove the load from the dryer as soon as tumbling stops to
reduce wrinkling. This is especially important for permanent
press, knits, and synthetic fabrics.
Cycle tips
• Dry most loads using the preset cycle settings.
Use this chart as a guide to dry various loads. Drying
temperature and Auto Dry Level (Normal Dry) are preset when
you choose an Auto Dry cycle. You can select a different
dryness level, depending on your load (see "Modifiers").
• For a Timed cycle, drying temperature is preset, but the time
can be adjusted.
