How

Automatic

Cycles

Work

This feature

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

tumble.

An

electronic

control

determines

the

load

type

to help

save time,

avoid

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

Drying

tips

•

Follow

care

label

directions

when

they

are available.

•

If desired,

add

a fabric

softener

sheet.

Follow

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.

•

Avoid

drying

heavy

work

clothes

with

lighter

fabrics.

This could

cause

overdrying

of

lighter

fabrics,

leading

to increased

shrinking

or wrinkling.
