Opening the door will stop this feature. NOTE: A signal will sound periodically when the Wrinkle Control setting is selected, but only if the End of Cycle Signal is also selected. Not all features, cycles, and options are available on all models. Appearance may vary. 3. WRINKLE CONTROL Feature (on some models) 4. PUSH TO START/END OF CYCLE SIGNAL When you are unable to remove a load of clothes from the dryer as soon as it stops, wrinkles can form. The Wrinkle Control option periodically tumbles, rearranges, and fluffs the load to help keep wrinkles from forming.  Get up to 90 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end of a cycle.
