How

Automatic

Drying

Works

When

you

are using

the

Auto

Moisture

Sensing

Cycle,

the

dryness

of the

load

is determined

by two

metal

strips/sensors)

located

on the

inside

of the dryer.

The metal

strips

help

"feel"

the

amount

of

moisture

left in the clothes

as they

pass. When

moisture

is left

in the

clothes,

the

Cycle

Control

knob

will

not advance.

As clothes

begin

to dry,

the

amount

of water

left in the

clothes

decreases,

and

the timer

advances

through

the

remainder

of the cycle.

When

the

selected

dryness

level

is reached,

the dryer

goes

into

a cool

down

period

of up to 10

minutes.

Restarting

You can

stop your

dryer

a cycle.
