Sensor Cycles
Use Sensor Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings. The dryer senses moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness level. If settings are changed, the new settings will be remembered. If there is a power failure, settings will return to the default. Not all features and cycles are available on all models. Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.
NOTE:Temperatures shown in bold are the default settings for that cycle. Note that you cannot adjust the time with these cycles.
