On some models, select Drum Light to turn on the light inside 

 

the dryer drum. During a cycle, if Drum Light is selected, the 

 

drum light turns on and will remain on until DRUM LIGHT is 
pressed again, the door is opened and closed, or will turn off 

 

after 5 minutes.
When the dryer is not running, the drum light will turn on when 
DRUM LIGHT is pressed or the dryer door is opened, and it will 
remain on until the dryer door has been open for 5 minutes, the 
dryer door is closed or DRUM LIGHT is pressed again. 
Press DRUM LIGHT at any time to turn the drum light ON or OFF.

The WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting helps keep wrinkles from forming 
when you cannot unload the dryer promptly at the end of a cycle. 
During this option, the dryer stops tumbling and then tumbles 
again for a brief period.

■

Press the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting to get up to 
120 minutes of heat-free, periodic tumbling at the end 

 

of a cycle.

■

Stop the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting at any time by pressing 
WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting or opening the dryer door.

■

For the Perm Press/Casual Cycle, the WRINKLE SHIELD™ 
setting is preset to ON. The other Automatic Cycles will retain 
the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting. For example, if you select the 
WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting in the Normal cycle, the 
WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting will be on the next time you 
select the Normal cycle.

NOTE: If you do not select the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting, the 
dryer stops after cool down.

Select the Damp Dry Signal to alert you that your clothes are 
approximately 80% dry. This is useful when you want to remove 
lightweight items in a mixed load to avoid overdrying or remove 
partially dry items that may need ironing.
The Damp Dry Signal is useful when drying bedsheets/linens in 

 

a mixed load. When the signal goes off, open the door to stop 

 

the dryer, rearrange the load inside the dryer, close the door and 
restart the dryer to finish the drying cycle. Rearranging the load 
will aid in the drying process.
NOTE: The Damp Dry Signal is available only with the 
Automatic Cycles.

The Cycle Signal produces an audible sound when the drying 
cycle is finished. Promptly removing clothes at the end of the 
cycle reduces wrinkling.
Press CYCLE SIGNAL until the desired volume (Loud, Soft, or Off) 
is selected.
NOTE: When the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting is selected and the 
Cycle Signal is on, a tone sounds every 5 minutes until the clothes 
are removed, or the WRINKLE SHIELD™ setting ends.

Follow the progress of your dryer with the drying Status indicator
