CYCLE OPTIONS

Use these buttons to select available options for your dryer.

Not all cycles and options are available on all models.

Wrinkle Prevent/Wrinkle Prevent with Steam

(on some models)

If you will be unable to remove a load immediately,

press Wrinkle Prevent to add up to 150 minutes of periodic

tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On models with Wrinkle

Prevent with Steam, a short steam cycle is added after 60

minutes to help smooth out wrinkles.
Drum Light

Press to turn the drum light on or off. The light will

also turn on when the door is open, and turn off

automatically after about 5 minutes.
Damp Dry Signal

When selected, a signal will sound during the drying

cycle when the load is damp but not completely dry. This

will allow you to take clothes out of the load that do not

need to dry completely. This option is available on Heavy

Duty, Normal, Denim, Bulky, Wrinkle

Control, Sheets, Active Wear, Towels and Delicate cycles.
NOTE: The Damp Dry signal defaults to “ON” when

using the Bulky cycle.
Cycle Signal

Use this button to turn the signal indicating the end

of a drying cycle on or off, or to adjust the volume of

the signal.
NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when a

button is pressed. Press and hold the Cycle Signal button

for about three seconds to turn button sounds

on or off.
Reduce Static (on some models)

Press to add the Reduce Static option to selected Sensor

cycles (see Cycle Guide). The dryer will automatically

tumble, pause, and introduce a small amount of moisture

into the load to help reduce static. This option adds

approximately 8 minutes to the total cycle time.
Steam Boost (on some models)

Steam Boost adds steam to the end of the Heavy Duty,

Bulky, Normal, Sheets, Towels, or Denim cycle to help

smooth wrinkles.

Airflow

This indicator will show the status of airflow through

the dryer during Sensor cycles. The Detecting light comes on

during the sensing phase at the beginning of cycle.

The Good light will come on if no major vent blockage is

detected. The Check Vent light will come on if a blocked

vent or low airflow issue is detected. For more information on

maintaining good airflow, see “Check Your Vent System

for Good Airflow”. The Airflow sensing feature is available for

Sensor cycles only.
NOTE: If there are other error issues during a cycle, the

Airflow indicator will not light up. See “Dryer Displaying Code

Message” in “Troubleshooting”section.
Steam (on some models)

This indicator will light when the Steam function is active.
NOTE: Steam options are not available on all models

or on all cycles.
Done

This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the

load may be removed from the dryer. If the Wrinkle Prevent

option has been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble

the load, even if the DONE indicator is lit.
Check Lint Screen

The Check Lint Screen indicator will light when the drying

cycle is complete as a reminder to clean the lint screen.
Wrinkle Prevent

This indicator will light if the Wrinkle Prevent option

has been selected and is running. The dryer will continue

to periodically tumble the load for up to 150 minutes

(depending on model and selected settings) after the

cycle has ended.
