Changing the Sensor Cycle
Settings to Increase Drying Time
If all your loads on all Sensor Cycles are consistently not as
dry as you would like, you may change the default
settings to increase the default dryness level.
Your sensor drying settings can be adjusted to adapt to
different installations, environmental conditions or personal
preference. This change is retained and will affect all of your
Sensor Cycles, not just the current cycle/load. There are 3
drying settings, which are displayed using the Cycle Status
light (Wet, Damp, Cool Down LEDs)
1 Factory preset dryness level.
2 Slightly drier clothes, 15% more drying time.
3 Much drier clothes, 30% more drying time.
To change the drying settings (on some models):
NOTE: The settings cannot be changed while the dryer is
running or paused. The dryer must be in standby mode (the
power button is off) to adjust the default settings.
1. Before starting a cycle, press and hold the TEMP button
for 6 seconds.
2. Press the TEMP button to select the dryness level
shown in the cycle status light display: Wet light on
= level 1, Wet and Damp lights on = level 2, and Wet,
Damp and Cool Down lights on = level 3.
3. Press START/PAUSE to save the new dryness level
setting.
Vacation, storage, and moving care
Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because
some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage
your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing
weather, winterize it.

be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended
period of time, you should:
