Damp Dry Signal
Touch to turn the Damp Dry Signal on or off. When
selected, a series of beeps will sound 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 some cycles.
The Damp Dry signal is selected as a default for the
Bulky Items/Normal, Bulky Items/Wrinkle Control,
and Bulky Items/Heavy Duty cycles, as a reminder
to manually reposition bulky loads midway through
the cycle.
Reduce Static (on some models)
Touch to add the Reduce Static option to selected
Automatic cycles. The dryer will automatically tumble,
pause, and introduce a small amount of moisture
into the load to help reduce static. This option adds
approximately 3 minutes to the total cycle time.
Control Lock
Use this option to lock the controls of the dryer
and avoid an accidental change in cycle options
or preferences during a drying cycle.
Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK or DAMP DRY
SIGNAL (depending on the model) for 3 seconds to
lock or unlock the controls of the dryer. During this
time, the LED Display will count down “3-2-1.”
Once the controls are locked, the LED Display
will display “Loc.”
NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled
when recovering from a power failure. To unlock the
control, touch and hold CONTROL LOCK or DAMP
DRY SIGNAL (depending on the model) for at least
3 seconds.
EcoBoost™ Option
The EcoBoost™ option will default on only for the
Regular/Normal cycle and is only available on that
cycle. This option allows you to increase your energy
savings by using a slightly lower heat level. The
EcoBoost™ option will increase drying times by
approximately 40 minutes, which will be reflected
on the LED Display. If optimal time is desired, touch
ECOBOOST to turn off this option.
LED DISPLAY
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up
and the Estimated Time Remaining (for Automatic Cycles)
will vary depending on “What to Dry” and “How to Dry”
selections, or actual time remaining for Timed Dry cycles
(for Manual Cycles) will be displayed.
CYCLE STATUS INDICATORS
The Cycle Status Indicators show the progress of a cycle.
Not all indicators are available on all models.
Sensing
The Sensing indicator will light periodically during Sensor
Cycles to indicate that the moisture sensor on the dryer is
operating. This indicator will not light during Timed Cycles
or options such as Wrinkle Shield™.

Wet
The load is still wet and/or the cycle just started.
Damp
This indicator shows that the load is partially dried and
items that you may wish to hang up or iron while still
damp may be removed.
Cool Down
The dryer has finished drying with heat and is now
tumbling the load without heat to cool it down.
Check Vent
The Check Vent indicator is a feature available for
Automatic cycles only. This indicator will show the status
of airflow through the dryer and the dryer vent system
for the dryer’s life. During the sensing phase at the
beginning of the cycle, the Check Vent light will come on
if a blocked vent or low airflow issue is detected. This light
will stay on for the entire cycle. Should the Check Vent
light illuminate, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section
for potential solutions to the issue.
The light will be cleared upon completion of the cycle,
touching Power, or opening the door. The Check Vent light
will continue to illuminate during the cycle unless the root
cause is resolved.
REMEMBER: The dryer will continue to operate even
while the indicator is lit, but poor airflow can impact dry
times and overall performance. For more information on
maintaining good airflow, see “Check Your Vent System
for Good Airflow.”
NOTE: If there are other error issues during a cycle,
the Check Vent indicator will not light up. See the
“Troubleshooting” section.
End
This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended
and the load may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle
Shield™ has been selected, the dryer may continue to
tumble the load, even if “End” is displayed.
Control Lock
This will illuminate once the controls are locked.
Appearance may vary.
