Turn the Cycle Selector to select a desired cycle. When a cycle is selected, the cycle indicator lights up.

• Steam Cycles (DVE(G)50R5400* models only): The dryer sprays water into the drum to deodorize clothes and reduce static electricity and wrinkles.
• Manual Dry: The drying time is fixed.

Press to select a dry level. You can select from 5 different options (Less to More). Please refer to following recommendations to select the appropriate dryness.

• For larger or bulkier loads, select More for complete dryness.

NOTE

This option is not available with REFRESH, WRINKLE AWAY, STEAM SANITIZE , ACTIVEWEAR, TIME DRY, QUICK DRY, and AIR FLUFF.

Temperature can only be adjusted in TIME DRY and WRINKLE RELEASE cycles.

Press to change the temperature of the current cycle. You can select from 5 different options (Low to High). Please select the appropriate temperature depending on the items in the load.

• High: For sturdy cottons or those labeled Tumble Dry.
• Medium: For permanent press, synthetics, lightweight cottons, or items labeled Tumble Dry Medium.
• Low: For heat sensitive items labeled Tumble Dry Low or Tumble Dry Warm. Provides the lowest heated drying temperature possible.

This function is available with NORMAL and TIME DRY. With the Eco Dry activated, drying takes a longer time but the power consumption is reduced.

The drying time can be extended by up to 3 times depending on the temperature and load. The Eco Dry function is enabled by default.

This alert is available for all Sensor Dry cycles except for SANITIZE and ACTIVEWEAR. Available dry levels are Normal, More, and Extra.

If a load contains mixed fabrics, the Damp Alert indicator blinks when average dryness of the items in the load is 80 % dry. This lets you take items that you don’t want fully dried or that dry quickly out of the dryer early while letting others continue to dry.

For exercise wear and outdoor wear such as sports jerseys, training pants, water-repellent jackets, and other performance clothing.

Thick fabrics like a zipper or velcro closure of a jacket, or training socks may not be completely dried.

Follow the care label instructions or dry using BEDDING.

• Make sure the item is thoroughly dry before using or storing.
• May require repositioning in the drum to ensure even drying.

Use NORMAL and dry only one blanket at a time for best tumbling action.

• Make sure blankets are thoroughly dry before using or storing.

Use PERM PRESS and the Medium temperature setting to help minimize wrinkling.

• Dry curtains and draperies in small loads for best results and remove as soon as possible.

Use NORMAL and the Medium temperature setting.

• Add a couple of dry towels to absorb moisture and shorten drying time.

Do not dry on a heat setting.

WARNING

Drying a rubber item with heat may damage it or cause a fire.

Use NORMAL.

• Add a couple of dry towels and a pair of clean sneakers to help the tumbling action and to fluff the items.
• Do not dry kapok or foam pillows using a heated drying cycle.

• Make sure the door is latched shut.
• Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
• Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
• Press or tap Start/Pause (Hold to Start) again if the door is opened during a cycle.
• Clean the lint filter.

• Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
• Some cycles do not require heating. Check the selected cycle again.
• For a gas dryer, make sure the gas supply is on.
• Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
• The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
• Turn off the Eco Dry option for the NORMAL or TIME DRY cycles. When the Eco Dry option is on, the dryer performs an air dry process in the beginning of the cycle to reduce energy consumption. The air dry process does not use heated air, so you may feel that the dryer is not being heated, but this is normal.

• Check all of the above, plus...
• Make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely.
• Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.
• Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Dry heavy items and light weight items separately.
• Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may require repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Make sure that your washer is draining properly and extracting adequate water from the load.
• The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels and restart the dryer.
• The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
• Clean the lint filter.

• Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
• Make sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instructions.
• It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system.

• Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose a higher dryness level or a cycle that involves a higher dryness level.
• If one heavy item is dried with a light weight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level.
• For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light weight items separately.

• Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler, and exhausts it outside.
• When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the room before using the dryer.
• Use a cycle featuring the Refresh function. If odors persist, wash and dry the item again.
• Use the REFRESH cycle (DVE(G)50R5400* models only). If odors persist, wash and dry the items again.

• Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. For clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the filter during the cycle.
• Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they must be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants).
• Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
• Check pockets thoroughly before drying, then dry clothes.
• Remove lint inside the drum before drying.

• Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
• Load fewer items. Load similar-type items.
• Take out the items immediately after drying is complete.

• This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.

• Sprayed water is difficult to see when the door is closed.

• Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level is reached. The drying time can change according to the type and amount of laundry. See the cycle chart for reference.
