Sensing
The Sensing indicator will light 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 Prevent.
Wet
The load is still wet and/or the cycle just started.
Damp
The load still has moisture remaining, a good point in the cycle to remove a garment to air dry or iron.
Cool Down
The dryer has finished drying with heat and is now tumbling the load without heat to cool it down and reduce wrinkling.
End
This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the load may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle Prevent has been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble the load, even if “End” is displayed.
Check Vent
The Check Vent indicator is a feature available for Sensor 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 blockedvent or low airflow issue is detected. This light will stay on for the entire cycle. Should the Check Vent light illuminate, refer to the online“Troubleshooting” section for potential solutions to the issue. The light will be cleared upon completion of the cycle, touching Power, or opening the door. It will continue to illuminate during the cycle unlessthe root cause is resolved.
