What is the Air Dry cycle used for?
This no-heat cycle tumbles items in room-temperature air.
The drum turns and moves air through the load without energizing the heating system. It can freshen items or complete air-safe drying without added heat.
Choose another cycle for: Very wet heavy loads that require heat to dry in a practical time.
What this means for your load
The dryer offers selectable timed settings from 20 to 60 minutes. This is not a measured drying duration.
Why the time may change: Because the time is selected manually, fabric moisture and airflow determine whether one setting is enough.

This range is calculated from the documented cycle characteristics and appliance type. It is deliberately shown as a range because load conditions, temperature selections, sensors and options change consumption.
