What is the Steam Sanitize+ cycle used for?
This steam-assisted program is intended to refresh garments and reduce light wrinkles rather than wash them.
The dryer introduces moisture or steam while tumbling, then continues the programmed treatment. Results depend on garment count and fabric.
Choose another cycle for: Soaking-wet loads, stain removal or garments that cannot tolerate steam or tumble drying.
What this means for your load
High-temperature steam-assisted treatment where equipped. Check the appliance display for its current estimate.
Why the time may change: Garment count and selected modifiers determine the duration.

When will it finish?
This sensor or variable cycle ends according to the selected settings and load conditions. Use the dryer's current estimate if it displays one.
Estimated energy and local cost
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.
Planning the Steam Sanitize+ cycle on the DVE55CG7500E
Sanitize-style programs may hold a target temperature or add extended heat and tumbling. Incoming temperature and load conditions can therefore affect both duration and energy use.
On the Samsung DVE55CG7500E, watch for fabric weight, retained moisture, airflow and sensor-dry targets. Separate heavy and light fabrics when finish time matters, and clean the lint filter before the load.
The planning range on this page is 2.3–6.2 kWh; use the ZIP or bill-rate calculator for a local cost estimate. The exact-model reference is linked from samsung.com, while estimates are labeled separately.
