What is the Time Dry cycle used for?
This sensor cycle is intended for an ordinary load that matches the selected fabric and dryness setting.
Moisture sensing monitors the load and adjusts or ends the cycle when the selected dryness is reached, so there is no reliable single run time.
Choose another cycle for: Mixing very heavy and very light fabrics, which can confuse the dryness result.
What this means for your load
Manual drying with a selected duration. Check the appliance display for its current estimate.
Why the time may change: Load size, washer spin speed, fabric, vent length and lint buildup can all change the duration.
Check the full Samsung DVG47CG3500V cycle table to compare other programs before starting.
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.
