What is the Heavy Duty cycle used for?
This cycle is intended for durable, thick or bulky loads that retain more moisture.
The dryer uses sensor feedback and a heat profile suited to substantial items. Large pieces should have room to tumble and separate.
Choose another cycle for: Overfilling the drum or mixing delicate items into a heavy load.
What this means for your load
Sensor cycle for heavy fabrics such as jeans and work clothes. Check the appliance display for its current estimate.
Why the time may change: Load mass, tangling, washer spin speed and restricted vent airflow can add considerable time.

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.
