interruption of natural gas (gas

Type of heat Drying time will vary according to the type of heat used. If you recently

changed from an electric to a gas (natural or LP) dryer, or vice versa, the

drying time could be different.

Type of load and drying

conditions

The load size, types of fabric, wetness of clothes and the length and

condition of the exhaust system will affect drying times.

future, when drying a load with collars and waistbands, choose More Dry.
