A:Answer Great question, Bluegillboy! This will actually depend on which cycle is selected. This model offers both "sensor dry" cycles and "manual dry" cycles. The manual dry cycles are generally time based, and will run for the designated time then stop, regardless if the clothes are dry or not. However, the sensor dry cycles use moisture sensors inside the drum to automatically stop the cycle once the items are dry, or even extend the cycle if they are not dry. ^Jecca
