Some dryers say 9, 12, & 14 cycle. What does cycle mean?? null

"Cycles" determine heating levels and times of drying activities that are available. There are 14 cycles in a typical Whirlpool dryer. Cycles are in groups based on the different types of fabrics to be dried. "Heavy Dry" has 6 cycles based on time of tumbling: 70, 60, 50, 40, 30 and 20 minutes of heat, with a choice of temperatures. "Fluff Air" has 3 cycles based on time of tumbling with no heat on, 30, 20 and 10 minutes. "Auto Dry" senses the moisture in the load or air temperature and shuts off immediately. Levels are "More Dry" and "Less Dry". There is another cycle called "Wrinkle Shield" which provides 90 minutes of periods of heat free tumbling to prevent wrinkles. It can be added to the other 3 types of drying.

"Cycles" are the different settings on the dryer. For instance, if you are drying lingerie, you would probably choose the "Delicates" cycle. Towels would use the "Towels" cycle.

Cycles are settings. If you have a small load you would select a setting "cycle" that would provide adequate dry time for example. If you have a permanent press article of clothing then you would select the specific cycle setting for that and so on.

This has 14 different settings for drying clothes.
