The automatic temperature control monitors temperature and moisture and turns down the temperature at the right time. Jeans come out of the dryer ready to wear. You can pat them on without them being damp or overdry. The Ultra Delicate drying system is Kenmore's fastest and gentlest drying combination ever.

Also sort by color. Is the load too big or too heavy? Dry smaller loads so lint can be carried to the lint screen. • Was the load overdried? Use correct dryer settings for load type. (See "Changing Cycles, Options and Modifiers.") Overdrying can cause lint-attracting static electricity.
