Question:

Why doesn't my dryer turn off after completing a cycle?

Answer:

Normal behavior - Some dryers won't automatically power off but instead play a tune indicating the cycle is complete. They remain on with "END" displayed until the door is opened. To turn off, press the power button.

Wrinkle prevention cycles - Some models have additional cycles to prevent wrinkles, making it seem like the dryer isn't turning off. Check your user manual for details.

Signal button - If there's no sound during button presses or setting changes, find the signal button. It controls the chime (sound) and might have different volume levels.

Terms:

Wrinkle prevention cycles - Extra drying cycles designed to reduce wrinkles on clothes.

Signal button - A button controlling the sound (chime) produced by the dryer during specific events.
