The dryness setting on a dryer does not directly control the heat level. Instead, it determines the duration of the drying cycle based on the moisture level in the clothes. The dryness setting allows you to select how dry you want your clothes to be at the end of the drying cycle.
Typically, dryness settings on dryers include options like "damp," "normal," "extra dry," or similar labels. These settings adjust the drying time rather than the heat level. The dryer's sensor or timer monitors the moisture content in the clothes and stops the cycle when it reaches the desired dryness level.
The temperature setting, on the other hand, controls the heat level in the dryer. Selecting a lower temperature setting will result in lower heat during the drying cycle, which is useful for delicate fabrics or items that are sensitive to high heat.
In summary, the dryness setting on a dryer does not directly affect the heat level. It controls the duration of the drying cycle based on the desired dryness level, while the temperature setting determines the heat level applied during the drying process.
