On many occasions, I've read on this group that using "automatic" mode
on a dryer saved energy.

I call BS. When I dry clothes in automatic mode, selecting the "Energy
Preferred" setting, it takes nearly two hours to dry a load, and the
clothes come out smoking HOT!

Using the timed setting, a load of clothes dries in 60 minutes, and
come out COOL because of the 20 minute cooldown.

Those of you who drink the "automatic mode is more efficient" koolaid
should try using the timed setting on your dryers. You may be
pleasantly surprised, and you'll get your laundry done earlier.

I have a wetness mode. Is that what you mean by automatic? *

I like it. * Although I wouldn't call it more efficient. *It just
means I don't run the dryer past the time it is a certain level of
dryness.



Yes, I agree. I'd say if the OP's is behaving as described,
something is wrong with it. Mine just runs until they are dry, then
shuts off.
