A time-controlled programme follows the selected duration rather than necessarily stopping at a sensed moisture target. Read the model's description to understand its finishing stages.
Understanding this situation
Choosing too little or too much time can produce a different result from an automatic programme even when the appliance is functioning. The permitted fabric and load limits still apply.
A useful next step
Use the manufacturer's guidance for suitable timed tasks and respect textile restrictions. Check the result after safe completion. Do not repeatedly extend heat on an unsuitable or overloaded load instead of reviewing the programme choice.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
