Automatic drying and timed drying give different results

An automatic programme decides its end differently from a fixed-time selection. A short cycle with a very small load is not the same enquiry as every programme remaining cold.

Keep selections exact

Give the printed programme names and dryness targets from results already observed. Say whether the final display showed completion or an interruption.

How assessment uses it

The comparison can help distinguish sensing, heating and programme-setting questions. It does not prove a moisture sensor is defective, and there is no need to run repeated tests solely for booking.

A useful distinction

A timed programme ending after its set interval is not evidence that the load reached a particular dryness. Keep elapsed time and fabric condition separate when comparing it with a programme that claims an automatic target.
