Drying Temps-What do you use?

[DADoES]

David, it does solve the issue to a large degree. The comforter in question is quite large and while not overstuffed by definition, it does have some quilting/stuffing. Only a small area in the 'middle' was still damp. Rearranging with that section on the outside and re-running an auto-dry cycle took care of it with minimal additional run time. I have a full/queen-size quilt that that comes out perfectly fine without re-running. I can tell the difference on sheets, they aren't balled-up when the dry cycle finishes, just resting comfortably in the drum.

Personally, I think the anti-tangle performance could be improved further by reversing for a slightly longer period. Four and one-half minutes forward and 40 seconds reverse seems just minimal. Maybe a "bulky-items" cycle that has longer or more frequent reversing. But F&P didn't ask me, LOL. :-(

I just checked my 2000 Maytag Neptune Gas dryer by pushing and holding the help button then the back button at the same time for five seconds to enter diagnostic mode. According to the digital display, here are the temperatures that turn the gas burner on and off in degrees F.
Regular (HIGH) 139/154
Medium 131/146
Delicate 124/137
Extra low 114/125

Is that lower than most dryers?

Reading this I had to go and take a look at my Kenmore because I didn't know what settings it had, shows how much attention I pay. All I've ever done with it is turn the dial to the dot in the middle of the automatic section and that's it. No muss no fuss no guessing. I don't think the machine has different heat settings, certainly none you can control. It doesn't get as hot as the older machines do.

Pete, I vaguely remember your dryer. I think the auto dry is one temperature, the timed dry is another temperature. Then there's the air fluff.
