POD 8-18-18 '58 WH Dryer DRY Button

I do not believe this is truthful advertising when it says no overdrying. Was there a lowering of the termination temperature in this dryer from the termination temperature in the earlier 50s models of WH dryers with auto dry? The earlier WH dryers reached quite high temperatures and then just stopped with no cooldown so fabrics were hot and over-dried. The people I knew with WH dryers from this time period did not use that auto-dry system very much because of the way it baked clothes.

Note today's date: it is another palindrome.

The ad copy says 'The last five minuets of no-heat tumbling....' so it must shut off the heat...my 1960 W dryer does that

I downloaded the instruction manual whenever Robert put it up. 

 

It says:  "There are certain conditions when the Dryer Basket may rotate after closing the door without pushing the Time or Dry Button.  This will happen when the Dryer has been running and is pre-heated.  However, the Dryer will be operating without heat and will run for about 5 minutes and stop.  To eliminate this, always push the previous selected Time or Dry Button when closing the Loading Door or Lint Collector Door. "
