The thing that I am not sure of is why it's so important to know when the dryer finishes? And if it's that important how does it slip your mind that the 45 dryer cycle started at the top of the hour?
Is it a kids thing?
- Scoundreller 2y ago“Modern” dryers will vary their run time and stop once they stop sensing some threshold of humidity in exhaust air. A load of jeans will take longer than a polyester shirt load.

If you yank your clothes out of the dryer and get them hung while they're still warm, they don't wrinkle nearly as much than if you let them cool down in a heap in the drier. 45 minutes is more than enough time to get thoroughly engrossed in a myriad of activities, so, easy to forget, and not all drier cycles are predictable. Timed dry is, but, anything smarter than that isn't (and most driers still in service are smarter).
