How does it work? 

When the Auto Door Open feature is turned on the door will automatically open once the cycle as completed. The door opens door 4" after the dry cycle ends to release water vapor and provide natural ventilation for an exceptional dry. Use the Automatic Door Open Dry System alone or pair with a heated dry option for improved drying performance.
