Abstract
A method of operating a dryer appliance includes obtaining an image of a drum of the dryer appliance and a load of articles therein. The image of the drum may be obtained by a remote user interface device. The method further includes detecting a load type of the load of articles in the drum. The load type detected may be based on the image of the drum. The method additionally includes determining a recommended incremental cycle time. The method further includes adjusting a base cycle time with the recommended incremental cycle time.
Claims18
A method of operating a dryer appliance, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a remote user interface device, an image of a drum of the dryer appliance and a load of articles therein, wherein obtaining the image of the drum comprises displaying, on a display of the remote user interface device, a reticle configured to align with the dryer appliance;
- detecting, based on the image, a load type of the load of articles in the drum;
- determining a recommended incremental cycle time;
- and
- adjusting a base cycle time with the recommended incremental cycle time.
