Abstract: In a wrinkle release arrangement for a dryer, a heater heats articles to be wrinkle released, and a timer times the heating of the articles. The timer establishes a wrinkle out cycle. A temperature sensor senses a temperature related to a temperature of the articles. A control circuit substantially alternately energizes the heater and the timer in response to the temperature sensor in order to provide automatic wrinkle release responsive to load.
