What is Air Dry Function in Washing Machines?

    1. Air dry is a function in a washing machine that largely removes moisture from washed clothes.
    2. The clothes have to be transferred from the wash tub to the spin tub for air drying.
    3. Tiny vents are fitted inside the spin tub to let in gushes of air.
    4. Once a spin cycle is initiated using the spin timer, the machine will suck in air from the surroundings.
    5. Rotation of the spin tub creates air currents that come into contact with the clothes through the air vents.
    6. This makes the moisture on washed clothes evaporate thereby drying them.
    7. The time taken to dry the clothes depends on the material they are made of, as well as the thickness of the fabric.
