I’ve read every single manual on the Internet and I still don’t understand what the difference is. I’ve also used both settings and don’t see much difference. When I use dry, the room cools off, but the machine will shut down and turn back on which I find very annoying. When I use cool the room, the room will cool but the machine stays on.
It’s currently nighttime with the 70° temperature outside in the 71% humidity. WWYD right now, for example?

Dry function is taking the humidity out of the air… and it has to go somewhere. If it’s a floor unit with a window bracket, your ac is probably full of water and in need of draining. Should have come with a pan, but you can also put it a tub and open the drain. Check the manual for location or other instructions for draining.
Very humid conditions can make this necessary even when running in cool mode. Some models are made to pump it back out with the outgoing hot air, but mixed results. Floor units almost always have a reservoir.
