Installation Test (Duct Check)
Once you have completed the installation of the
dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the
exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of
the dryer. This test should be performed to alert you
to any serious problems in the exhaust system of
your home.
• This dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative
sensing system that automatically detects
blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork.
Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of
restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces
energy use.
NOTE
The dryer should be cool before starting this test.
If the dryer was warmed up during installation, run
the AIR DRY cycle for a few minutes to reduce
the interior temperature.
To activate the installation test:
1
Remove the drying rack and literature, and
then close the door.
Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as
in may affect the accuracy of the results.
2
Press and hold the POWER, Temp., and Signal
buttons until
and a usage count alternate
in the display. (The usage count indicates the
number of cycles run with no load during the last
5 cycles.)
3
Press the START/PAUSE button.
The dryer will start the test, which will last about
2 minutes. The heat will be turned on and the
temperatures in the drum will be measured and
displayed. A chime sounds when the test portion
of the cycle is complete.
4
Check the display for results.
During the test cycle, monitor the Flow Sense™
display on the control panel. If no bars are
displayed, when the cycle ends, the exhaust
system is adequate. If the exhaust system is
severely restricted, the display will show four
bars. Other problems may also be shown with
error codes. See the chart below for error code
details and solutions.
NO BARS:
OK
Four bars indicates that the exhaust system is
severely restricted. Have the system checked
immediately, as performance will be poor.
5
End of cycle.
At the end of the test cycle,
The test cycle will end and the dryer will shut off
automatically after a short delay.
