Frequently Asked Questions - BVLR333EVWW RCA

How do I clean the lint filter on my RCA BVLR333EVWW dryer?

The lint filter is located up front and is removable. Pull it out, remove lint by hand or with a brush, and rinse under water if needed. Allow to dry completely before reinserting.

What type of venting material should I use?

Use metal duct only. Rigid 4" diameter metal duct is preferred for best performance. Flexible metal duct can be used but reduces maximum recommended length.

Can I install this dryer in a closet?

Yes, if approved by a label on the dryer. Minimum clearances: 0" sides, 3" front and rear, 52" vertical space. Closet doors must have at least 60 sq. in. of ventilation (120 sq. in. if washer is also present). The dryer must be exhausted outdoors.

What are the electrical requirements for this dryer?

A properly grounded 30-amp branch circuit with a circuit breaker or time-delay fuse is required. Rating: 208V/240V, 5600W, 60Hz, 30 Amps.

How do I select the correct drying cycle?

Turn the cycle selector to one of three cycles: Cottons for heavy fabrics, Permanent Press for wrinkle-resistant items, or 70 Minute Timed Fluff for timed air drying. Use the heat selection knob to choose heat level.

What should I do if the dryer stops mid-cycle?

Check if the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the door is fully closed. Clean the lint filter and check for blocked exhaust duct. If issue persists, consult the manual or contact a service technician.

Is it safe to terminate the exhaust inside the house?

No. The dryer must be exhausted outdoors to prevent moisture and lint buildup, which can create fire hazards. Never terminate into a chimney, crawl space, attic, or shared duct.

How often should I clean the exhaust duct?

Inspect and clean the exhaust duct at least once a year to prevent lint accumulation and reduce fire risk. More frequent cleaning may be needed if drying times increase.

Can I convert the exhaust from rear to bottom or side?

Yes. Use GE Kit Number WE14X70 (not included) to convert rear exhaust to bottom or side on large capacity models like this one.

What is the capacity of this dryer?

The RCA BVLR333EVWW has a 5.4 cu. ft. large capacity drum, suitable for family-sized loads.

Special Installation Requirements

Alcove or Closet Installation:

- If your dryer is approved for installation in an alcove or closet, it will be stated on a label on the dryer back.

• The dryer MUST be exhausted to the outside.

- Minimum clearances between dryer cabinet and adjacent walls or other surfaces are:

0" either side

3" front and rear

• Minimum vertical space from floor to overhead cabinets, ceilings, etc. is 52".
• Closet doors must be louvered or otherwise ventilated and must contain a minimum of 60 sq. in. of open area equally distributed. If this closet contains both a washer and a dryer, doors must contain a minimum of 120 sq. in. of open area equally distributed.
• The closet should be vented to the outdoors to prevent gas pocketing in case of a gas leak in the supply line.
• No other fuel-burning appliance shall be installed in the same closet with the dryer.

Bathroom or Bedroom Installation:

• The dryer MUST be exhausted to the outdoors.

- The installation must conform with the local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.

Minimum Clearances other than Alcove or Closet Installation:

• Minimum clearances to combustible surfaces

0" both sides

3" rear

Revised 11/98

For complete information, see installation instructions packed with your dryer.

Important Note:

GE Kit Number WE14X70 needed when converting rear exhaust to bottom or side. (On large capacity models.)

Ducting Materials:

For best performance, this dryer should be vented with 4" diameter all rigid metal exhaust duct. If "all rigid metal" duct cannot be used, then "flexible all metal" venting can be used, but it will reduce the maximum recommended duct length.

Exhaust Length Calculation:

1. Determine the number of 90^ turns needed for your installation. If you exhaust to the side or bottom of dryer, add one turn.

2. The maximum length of 4' rigid (aluminum or galvanized) duct which can be tolerated is shown in the table. The maximum length for flexible ducts are less than for rigid duct.

A tum of 45^ or less may be ignored. Two 45^ turns within the duct length should be treated as a 90^ elbow. A tum over 45^ should be treated as a 90^ elbow.

Exhausting the dryer to the outside is strongly recommended to prevent large amounts of moisture and lint from being blown into the room. Gas dryers or any dryer located in a closet must be exhausted to the outside.

Caution: For personal safety do not terminate exhaust into a chimney, under any enclosed house floor (crawl space), or into an attic, since the accumulated lint could create a fire hazard or moisture could cause damage. Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct or plenum with a kitchen exhaust, since the combination of lint and grease could create a fire hazard.

Exhaust ducts should be terminated in a dampered wall cap to prevent back drafts, bird nesting, etc. The wall cap must also be located at least 12" above the ground or any other obstruction with the opening pointed Down.

Other terminations, such as louvered wall boxes, are acceptable provided they are equivalent to a 4" opening dampered wall cap.
