Final installation check

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation with the following tests and Duct Condition Testing on the following page.

Testing Dryer Heating

GAS MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.

notE

If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after approximately two minutes.

ELECTRIC MODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF switch to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.

Checking Airflow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.

The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer.

Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.

Checking Levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back and side to side, and that all 4 leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

Installation test (Exhaust 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.

- Your 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.

1. Check the display for results.

During the two minute 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. Refer to the next page for error code details and solutions.

NO BARS: OK

FOUR BARS: RESTRICTED

Four bars indicates that the exhaust system is severely restricted. Have the system checked immediately, as performance will be poor.

1. END of Cycle.

At the end of the test cycle, End will display. The test cycle will end and the dryer will shut off automatically after a short delay.

Installation test (Exhaust check) (cont.)

- Check the Error Code before you call for service

Error Code Possible	Causes Solutions
tE1 or tE2	• Temperature sensor failure	• Turn off the dryer and call for service.
HS	• Humidity Sensor failure.	• Turn off the dryer and call for service.
PS or PF or nP	• Electric dryer power cord is not connected correctly, or house power supply is incorrect.• House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.	• Check the power supply or the connection of power cord to the terminal block. Refer to the Connecting Electric Dryers section of this manual for complete instructions.• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase the fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.

- Check the duct condition

If the test displays four bars, check the exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.

notE

When the dryer is first installed, this test should be performed to alert you to any existing problems with the exhaust duct in your home. However, since the test performed during normal operation provides more accurate information on the condition of the exhaust duct than does the installation test, the number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same.

Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in the wrong results.

Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of this manual for complete exhaust system and venting requirements.

Restricted or Blocked Airflow

Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or bends.

Excess or crushed transition duct Too many elbows or exhaust too long

Check for blockages and lint buildup.

Lint buildup or blockage

Make sure the ductwork is not crushed or restricted.

Crushed or damaged exhaust

- Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, pens, coins, and keys can damage both your dryer and your clothes. Flammable objects such as lighters or matches could ignite, causing a fire. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

- Never dry clothes that have been exposed to oil, gasoline, or other flammable substances. Washing clothes will not completely remove oil residues. Failure to obey this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death.

Loading Tips

• Combine large and small items in a load.
• Damp clothes will expand as they dry. Do not overload the dryer; clothes require room to tumble dry properly.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

Check the lint filter before every load

Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying times.

To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly back into place. See Regular Cleaning for more information.

Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before running the dryer. Running the dryer with a loose or missing lint filter will damage the dryer and articles in the dryer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before calling for service

Your dryer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If your dryer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service.

Problem Possible Causes		Solutions
Dryer will not turn on	Power cord is not properly plugged in.House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.	Make sure that the plug is plugged securely into a grounded outlet matching the dryer's rating plate.Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
Dryer does not heat • House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.Gas supply or service turned off (gas models only).		Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.Confirm that the house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open.
Greasy or dirty spots on clothes	Fabric softener used incorrectly.Clean and dirty clothes being dried together.	Confirm and follow the instructions provided with your fabric softener.Make sure to use your dryer to dry only clean items, because dirty items can soil clean clothes placed in the same or subsequent loads.Stains on dried clothes are actually stains that were not removed during the washing process.Make sure that clothes are being completely cleaned according to the instructions for your washer and detergent.
Display shows error code tE1 or tE2	Thermistor is malfunctioning. • Turn off the dryer and call for service.
Lint on clothes • Lint filter not cleaned properly.Laundry not sorted properly.Excess static in clothes.Dryer is overloaded.Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets.		Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).See the Excess static in clothes after drying section below.Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
Excess static in clothes after drying	Fabric softener not used or used incorrectly.Clothes dried too long (overdried).Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.	Use a fabric softener to reduce static electricity correctly. Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and use a shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY cycles.These materials can cause static buildup. Try using a fabric softener.
Display shows error code PS	Power cord connection is incorrect. • Check the connection of power cord to the terminal block. Refer to 23-27 pages on this manual.
Problem Possible	Causes	Solutions
Drying time is not consistent	Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.	The drying time for a load will vary depending on the heat setting, the type of heat used (electric, natural gas, or LP gas), the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes, and the condition of the exhaust ducts and lint filter.
Clothes take too long to dry	Load is not properly sorted.Large load of heavy fabrics.Dryer controls are not set properly.Lint filter needs to be cleaned.Exhaust ducts blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.Dryer is overloaded.Dryer is underloaded.	Separate heavy items from lightweight items. Larger and heavier items take longer to dry.Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because they tend to retain more moisture. To help reduce and maintain more consistent drying times for large and heavy fabrics, separate these items into smaller loads of a consistent size.Use the appropriate control settings for the type of load you are drying.Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.Confirm that the exhaust ductwork is properly configured and free of debris, lint, and obstructions. Make sure that outside wall dampers can open properly and are not blocked, jammed, or damaged.Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.If you are drying a very small load, add a few extra items to ensure proper tumbling action.
Clothes are wrinkled • Clothes dried too long (overdried).Clothes left in dryer too long after cycle ends.		Overdrying a load of laundry can lead to wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time, and remove items while they still retain a slight amount of moisture.Remove items from the dryer immediately at the end of the cycle. Use the WRINKLE CARE option to continue tumbling clothes at the end of the cycle, for up to 3 hours.
Clothes are shrinking • Garment care instructions are not being followed.		To avoid shrinkage, please carefully follow the fabric care instructions for your garment, because some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Other fabrics can be washed but will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a low or no heat setting.
Add indicator light is on during the drying cycle	Water supply error. Check steam feeder drawer:	(1) Make sure steam feeder is filled with water to MAX line.(2) Make sure steam feeder is seated properly and drawer is fully closed.(3) Turn the dryer off then restart the Steam cycle.Do not use distilled water; the water level sensor in steam generator will not work.Pump not working. Unplug dryer and call for service.
