FACTORY CERTIFIED PARTS
Accessories designed for your appliance:5 CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW Good airflow Along with heat, dryers require good airflow to efficiently dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions. The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good airflow. Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who installed the dryer. Maintain good airflow by:
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
Replacing plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material. Good Better
Using the shortest length of vent possible.
Using no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system. Each bend and curve reduces airflow.
Removing lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
Removing lint from the entire length of the vent system at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your dryer for final product check.
Clearing away items from the front of the dryer. Use Sensor Cycles for optimal fabric care and energy savings Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the optimal fabric care from the dryer. During Sensor Cycles, drying air temperature and moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle and the dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness. You can also use the Extra Power option with Sensor Cycles for harder-to-dry or mixed loads. With Timed Dry, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to overdrying. Use Timed Dry for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time or when using the drying rack. Tips for getting the best performance from your steam dryer (on some models)
Results may vary depending on fabric. 100% cotton garments with wrinkle-free finish may yield better results than those without. 100% cotton items may require additional touching up after cycles that use steam.
Use of a fabric softener sheet is not recommended with cycles that use steam. It may cause temporary staining on clothes.
Cycles that use steam are not recommended for items that have been starched. Wash any starched or new garments prior to using cycles that use steam. n The Steam Refresh cycle is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from loads consisting of dry items of wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blend, common knits, and synthetics.6

CYCLE STATUS INDICATORS
The Cycle Status Indicators show the progress of a cycle. Not all indicators are available on all models. Sensing The Sensing indicator will light during Sensor Cycles to indicate that the moisture sensor on the dryer is operating. This indicator will not light during Timed Cycles or options such as Wrinkle Prevent. Wet The load is still wet and/or the cycle just started. Damp The load still has moisture remaining, a good point in the cycle to remove a garment to air dry or iron. Cool Down The dryer has finished drying with heat and is now tumbling the load without heat to cool it down and reduce wrinkling. Check Vent The Check Vent indicator is a feature available for Sensor Cycles only. This indicator will show the status of airflow through the dryer and the dryer vent system for the dryer’s life. During the sensing phase at the beginning of the cycle, the Check Vent light will come on if a blocked vent or low airflow issue is detected. This light will stay on for the entire cycle. Should the Check Vent light illuminate, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section for potential solutions to the issue. The light will be cleared upon completion of the cycle, touching Power, or opening the door. It will continue to illuminate during the cycle unless the root cause is resolved. NOTE: The dryer will continue to operate even while the indicator is lit, but poor airflow can impact dry times and overall performance. For more information on maintaining good airflow, see “Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow.” If there are other error issues during a cycle, the Check Vent indicator will not light up. See the “Troubleshooting” section. This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the load may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle Prevent has been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble the load, even if “End” is showing in the display. Control Lock This will illuminate when the controls are locked. NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control, touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for at least 3 seconds.
Sensing Cool Down Check Vent Wet Damp Appearance may vary. OPTIONS Use to select available options for your dryer. Not all cycles and options are available on all models. Wrinkle Prevent If you will be unable to remove a load immediately, touch WRINKLE PREVENT to add up to 150 minutes of periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On steam models, on some cycles, you may select the “+Steam” setting to add a short steam cycle after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles. Reduce Static (steam models only) Touch to add the Reduce Static option to selected Sensor Cycles (see “Cycle Guide”). The dryer will automatically tumble, pause, and introduce a small amount of moisture into the load to help reduce static. This option adds approximately 3 minutes to the total cycle time. Steam (steam models only) Steam adds steam to the end of certain Sensor Cycles to help smooth wrinkles. It is not available on Sanitize, Delicates, Steam Refresh, or Timed Cycles (Timed Dry, Quick Dry). Steam can be used with High or Medium heat settings. This option adds approximately 15 minutes to the total cycle time. Cycle Signal Use this to turn the signal indicating the end of a drying cycle on or off. Touch CYCLE SIGNAL to turn sounds on or off. Control Lock Use to lock the controls of the dryer and avoid an accidental change in cycle options or preferences during a drying cycle. Touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds to lock or unlock the controls of the dryer. During this time, the LED Display will count down “3-2-1.” Once the controls are locked, the Control Lock icon will illuminate. NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control, touch and hold CONTROL LOCK for at least 3 seconds. Extra Power The Extra Power option can be used with both Sensor and Timed Dry Cycles. Press the Cycle Control Knob to activate the Extra Power option, which provides an additional 10 minutes of cycle time (including additional heat and tumbling, where applicable). When Extra Power is activated, the Cycle Control Knob will illuminate and the estimated time remaining on the display will show an additional 10 minutes.

CLEANING THE DRYER LOCATION
Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the airfl ow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.
CLEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
To clean dryer drum:
1. Use a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low
concentration with very warm water, and rub with a soft cloth.
2. Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
3. Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum
Use a microfi ber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle to clean the drum and a second microfi ber towel to dry. NOTE: Garments that contain unstable dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the rear of the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry unstable dye items inside out to avoid transfer of dye.
REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT
From inside the dryer cabinet Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualifi ed appliance servicer. From the exhaust vent Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.13
CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Every-load cleaning The lint screen is located in the door opening of the dryer. Clean the lint screen before each load. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time. To clean:
1. Pull the lint screen straight up. Roll lint off the screen with
your fi ngers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.
2. Push the lint screen fi rmly back into place.
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose, damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal, check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See “Venting Requirements” in the Installation Instructions. Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup. To wash:
1. Roll lint off the screen with your fi ngers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.
Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.
4. Rinse screen with hot water.
5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel.
Reinstall screen in dryer.
Water Inlet Hose Replace inlet hose and hose screen after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hose if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found. When replacing your inlet hose, record the date of replacement. To Winterize the Dryer:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Shut off water faucet.
3. Disconnect water inlet hose from faucet and drain.
To Use the Dryer Again:
1. Flush water pipes. Reconnect water inlet hose to faucet.
Turn on water faucet.
2. Plug in dryer or reconnect power as described in the
Installation Instructions.
NON-USE, STORAGE, AND MOVING CARE
Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it. Non-Use or Storage Care Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you should:
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
