Frequently Asked Questions - ED880 Equator

How do I clean the lint filter on the Equator ED880?
The lint filter is located inside the dryer door opening. Pull it straight up, moisten your fingers to remove lint, then slide it back into place. Clean it before every load for efficient drying.
What is the maximum exhaust duct length for the ED880?
For rigid metal duct with no 90° elbows, the maximum length is 80 ft (24.4 m). Each 90° elbow reduces the allowable length by 10 ft (3 m). Use only 4" diameter rigid or UL-listed flexible metal duct.
Can I reverse the door swing on the Equator ED880?
Yes, the door is reversible. Follow the instructions in the manual: remove hinge screws, swap the strike plate, and reinstall the door on the opposite side. Unplug the dryer before starting.
What do error codes E1, E2, E5, and E7 mean?
E1 indicates a door open or switch failure (close door or check wiring). E2 is a dry sensor failure (check sensor connections). E5 is a heating failure (clean lint filter, reset thermostat). E7 means drum not rotating (check belt).
How does the child lock feature work?
Press and hold the Child Lock button for 5 seconds to activate or deactivate. When active, all buttons except Power are disabled. An indicator light shows when the lock is set.
What is the difference between the Allergen and Sanitize cycles?
The Allergen cycle heats to 131°F to remove allergens, while the Sanitize cycle reaches 165°F to kill germs. Both are sensor dry cycles preset to High heat and Extra dry level, with fixed durations of 2h15min and 2h30min respectively.
Why is my dryer taking too long to dry clothes?
Common causes: blocked lint filter, clogged or kinked vent duct, improper sorting (mix heavy/light fabrics), overloaded drum, or a tripped circuit breaker. Check and clean the lint filter and ensure the exhaust duct is clear and short.
Can I use an extension cord for the ED880?
No. The dryer must be connected to a dedicated 240V 30A circuit using a UL-listed power cord. Extension cords are not allowed and pose a fire hazard.
How do I level the dryer?
Place the dryer on a level solid floor. Adjust the four leveling feet using a 17mm wrench. Turn the lock nuts against the base after leveling to prevent vibration. Extend feet only as needed.
Is it necessary to vent the dryer outdoors?
Yes, the ED880 is a vented dryer and MUST be exhausted to the outdoors to prevent lint and moisture buildup, reduce fire risk, and maintain drying efficiency. Do not vent into a chimney, wall, ceiling, or concealed space.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

WARNING-To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, please read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS and follow basic precautions:

  • Empty pockets of items
  • Do not dry clothes with residues of oil or flammable substances
  • Follow clothing manufacturer's care labels.

Operating the Dryer

Before Starting the Dry Cycle

Load clothes loosely into the dryer, ensuring that the clothes have enough room to tumble and to let the air circulate through the clothes. Filling the dryer with too many clothes will require more time to dry and may cause wrinkle in the clothing.

Ensure that lint has been removed from the filter for efficient drying.

The Clean Lint Filter Reminder icon will flash on the display screen.

Power On

Close the door firmly and press the Power button to turn on the dryer. If the door is not closed properly, the door unlock icon will appear on the Display Screen.

The LED will illuminate on the Display Screen and on the Dry Cycle Dial.

The default setting is for NORMAL dry cycle, "More" Dry Level, "Medium" Temp and 2 hours dry time.

Select a Dry Cycle

If the default NORMAL dry cycle is desired, the cycle can be started. If an alternate cycle is desired, rotate the Dry Cycle Dial in either direction to any of the other cycles: Heavy, ECO, Delicate, Shoes, Allergen131°, Sanitize165°.

The indicator light by the cycle name will illuminate. Each of the cycles has pre-set dry times, dry levels and temperatures, based on sensor drying. Sensor dry cycles monitor the moisture in the clothes and shut the dryer off automatically when the selected dry level is reached.

Note: The time shown remaining on the display screen may increase or decrease during the dry cycle as the sensor dry function monitors for moisture in the clothes and adjusts the time.

Refresh

Refresh 12' is a time dry cycle which tumbles the clothes for a short time while blowing hot air into the drum. This reduces wrinkles and refreshes the clothes. Use this cycle after the drying is completed and before taking clothes out of the dryer. This is optional.

Select Dry Level and Temperature

After the dry cycle is selected, you have the option to change the Dry Level and the Temperature.

  • Press Dry Level to select how much you want the clothes to dry. Press repeatedly to select from: Extra, More, Less or Damp. The selection will illuminate on the display screen.
  • Press Temp to select the heat level for drying clothes. Press repeatedly to select from: High, Medium or Air. The selection will illuminate on the display screen.

Note: Some dry cycles do not allow these settings to be changed. For example, Allergen and Sanitize only use High heat.

Options

In addition to selecting the dry level and temperature, you can also select options on the Control Panel for Delay, Chime and Child Lock.

  • Press Delay to start the dry cycle at a later time. Select from 1 to 24 hours. Each time you press increases the time in one-hour increments.
  • Press Chime to turn the end of cycle chime sound on or off. An indicator light will illuminate on the Display Screen to show if the Chime is on or off.
  • The Child Lock function prevents children from playing with the buttons on the control panel. Press and hold Child Lock for 5 seconds to set or release the Child Lock. An indicator light will illuminate on the display screen to show that the Child Lock is set. Once Child Lock is set, no button except for the Power button will function until the Child Lock has been released.

Time Dry

If you want to set a specific time for drying (not using sensor dry cycles) press Time Dry to select the minutes to run the dry cycle. Repeated pressing of Time Dry increases the time in 10-minute increments up to one hour.

Start the cycle

After dry cycle and options have been selected, Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. The cycle can be paused at any time either by opening the door, or by pressing the START/PAUSE button.

End of the cycle

When the cycle is completed, "End" will be displayed on the screen and the chime will sound if it has been set. Open the dryer door and remove the clothes from the dryer. It is recommended that clothes be removed from the dryer when the cycle ends and the clothes are still warm. Folding them right away will reduce wrinkles.

If clothes have been sitting in the dryer for a while after the cycle has ended, the Refresh 12' cycle can be run for a quick refresh of the clothes.

Exhaust system check list hood or wall cap

Terminate in a manner to prevent back drain or entry of birds or other wildlife.

Termination should present minimum resistance to the exhaust air flow and should require little or not maintenance to prevent clogging.

Wall caps must be installed at least 12" (30 cm) above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.

If roof vents or louvered plenums are used, they must be equivalent to a 4" (10.2 cm) dampened wall cap in regard to resistance to air flow. Prevention of back drafts and regular maintenance are required to prevent clogging.

Separation of turns

Separate all turns by at least 3 ft. (1 m) of straight duct, including distance between last turn and dampened wall cap. If two turns must be closer than 3 ft. (1 m) deduct 10 ft. (3 m) from the maximum length.

Turn other than 90^

One turn of 45^ or less may be ignored.

Two 45° turns should be treated as one 90°.

Each turn over 45^ should be treated as one 90^ .

Deduct 10 ft. (3 m) for each additional elbow. It is not recommended to use more than three 90° elbows.

Sealing of joints

All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.

Do not assemble the duct work with fasteners that extend into the duct. They will serve as a collection point for lint.

Duct joints can be made air and moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape.

Ductwork

Routing and connecting ductwork.

Ductwork and fittings are NOT included and must be purchased separately.

The exhaust duct run should be as short as possible.

Use as few elbow joints as possible.

The male end of each section of exhaust duct must point away from the dryer.

Insulate ductwork that runs through unheated areas in order to reduce condensation and lint buildup on duct surfaces.

Incorrect or inadequate exhaust systems are not covered by the dryer warranty.

Insulation

Ductwork which runs through an unheated area or is near an air conditioning duct, should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint build up and be sloped down toward outdoors.

Note: Never install screen inside exhaust duct.

Before Call 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.

ProblemPossible CausesSolutions
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 card.- Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the problem is circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
Dryer shakes or make noise-Some shaking/noise is normal.- Dryer may be sitting unevenly.Move the dryer to an even floor space, of adjust the leveling legs as necessary until it is even.
Clothes take too long to dryImproper or obstructed duct- Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer venting is correct.- Make sure duct is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed.- Check to see if outside wall cap operates easily.
Improper sortingSeparate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
Large loads of heavy fabrics (like beach towels)Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to dry. Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed drying time.
Controls improperly setMatch the settings to the clothes to dry.
Lint filter is fullClean the filter before every load.
Blown fuses or tripped circuit breakerReplace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, ensure both are operating.
Overloading/combining loadsDry a small loadDo not put more than one wash load in the dryer at a time.Add a few items to ensure proper tumbling if to dry only one or two item.
The dry level was chosen, but load is still dampLoad consists of a mixture of heavy and light fabricsWhen combining heavy and light fabrics in a load, select Extra dry level.
Lint filter is blockedCheck and clean the lint filter.
Dry sensor is dirtyClean the sensor with a moist cloth.
Control button(s) not respondingChild lock activatedThis is normal, press the button for 5 seconds to release.
The option is incompatible with the adsirved dry cycle.This is normal, select the right options to your dry cycle.
Remaining time jumped to a lower or a greater numberThe estimated time may change when dry a smaller, or bigger load than normal load.This is normal.
Dryer doesn't heatFuse is blown/circuit breaker is trippedCheck the fuse/circuit breaker, and replace fuse or reset breaker.
Glow at the rear of the drumHeaters are behind the drumThis is normal. The blow of the heaters may be visible at the rear of the drum in dry cycle.
Clothes are still wet and dryer shut off after a short timeThe door was opened before the end of dry cycle, then the load was removed, and a new wet clothes were loaded without selecting a new cycleA new dry cycle must be selected for each new load.
Small loadWhen drying less, choose Quick Dry or Time Dry.
Load was already dry except for collars and waistbandsChoose Quick Dry or Time Dry to dry damp collars and waistbands. In the future, when drying a load with collars and waistbands, choose Extra.
Clothes are wrinkledOver dryingSelect a shorter drying time.Remove items while they still hold a slight amount of moisture. Select a Damp setting.
Items sit in dryer after cycle endsRemove items when cycle ends and fold or hang immediately.
OverloadingSeparate large loads into smaller ones.
Clothes shrinkSome fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Others can be safely washed, but will shrink in the dryer.To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care labels exactly. Some items may be pressed back into shape after drying. If you are concerned about shrinkage in a particular item, do not machine wash or tumble dry it.
Greasy spots on clothesImproper use of fabric softenerFollow directions on fabric softener package.
Drying dirty items with clean onesUse your dryer to dry only clean items. Dirty items can stain clean items and the dryer.
Clothes were not completely cleanSometimes stains which cannot be seen when the clothes are wet appear after drying. Use proper washing programs before drying.
Lint on clothesLint filter is fullClean lint screen before each load.
Improper sortingSort lint producers (like chenille) from lint collectors (like corduroy).
Static electricity can attract lintSee suggestions in this section under Static occurs.
OverloadingSeparate large loads into smaller ones.
