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.

Maintaining good airflow

nClean your lint screen before each load.

nReplace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.

nUse the shortest length of vent possible.

nUse no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system. Each bend and curve reduces airflow.

Good Better

nRemove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.

nRemove 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.

nClear away items from the front of the dryer.

Use Sensor Cycles for better fabric care and energy savings

Use the Sensor Cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced 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. Use the Normal dryness level to provide optimal energy savings.

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.

Eco Dry option

The Eco Dry option will default on only for the Normal cycle and is only available on that cycle.

This option allows you to increase your energy savings by using a slightly lower heat level. The Eco Dry option will increase drying times by approximately 40 minutes, which will be reflected on the LED Display. If optimal time is desired, touch ECO DRY to turn off this option.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

Not all features and cycles are available on all models.

NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your finger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch the control panel with your fingertip, not your fingernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch the appropriate button.

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 periodically 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

This indicator shows that the load is partially dried and items that you may wish to hang up or iron while still damp may be removed.

Cool Down

The dryer has finished drying with heat and is now tumbling the load without heat to cool it down.

Check Vent

The Check Vent indicator is a feature available for Automatic 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. The Check Vent light will continue to illuminate during the cycle unless the root cause is resolved.

REMEMBER: 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.”

NOTE: If there are other error issues during a cycle, the Check Vent indicator will not light up. See the “Troubleshooting” section.

End

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 displayed.

Control Lock

This will illuminate once the controls are locked.
