30 INSTALLATION
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.
Test Dryer Heating
Gas Models
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Turn the knob to select Timed
Dry and press the
(OK) button to start the test.
8
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 and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Turn the knob to select Timed
Dry and press the
(OK) button to start the test.

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
inch (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 four leveling
feet are in firm contact with the floor.
Test Exhaust System
Once you have completed the installation of the
appliance, use this test to make sure the condition
of the exhaust system is adequate for proper
operation of the appliance. This test should be
performed to alert you to any serious problems in
the exhaust system of your home.
• Your appliance features Flow Sense
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 appliance should be cool before starting this
test. If the appliance was warmed up during
installation, run the Air Dry cycle for a few
minutes to reduce the interior temperature.
Activating the Installation Test
1
Remove the literature and close the door.
• Do not load anything in the drum for this
test, as it may affect the accuracy of the
results.
2
Press the Power button then IMMEDIATELY
press and hold the Wrinkle Care and
Settings buttons.
• This button sequence activates the
installation test. Install Mode will display if
the activation is successful.
3
Press the Start/Pause button.
• The appliance will start the test, which will
last a few minutes. The heat will be turned
on and the temperatures in the drum will be
measured.
4
Check the display for results.
• During the test cycle, monitor the Flow
TM
Sense
display on the control panel. If the
TM
Flow Sense
LED has not turned on when
the cycle ends, the exhaust system is
adequate. If the exhaust system is severely
restricted, the Flow Sense
on. Other problems may also be shown with
error codes. See the chart for error code
details and solutions.
• If the Flow Sense
exhaust system is severely restricted, have
