What if the "Filter/Vent" indicator lights after cleaning the exhaust system?
Possible fault
The dryer is not operating efficiently
because the duct hose is too long.
What if the program runs too long or stops?
Possible fault
The airflow is insufficient in the area of
the dryer.
The lint filters are clogged.
The laundry was not spun sufficiently in
the washer.
The dryer is overloaded.
Metal zippers interfere with the dryer's
moisture sensors.
An airflow gap of 3/8" (10 mm) must be
provided between the machine and the
floor.
What if the laundry is not dry enough?
Possible fault
The load contained too many dissimilar items (size and fabric.)
What if water has collected around the drum opening?
Possible fault
This is condensed moisture from the laundry.
Frequently asked questions
Solution
Check the exhaust length and diameter
(see "How to calculate the effective
duct length"). A long exhaust hose will
increase program times and energy
consumption.
If the exhaust hose cannot be
shortened, the indicator can be turned
off by a service technician.
Solution
Open a window or door to increase
airflow.
Clean the lint filters (see "Dryer care").
Select a higher spin speed in the wash
program.
Reduce the load size.
Select a timed program to avoid over
drying.
This gap must not be blocked by a
toe-kick or thick piled carpets for
sufficient airflow.
