DUCT CONDiTiON TEST
Your dryer features FlowSense
TM,
an 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: When the dryer is first installed, this test
should be performed to alert you to any existing
problems with the exhaust duct in your home.
However, since the test performed during normal
operation provides more accurate information on
the condition of the exhaust duct than does the
installation test, the number of bars displayed during
the two tests may not be the same.
To activate the duct condition test :
NOTE: Dryer heating test must be performed before
proceeding. Then perform the duct condition test
below:
O Press and hold the DAMP DRY BEEP and
TEMRCONTROL buttons at the same time.

Press START/PAUSE. The
dryer will run for
approximately 2
minutes to test
for blockages or
restrictions to air
flow in the ductwork.
COMPLETED FLOW CHECK
If no bars are shown in
the display, the ductwork
is free from blockages
or restrictions.
NEEDFLOWCHECK
If all bars are lit, the
dryer ductwork has a
blockage that needs to
be removed immediately.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT interrupt the test cycle!
NOTE : Even if no bars are displayed during the
duct condition test, some restrictions may still be
present in the exhaust dust. Refer to pages 14-15
for more information.
