FLOW CHECK (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. If heating is normal, perform cooling
properly. Then perform the duct condition test below:
O Press and hold the DAMP DRY BEEP and
TEMR CONTROL buttons at the same time.
While holding these buttons, press POWER
ON/OFE
O
O
The dryer will show InS in the number display
to indicate that it is in duct condition testing
mode.
Press START/PAUSE. The dryer
will run for approximately 2
minutes to test for blockages
or restrictions to air flow in the
ductwork.
If no bars are shown in the display,
the ductwork is free from serious
blockages or restrictions.
If all bars are lit, the dryer ductwork
has a serious 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.
