Check Your Vent System For Good Air Flow
Good air flow
Along with heat, dryers require good air flow 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 air flow. Blocked or crushed vents, as well
as improper venting installation, will reduce air flow and
dryer performance.
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. To clean or repair venting, contact a
venting specialist.
Maintain good air flow by:
Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
n
Replace plastic or foil vent material
n
with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid
vent material.
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
n
each bend and curve reduces air flow.
Good
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n
Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system
n
at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be
sure to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with
your dryer for final product check.
Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
