Installation Test (Exhaust Check) - LG Dle3050 series Owner's Manual

Installation test (Exhaust check)

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer, use this
test to make sure the condition of the exhaust system is adequate
for proper operation of the dryer. This test should be performed
to alert you to any serious problems in the exhaust system of your
home.
• Your dryer features FLOW SENSE
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 dryer should be cool before starting this test. If the dryer was
warmed up during installation, run the AIR DRY cycle for a few
minutes to reduce the interior temperature.
To activate the installation test:
1. Press and hold the SIGNAL ON/OFF and TEMP. CONTROL
buttons and then press the POWER button.
This button sequence activates the installation test. The code
will display if the activation is successful.
2. Press the START/PAUSE button.
The dryer will start the test, which will last about two minutes.
The heater will be turned on and the temperatures in the drum
will be measured.

During the two minute test cycle, monitor the FLOW SENSE
display on the control panel. If no bars are displayed, when
the cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust
system is severely restricted, the display will show four bars.
