For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation
openings near the top and bottom of the door are required.
Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are
acceptable.

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

“AF” Code
Certain electronic dryer models have airflow detection
capabilities. (See specific model product literature for details). If
the airflow in the dryer is extremely low, an “AF” code will be
displayed on the control panel. For single dryer venting systems,
this code means that you may have a blocked or partially blocked
vent or that your overall vent system length is too long. To resolve
this issue:
■
Check to see if the vent run from the dryer to the wall is
crushed. Refer to the “Venting Requirements” section of
the Use and Care Guide for more information.
■
Confirm that the vent run from the dryer to the wall is free
of lint and debris.
■
Confirm that the exterior vent exhaust hood is free of lint
and debris.
■
Confirm that your vent system falls within the
recommended run length and number of elbows
for the type of vent you are using. Refer to the “Plan
Vent System” section of the Use and Care Guide for
details.
■
Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer.
■
If the message persists, have your entire home venting run
cleaned.
For multi-dryer venting systems, the “AF” code means that your
vent may be blocked or partially blocked or that the venting
system is creating back pressure in excess of the maximum
allowed. In this case, the engineering firm that designed the
system should be consulted.
