Check the duct condition.
If the Check Vent(
) Led is blinking, check the
exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair or
replace the exhaust system as needed.
NOTE: When the dryer is first installed, this test
should be performed to alert you to any existing
problems with the exhaust ducts 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 results of the two tests may not be
the same.
Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in
inaccurate results.
Even if the LED is not blinking during the test cycle,
some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust
system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of
this guide for complete exhaust system and venting
requirements.
