Final Installation Check
Once you have completed the installation of the
dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper
operation with the following tests and Installation
Test (Duct Check).
Testing Dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/
Pause buttons to start the test. When the dryer
starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.
NOTE
• If all air is not purged from the gas line, the
gas igniter may turn off before the main
burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will
reattempt gas ignition after approximately two
minutes.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door and press the Power button
to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/
Pause buttons to start the test. The exhaust air
should be warm after the dryer has been operating
for 3 minutes.
Checking Airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.
The adequacy of the airflow can be measured
by evaluating the static pressure. Static
pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured
with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct
approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static
pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed
0.6 inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked
while the dryer is running with no load.
Checking Levelness
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the
dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level
front to back and side to side, and that all four
leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.
Installation Test (Duct 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™, 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
• 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.
Activating the Installation Test
1
Remove the literature, and then close the
door.
Do not load anything in the drum for this test,
as it may affect the accuracy of the results.
