TROUBLESHOOTING

Operation
Symptoms
Appliance will not turn
on.
Flow Sense indicator
lights up during the
drying cycle.
The Flow Sense
indicator remains
active after clearing
the restriction in the
venting.
Appliance does not
heat.
Drying time is not
consistent.
Clothes take too long
to dry.
Power cord is not properly plugged in.
• Make sure that the power plug is securely plugged into a grounded outlet
matching the appliance's rating plate.
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has
occurred.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the
problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
Exhaust system is too long or has too many turns/restrictions.
• Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation instructions for
details.
Partial blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup or other foreign
object.
• Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. The appliance can be
used in this condition, but drying times will be longer and energy
consumption will increase.
The appliance has detected a restriction in the external dryer venting.
• If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the Flow Sense system, the indicator
will remain on for 2 hours after the end of the cycle. Opening the door or
pressing the Power button will turn off the display.
After clearing the restrictions, the Flow Sense system requires multiple,
consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has
improved before the Flow Sense indicator is reset.
• If the Flow Sense indicator remains active for more than five cycles after
the restriction has been cleared, call for service.
House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has
occurred.
• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase fuse capacity. If the
problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.
Heat settings, load size, or dampness of clothing is not consistent.
• The drying time for a load will vary depending on the size of the load, the
type of fabrics, the wetness of the clothes and the condition of the lint
filter. An unbalanced load in the washer can cause poor spinning, resulting
in wetter clothes which will take longer to dry.
Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty, or duct run is too long.
• Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly configured and free of debris,
lint, and obstructions. Make sure that the outside wall damper can open
properly and is not blocked, jammed, or damaged.
