Problem
Flow Sense indicator
( W ) shows four bars
during the drying
cycle or the display
shows after
d8O
drying.
The Flow Sense
indicator ( W )
remains active after
clearing the
restriction in the
venting.
Check filter indicator
( ) is on during the
K
drying cycle.
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. Dryer 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.
• This warning light is not a dryer failure and is not covered by the dryer warranty. Contact a
duct cleaning service to set up an appointment to have your exhaust system cleaned and
inspected.
After clearing the restriction, 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.
Lint filter not cleaned properly.
• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up
to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions.
With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter
during the cycle.
