CHECK VENT INDICATOR
(DUCT BLOCKAGE SENSING SYSTEM)
The CHECK VENT duct blockage sensing system
detects and alerts you to blockages in the ductwork

does not indicate any problems with your dryer.
If this light blinks, it indicates that your home's
exhaust system has a serious restriction, which is not
covered by your dryer's warranty. There are services
available for cleaning/maintaining the external
venting. Sears provides this service via Sears Carpet,
Upholstery, and Duct Cleaning. Call 1-800-661-6594
to schedule duct cleaning service from Sears (if it is
available in your area).
