•• Check the duct condition If the Flow SenseTM LED is turned on, 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 duct 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 number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same. Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in inaccurate results. Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of this manual for complete exhaust system and venting requirements. Your dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in the dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.

LED is turned on, 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 duct 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 number of bars displayed
during the two tests may not be the same.
Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result
in inaccurate results.
Even if no bars are displayed during the test
cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the
exhaust system. Refer to the
Venting the Dryer
section of this manual for complete exhaust
system and venting requirements.
Your dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative
sensing system that automatically detects
