Solutions Turn off the dryer and call for service. Check the connection of the power cord to the terminal block. Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation Instructions for details. Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying times will be longer and energy consumption will increase. If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the Flow SenseTM 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. If the Flow SenseTM indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service.

This display indicates that the steam option has been set for a "big" item such as a comforter. Press the Less Time button to reduce the indicated load size. 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.

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

The Flow Sense
TM
indicator remains

the restriction in the
venting.
After clearing the restriction, the
Flow Sense
TM
system requires
multiple, consecutive cycles to
determine that the performance
value has improved before the
Flow Sense
TM
indicator is reset.
If the Flow Sense
TM
indicator remains
active for more than five cycles after
the restriction has been cleared, call for
service.

(3) Turn the dryer off then restart the
STEAM CYCLE.
Do not use distilled water; the water level
sensor in the steam generator will not
work.
Pump not working. Unplug dryer and call

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
