ENGLISH TROUBLESHOOTING 43 Before Calling for Service The dryer is equipped with an automatic error-monitoring system to detect and diagnose problems at an early stage. If the dryer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for service. Error Messages Problem tE1 through tE7 Ps d8O, dGO, dGs The display shows bIGf Possible Cause & Solution Temperature sensor failure. • Turn off the appliance and call for service. Power cord is connected incorrectly. • Check the connection of the power cord to the terminal block. Exhaust system is too long or has too many turns/restrictions. • Do not use the appliance until the exhaust system has been cleaned and/or repaired. Using the appliance with severely restricted exhaust is dangerous and could result in a fire or other property damage. • Check the outside dryer vent while the appliance is operating to make sure there is strong airflow. If the exhaust system is extremly long, have it repaired or rerouted. House exhaust system blocked. • Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter. Check vent hood for damage or ling clogging. Make sure the area around the vent hood is clear. More Time button was pressed. • 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. Operation Problem Possible Cause & Solution Flow SenseTM indicator shows four bars during the 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. 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 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. The Flow SenseTM indicator remains active after clearing the restriction in the venting. After clearing the restrictions, the Flow SenseTM system requires multiple, consecutive cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow SenseTM indicator is reset. • If the Flow SenseTM indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has been cleared, call for service. The appliance will not turn on. 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.
