Press the LESS TIME button to reduce the indicated load size. ••Do not use the dryer until the exhaust system has been cleaned and/or repaired. Using the dryer with a severely restricted exhaust is dangerous and could result in a fire or other property damage. Check the outside dryer vent while the dryer is operating to make sure there is strong airflow. If the exhaust system is extremely long, have it repaired or rerouted. ••Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter. Check vent hood for damage or lint clogging. Make sure the area around the vent hood is clear. ••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.

* 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.
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.
The Flow Sense™ indicator
remains active after clearing the
restriction in the venting.
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.
The display shows
More Time button was
pressed.
This display indicates that the steam option
has been set for a “big” item such as a
