FINAL INSTALLATION CHECK
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer
and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation
with the following steps and tests.
1
Is gas turned on? (Gas models only)
2
Is dryer plugged in? Dryer should always be plugged
into the proper outlet.
Gas dryer should use a 120-
VAC, 60-Hz. grounded 3-prong
Electric dryer should use a
4-wire connection which
is required for all mobile
and manufactured home
installations, as well as all
new construction after
January 1, 1996.
-- OR --
A 3-wire connection.
NOTE:
A 3-wire connection
is NOT permitted on new
construction after
January 1, 1996.
3
Is the dryer transition duct connected? Make sure the
transition duct behind the dryer is properly connected
and is not crushed or damaged.
4
Is the dryer level? Once the dryer is in its final location,
recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is
level front to back and side to side, and that all four
leveling feet rest firmly on the floor.
5
Is the dryer heating normally? Perform the following
dryer heating test.
Testing Dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the POWER button to turn the
dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. When the
dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.
NOTE:
If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas
igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this
happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition until all
the air is purged from the gas line.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the POWER button to turn
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The
exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been
operating for 3 minutes.
Checking Airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. The
adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating
the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can
be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust
duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static
pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inches
(1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is
running with no load.
Checking Levelness
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to
be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back and
side to side, and that all four leveling feet are firmly on
the floor.
Checking Venting
The vent duct should be checked for lint buildup and
cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable
reduction in drying performance occurs, check the duct
for obstructions and blockages.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
RESTRICTED OR BLOCKED AIRFLOW
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Check the duct condition.
If the Check Vent( ) Led is blinking, 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 ducts 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 results of the two tests may not be
the same.
Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in
inaccurate results.
Even if the LED is not blinking during the test cycle,
some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust
system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of
this guide for complete exhaust system and venting
requirements.
Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or bends.
Check for blockages and lint buildup.
Make sure the ductwork is not crushed or restricted.
