HOW TO USE
9 FLOW SENSE™ DUCT BLOCkAGE SENSING
SYSTEm INDICATOR
The FLOW SENSE™ duct blockage sensing system
detects and alerts you to blockages in the ductwork
that reduce exhaust flow from the dryer. This
improves operating efficiency and helps minimize
service calls, saving you money.
THE DUCTWORK HAS
A BLOCKAGE THAT NEEDS
TO BE REMOVED
IMMEDIATELY.
NEED FLOW CHECK
If no bars are shown in the display, the
ductwork is free from blockages.
If two bars in the display are lighted,
examine the dryer exhaust system for lint
build up or other restrictions, including
damage, excess length, foreign objects,
etc. See note below.
If all bars are lit, the dryer ductwork has
a blockage that needs to be removed
immediately.
END OF CYCLE
• 2 bars are displayed In the LCD screen.
• Ductwork is slightly too long or has too many turns/
restrictions.
• Partial blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup.
1. Possible causes
• Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the
Installation Instructions.
• Ductwork should be checked/cleaned soon.
Dryer can be used in this condition, but drying
times may be longer.
• If “END OF CYCLE” is displayed after the end of
cycle, it will be off in 4 minutes. If POWER button
is pressed or the door is opened, power will be off
immediately.
2. Solutions
NOTE: If the duct has been checked and cleaned
and two bars are still displayed after several cycles,
then there is some restriction in the duct due to
length, condition, etc. In this case, no further action
is necessary and the dryer can be used normally.
However, drying times may be increased and there
may be some reduction in operating efficiency
• 4 bars are displayed In the LCD screen.
• Ductwork is too long or has too many turns/
restrictions.

buildup or debris.
