Installation test (Duct check) (cont.)

replace the exhaust system as needed.

Error Code

Possible Causes

Solutions

tE1

tE2

• Temperature sensor failure

•

Turn off the dryer and call for service.

• Humidity Sensor failure.

•

Turn off the dryer and call for service.

• Electric dryer power cord is not

connected correctly, or house power

supply is incorrect.

• House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has

tripped, or power outage has occurred.

• Check the power supply or the connection of

power cord to the terminal block. Refer to the

Connecting electric dryers

section of this

manual for complete instructions.

• Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not

increase the fuse capacity. If the problem is a

circuit overload, have it corrected by a quali-

fied electrician.

Restricted or Blocked Airflow

Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or

bends.

Excess or crushed

transition duct

Too many elbows or

exhaust too long

Check for blockages and lint buildup.

Make sure the ductwork is not crushed or restricted.

Crushed or

damaged

exhaust

Lint buildup

or blockage

NOTE

When the dryer is first installed, this test should be

performed to alert you to any existing problems with

the exhaust duct 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 num-

ber of bars displayed during the two tests may not be

the same.
Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in

the wrong results.
Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle,

some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust

system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of this

manual for complete exhaust system and venting

requirements.
Your dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative sens-

ing system that automatically detects blockages and

restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork

clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows

clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.
