INSTALLATION
Testing the Washer
Check if the washer is properly installed and run a
test cycle.
1
Load the washer with 6 thick bath towels
(approximately 6 pounds).
2
Press the
Power
button.
3
Press the
Speed Wash
button.
4
Select the
Start/Pause
button to start the
wash cycle.
5
Make sure that water is supplied, that the
washer does not rock or vibrate excessively,
and that it drains well during the spin cycle.
NOTE
• If water leaks during water supply, see
Connecting the Water Inlet Hoses
to connect
them properly.
• If the appliance rocks and vibrates excessively,
see
Leveling the Appliance
to level it again.
• If the drain does not work, see
Connecting the
Drain Hose
to install the hose properly.
Testing the Dryer
Once you have completed the installation of the
appliance, use this test to make sure the condition
of the exhaust system is adequate for proper
operation of the appliance. This test should be
performed to alert you to any serious problems in
the exhaust system of your home.
• Your appliance features
Flow Sense
(
W
), an
innovative sensing 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.
Testing Dryer Heating
Gas Models
Close the dryer door and press the
Power
button
to turn the dryer on. Press the
Time Dry
and
Start/Pause
buttons to start the test. 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 after approximately two minutes.
Electric Models
Close the dryer door and press the
Power
button
to turn the dryer on. Press the
Time Dry
and
Start/Pause
buttons to start the test. 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
inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while
the dryer is running with no load.
Activating the Installation Test
1
Do not load anything in the drum for this test,
as it may affect the accuracy of the results.
2
Press the
Power
button and then press and
hold the
Reduce Static
and
Energy Saver
buttons.
• This button sequence activates the
installation test. The code
1Ns
will display if
the activation is successful.
3
Press the
Start/Pause
button.
• The appliance will start the test, which will
last a few minutes. The heat will be turned
on and the temperatures in the drum will be
measured.
4
Check the display for results.
• During the test cycle, monitor the
Flow
Sense
(
W
) display on the control panel. If
the
Flow Sense
(
W
) indicator has not turned
on when the cycle ends, the exhaust system
is adequate. If the exhaust system is
severely restricted, the
Flow Sense
(
W
)
indicator will turn on. Other problems may
also be shown with error codes. See the
