Cleaning and inspecting the exhaust system
Inspect and clean the exhaust yearly to maintain optimum performance.
1 Disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer and from the exhaust hood (at the exhaust outlet) outside of the
building.
2 Check the interior of the duct and remove any lint accumulation.
3 Make sure that lint is removed from the exhaust hood. Lint may collect in the exhaust hood so that th ppers
or louvers will not open or close completely.
4 After cleaning the exhaust hood, check that the apper or louvers move freely.
5 Reassemble the exhaust duct and hood, making sure that the joints are secure and sealed.
6 Operate your dryer and make sure that the exhaust air is not obstructed in the vent and that there are no leaks
in the system.
Troubleshooting
Note
Check and clean the outside exhaust hood frequently to ensure a proper air ow.
Caution
Do not try to repair your dryer yourself. Doing so invalidates the warranty.

Dryer does not heat
or does not dry. t Your dryer may have moved into the cool-down process of the cycle. This is normal.
t
Select a cycle other than Air Flu and a temperature setting that is not “no heat.”
t Do not overload your dryer. Depending on the size of your washer, one wash load should
equal one dry load.
t
Dry heavy items and lightweight items separately.
t If you are drying large, bulky items, like blankets or comforters, try repositioning the load to
ensure even drying.
t

Dryer is noisy.
t
It is normal for your dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer
drum and exhaust system.

items.
t Make sure that your dryer is level.
Clothes are
unevenly dried.
t Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of
the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. Select the
More Dry or
Very Dry dry level if desired.
t If you dry one heavy item with a lightweight load (such as one towel with sheets), the heavy
item may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness
level. For best drying results, dry heavy items and lightweight items separately.
Dryer sh

dried.
t The dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart the cycle.
t The dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the cycle.
Dryer has an odd
odor.
t
Your dryer draws air from the surrounding room air. Household odors from paint, varnish,
strong cleaners, and so forth, may enter your dryer with the surrounding room air. This is
normal. When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely before using your
dryer.
