Maintenance
Keep the dryer clean to prevent decreased performance and to lengthen its life.
WARNING
The control board and inlet valve are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of
electric shock only during servicing.
Service personnel - Do not contact these parts while the dryer is energized.
Vent sensor
The dryer features a vent sensor that detects and noti fi es you when it is time to clean the
ductwork. The indicator lets you know the status of the duct.
Level Indicator Status Action
0 Off The ductwork is not clogged.
1 On
• The duct or lint fi lter is
clogged.
• The pressure applied to
the duct is high because
the duct is too long or
bent.
• Check the lint fi lter or duct
and clean if necessary.
• Check the duct connections
and shorten or straighten
the duct if necessary.
2 Blinking
• The duct or lint fi lter is
severely clogged.
• The pressure applied
to the duct is very high
because the duct is too
long or bent.
• Check and clean the lint
fi lter or duct and make
sure they are not clogged.
• Check the duct connections
and shorten or straighten
the duct work.
If the dryer is in the Level 2 state, the indicator blinks for 3 hours after the completion
of the current cycle. If you press
POWER or open the door, the dryer powers off
immediately.
NOTE
• For duct installation, see “ Exhaust ducting guide ” on page 28 and “ Ducting
requirements ” on page 16 .
• The dryer may keep running even if the duct is clogged, but the drying time will be
extended.
• If the indicator turns on for the fi rst time and is solid (not blinking), check and clean the
lint fi lter and/or duct.
• If the indicator turns on again later, it is because the duct is installed or connected with
some restrictions (it’s too long or has too many bends). This is not a system failure.
However, drying time may be extended or the drying performance may be degraded.
