DRYER RESULTS
Clothes are not drying satisfactorily, drying times are
too long, or load is too hot
■
Is the lint screen clogged with lint?
Lint screen shold be cleaned before each load.
■
Is the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood clogged with
lint, restricting air movement?
Run dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside
exhaust hood to check air movement. If you do not feel air
movement, clean exhaust system of lint or replace exhaust
vent with heavy metal or flexible vent. See “Installation

turns. Long venting will increase drying times. See “Installation
Instructions.”

Is the dryer located in a room with temperature below
45°F (7°C)?

dryers use two household fuses or circuit breakers.Replace
the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
Is “Check Vent” illuminated on the Airflow screen?
This indicator will show the status of airflow through the dryer
vent. The Detecting light comes on during the sensing phase
at the beginning of a cycle. The Check Vent light will come
on if a blocked vent or low airflow issue is detected.
Try the following:
Clean lint screen.
Check to see if the vent run from the dryer to the wall is free
of lint and debris.
Confirm the exterior vent exhaust hood is free of lint and
debris.
Confirm your vent system falls within the recommended run
length and number of elbows for the type of vent you are
using. Refer to “Plan Vent System” for details.
Select a Timed Dry heated cycle, and restart the dryer.
For more information on maintaining good airflow, see
“Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow” in the “Use and
Care Guide.” If the message persists, have your entire home
venting run cleaned.
