Vent blockage test
After the dryer is installed, run the Vent Blockage Test function to check if the duct system is properly
installed. Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts and reports any blockage or
problems. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save energy.
NOTE
The Vent Blockage Test function must run when the dryer is cool. If the dryer warms up after the
installation check, run the
Air Fluff
cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature.

time.
• If the test result displays check code (the duct system is blocked ), refer to the “
Ducting requirements
”
section on page

and the “
Exhaust ducting guide
” section below, and then take proper measures to
correct any problems. If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results. Follow the proper
procedures when testing the dryer.
