28 INSTALLATION
buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to
dry faster and reduces energy use.
NOTE
• The appliance should be cool before starting this
test. If the appliance was warmed up during
installation, run the Air Dry cycle for a few
minutes to reduce the interior temperature.
Activating the Installation Test
1
Remove the drying rack (on some models)
and literature, and then close the door.
• Do not load anything in the drum for this
test, as it may affect the accuracy of the
results.
2
Press the Power button then IMMEDIATELY
press and hold the Low Static and Options
buttons.
• This button sequence activates the
installation test. A message 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 TM display on the control panel. If the
Flow Sense TM LED has not turned on when
the cycle ends, the exhaust system is
adequate. If the exhaust system is severely
restricted, the Flow Sense
TM LED will turn
on. Other problems may also be shown with
error codes. See the chart on the next page
for error code details and solutions.
• If the Flow Sense TM LED indicates that the
exhaust system is severely restricted, have
the system checked immediately, as
performance will be poor.
5
End of cycle.
• At the end of the test cycle, a message will
display. The test cycle will end and the
appliance will shut off automatically after a
short delay.
Check the Duct Condition
If the Flow Sense TM LED is turned on, check the
exhaust system for restrictions and damage.
Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.
NOTE
• When the appliance is first installed, this test
should be performed to alert you to any existing
problems with the exhaust duct in your home.
However, since the test performed during
normal operation provides more accurate
information on the condition of the exhaust duct
than the installation test, the results during the
two tests may not be the same.
• Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could
result in inaccurate results.
• Even if the LED doesn't light up during the test
cycle, some restrictions may still be present in
the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the
Dryer section of this manual for complete
exhaust system and venting requirements.

Check the error code before you call for service.
