LG DLEX3001W - Manual (Page 24)

Your dryer features FlowSense TM , an innovative
sensing system that automatically detects blockages
and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork
clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows
clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.
NOTE: When the dryer 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 does the
installation test, the number of bars displayed during
the two tests may not be the same.
To activate the flow check (Duct condition test) :
NOTE: Dryer heating test must be performed before
proceeding. Then perform the duct condition test
below:
Press and hold the DAMP DRY BEEP and
TEMP. CONTROL buttons at the same time.
While holding these buttons, press POWER
ON/OFF.
The display will show the FLOW CHECK start
screen.
