Duct condition test – LG DLE2350W User Manual

Page 26

Your dryer features FlowSense

, 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 duct condition test :

NOTE: Dryer heating test must be performed before

proceeding. Then perform the duct condition test

below:

DUCT CONDITION TEST

Correct Venting

Restricted or Blocked Airflow

Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows

or bends.

Check for blockages and lint buildup.

Make sure the ductwork is not crushed

or restricted.

Press and hold the SIGNAL ON/OFF and

TEMP. CONTROL buttons at the same time.

While holding these buttons, press POWER

ON/OFF.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT interrupt the test cycle!
NOTE : Even if no bars are displayed during the

duct condition test, some restrictions may still be

present in the exhaust dust. Refer to pages 14-15

for more information.

If no bars are shown in the display, the

ductwork is free from blockages

or restrictions.

If all bars are lit, the dryer ductwork has

a blockage that needs to be removed

immediately.

Press START/PAUSE. The dryer

will run for approximately 2

minutes to test for blockages

or restrictions to air flow in the

ductwork.

The dryer will show

in the number display

to indicate that it is in duct condition testing

mode.
