Vent blockage test
After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is properly installed. The 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.
The Vent Blockage Test must run with the dryer in a cool state. If the dryer warms up after the installation check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature.
- Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door.
(If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, the test will not give accurate results.) - Press the POWER button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the Adjust Time Up and Dryness buttons for 3 seconds. “InS or In” appears in the dryer’s display. (If you have started other procedures before the Vent Blockage Test, the dryer will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.)
- Press the START/PAUSE button. The Vent Blockage Test starts immediately. During the test, the number indicator makes a circle in 6 clockwise steps. The test takes about 2 minutes. Do not open the door during the test.
- After 2 minutes, when the test is complete, the results is displayed and the dryer sounds a tone. If status of the duct system is normal, “End or 0” appears and the dryer sounds a completion tone.
If the duct system can not exhaust properly, the check code appears, and the dryer sounds an alarm tone.
If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display.- To stop or cancel the Vent Blockage Test, press the POWER button to turn off your dryer.
- The results remain on the display for about 5 minutes and then automatically turn off . You can turn the result off immediately by pressing the POWER button.
- During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns. The Vent Blockage Test is used to check for problems to the current duct system when the dryer is installed for the first time.
- If the test result displays check code (the duct system is blocked ), refer to the “Ducting requirements” section and the “Exhaust ducting guide” section in the user manual, 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.
- Even if the test result is normal (“End or 0”), the duct system could be blocked slightly. Properly install all duct work according to the installation instructions in the user manual.
Cycle chart
For best results, follow the load size recommendations for each dry cycle.

- ◗ Medium load : Fill the drum to about 1/2 full.
- ◔ Small load : Fill the drum with 3-5 items, not more than 1/4 full.
