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.
The Vent Blockage Test 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.
- 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” 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 (Hold to Start) 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 are displayed and the dryer sounds a tone. If status of the duct system is normal, “0” appears and the dryer sounds a completion tone. If
the duct system cannot exhaust properly, the check code appears, and the dryer sounds an alarm tone.
- 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 results off immediately by pressing the Power button.
