Vent blockage test
After the dryer is installed, run the Vent Blockage Test function to check if the duct system is properly installed. 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 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.) - Tap Power to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously tap and hold Options for 3 seconds.
- Turn the Navigation dial to select Vent Blockage Test, and then tap OK. Vent Blockage Test starts immediately.
- The test takes about 2 minutes and "Testing..." is displayed during the test.
- Do not open the door during the test.
- If you have started other procedures before running Vent Blockage Test, the dryer will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.
- 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, an alarm triggers with the "No problems detected" message. If the duct system
cannot 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 Vent Blockage Test, tap Power 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 tapping Power.
