Maintenance

Keep the dryer clean to prevent decreased performance and to lengthen its life.

WARNING

The control board and inlet valve are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of 
electric shock only during servicing.
Service personnel - Do not contact these parts while the dryer is energized.

Vent sensor

The dryer features a vent sensor that detects and notifies you when it is time to clean the 
ductwork. The   indicator lets you know the status of the duct.

Off

The ductwork is not clogged.

1

On

•  The duct or lint filter is 

clogged.

•  The pressure applied to 

the duct is high because 
the duct is too long or 
bent.

•  Check the lint filter or duct 

and clean if necessary.

•  Check the duct connections 

and shorten or straighten 
the duct if necessary.

2

Blinking

•  The duct or lint filter is 

severely clogged.

•  The pressure applied 

to the duct is very high 
because the duct is too 
long or bent.

•  Check and clean the lint 

filter or duct and make 
sure they are not clogged.

•  Check the duct connections 

and shorten or straighten 
the duct work.

If the dryer is in the Level 2 state, the   indicator blinks for 3 hours after the completion 
of the current cycle. If you press POWER or open the door, the dryer powers off 
immediately.

NOTE

•  For duct installation, see “Exhaust ducting guide” on page 28 and “Ducting 

•  The dryer may keep running even if the duct is clogged, but the drying time will be 

extended. 

•  If the indicator turns on for the first time and is solid (not blinking), check and clean the 

lint filter and/or duct. 

•  If the indicator turns on again later, it is because the duct is installed or connected with 

some restrictions (it’s too long or has too many bends). This is not a system failure. 
However, drying time may be extended or the drying performance may be degraded.
