appliance should also be considered.
No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.
Do not operate the dryer at temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off
at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. The dryer must not be installed or stored
in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do
not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local
building inspector.
NOTE
The floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under the entire dryer.
Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not
level.
For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. The
standard pedestal is 15 inches (38.1 cm). You will need 18 inches (46 cm) from the garage floor to the
bottom of the dryer.
Clearances
Installation Spacing for Recessed Area or Closet Installation
The following spacing dimensions are recommended for this dryer. This dryer has been tested for clearances of
1 inch (2.5 cm) on the sides and rear. Recommended clearances should be considered for the following reasons:
Additional clearances should be considered for ease of installation and servicing.
Additional clearances might be required for wall, door and floor moldings.
Additional clearances should be considered on all sides of the dryer to reduce noise transfer.
For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation openings in the top and bottom of the door are
required. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are acceptable.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
14 INSTALLATION
Closet Ventilation Requirements
Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet.
One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm
2
) must be installed no lower than 6 feet
above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm
2
) must be installed no
more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grills in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to
form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable.
NOTE
There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of
vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to make noise
or come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.

Final Installation Check
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer
and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation
with the following tests and the Installation Test (Duct
Check) on the following page.
Testing Dryer Heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the POWER button to turn
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.
When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the
main burner.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the POWER button to turn
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.
The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has
been operating for 3 minutes.
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.
The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by
evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the
exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer,
placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9
cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the exhaust duct
should not exceed 0.6-inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should
be checked while the dryer is running with no load.
Checking Levelness
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the
dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front
to back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet
are firmly on the floor.
Checking Venting
Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup
and cleaned at least once per year. If any noticeable
reduction in drying performance occurs, check duct
for obstructions and blockages.
33INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Installation Test (Duct Check)
Once you have completed the installation of the
dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the
exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of
the dryer. This test should be performed to alert you
to any serious problems in the exhaust system of
your home.
This dryer features Flow Sense™, 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
The dryer should be cool before starting this test.
If the dryer was warmed up during installation, run
the AIR DRY cycle for a few minutes to reduce
the interior temperature.
To activate the installation test:
1
Remove the drying rack and literature, and
then close the door.
Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as
in may affect the accuracy of the results.
2
Press and hold the POWER, Temp., and Signal
buttons until and a usage count alternate
in the display. (The usage count indicates the
number of cycles run with no load during the last
5 cycles.)
3
Press the START/PAUSE button.
The dryer will start the test, which will last about
2 minutes. The heat will be turned on and the
temperatures in the drum will be measured and
displayed. A chime sounds when the test portion
of the cycle is complete.
4
Check the display for results.
During the test cycle, monitor the Flow Sense™
display on the control panel. If no bars are
displayed, when the cycle ends, the exhaust
system is adequate. If the exhaust system is
severely restricted, the display will show four
bars. Other problems may also be shown with
error codes. See the chart below for error code
details and solutions.
NO BARS:
OK
FOUR BARS:
RESTRICTED
Four bars indicates that the exhaust system is
severely restricted. Have the system checked
immediately, as performance will be poor.
5
End of cycle.
At the end of the test cycle, will display.
The test cycle will end and the dryer will shut off
automatically after a short delay.

clothing from the dryer to reduce wrinkling. If Wrinkle Care is selected, the dryer
will tumble briefly every few minutes to help prevent wrinkles from setting in the
clothes.
36 OPERATION
Check the Lint Filter Before
Every Load
Always make sure the lint filter is clean before starting
a new load; a clogged lint filter will increase drying
time. To clean, pull the lint filter straight up and roll
any lint off the filter with your fingers. Do not rinse or
wash the filter to remove lint. Push the lint filter firmly
back into place. See Regular Cleaning for more
information.
Always ensure the lint filter is properly installed before

Cleaning Around and Under the Dryer
Vacuum lint and dust from around the dryer and
underneath it regularly. Vent ductwork should be
checked for lint buildup and cleaned at least once per
year. If any noticeable reduction in airflow or drying
performance occurs, immediately check ductwork for
obstructions and blockages.
Maintaining Ductwork
Vent ductwork should be checked for lint buildup once
per month and cleaned at least once per year. If any
noticeable reduction in airflow or drying performance
occurs, immediately check ductwork for obstructions
and blockages. Contact a qualified technician or
service provider.
Cleaning the Lint Filter
Always clean the lint from the filter after every cycle.
Lint Filter
To clean, open the dryer door and pull the lint filter
straight up. Then:
1
For everyday cleaning, roll any lint off the filter
with your fingers, or
2
Vacuum the lint filter.
3
If the lint filter has become very dirty or clogged
with fabric softener, wash the lint filter in warm,
soapy water and allow it to dry thoroughly before
reinstalling.
NOTE
NEVER operate the dryer without the lint filter in
place. NEVER operate the dryer with a wet lint
filter.

FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When I press a button, why does my dryer beep and then nothing happens?
A: The Control Lock feature is turned on. To turn off Control Lock, turn the dryer on, then press and hold
the button that has *Control Lock on or under it for 3 seconds.
Q: Why does my dryer take so long to dry clothes?
A: Proper airflow is critical to the efficient operation of clothes dryers. A lint filter which is full of lint or
clogged with fabric softener sheet residue can reduce the airflow to the point that the time required
to dry clothing will be greatly increased. Another factor affecting dry time is your home exhaust
system. An exhaust system which is dirty and clogged with lint, or is excessively long, needs to be
professionally cleaned or repaired.
Q: Why does my dryer start by itself every few minutes?
A: This is how the Wrinkle Care feature works. The dryer runs briefly every few minutes for up to 3 hours
after the cycle finishes. This feature is designed to help prevent wrinkles from setting in when the
dryer is not unloaded immediately after the cycle is finished.

stage. If the dryer does not function properly or does not function at all, check the following before you call for
service.
Operation
Problem Possible Cause Solutions
The Flow Sense
TM
indicator remains
active after clearing
the restriction in the
venting.
After clearing the restriction, the
Flow Sense
TM
system requires
multiple, consecutive cycles to
determine that the performance
value has improved before the
Flow Sense
TM
indicator is reset.
If the Flow Sense
TM
indicator remains
active for more than five cycles after
the restriction has been cleared, call for
service.
Dryer will not turn on Power cord is not properly
plugged in.
Make sure that the plug is securely
plugged into a grounded outlet matching
the dryer’s rating plate.
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power

NOTE
Due to the design of electric dryers,
it is possible for a circuit problem to
allow an electric dryer to run without
heat.
Gas supply or service is turned
off (gas models only).
Confirm that the house gas shutoff and
the dryer gas shutoff valves are both fully
open. Even if gas is not supplied to the
dryer, it will run and display error code.
Verify that other gas appliances in the
home are working normally.
Energy Saver option selected
(on some models)
If using the Cotton/Normal cycle, deselect
the energy saver option. The Energy
Saver option is selected by default. This
option reduces energy use by adding
an air dry section to the beginning of the

Problem Possible Cause Solutions
Clothes take too long to
dry
Exhaust ducts are blocked, dirty,
or duct run is too long.
Confirm that the exhaust duct is properly
configured and free of debris, lint, and
obstructions. Make sure that outside wall
dampers can open properly and are not
blocked, jammed, or damaged.
Load is not properly sorted. Separate heavy items from lightweight
items. Larger and heavier items take
longer to dry. Light items in a load with
heavy items can fool the sensor because
the light items dry faster.
Clothes take too long to
dry
Large load of heavy fabrics. Heavy fabrics take longer to dry because
they tend to retain more moisture. To help
reduce and maintain more consistent
drying times for large and heavy fabrics,
separate these items into smaller loads of
a consistent size.
Dryer controls are not set
properly.
Use the appropriate control settings for
the type of load you are drying. Some
loads may require an adjustment of the
dry level setting for proper drying.
Lint filter needs to be cleaned. Remove the lint from the filter before
every load. With the lint removed, hold
the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty or
clogged. With some loads that produce
high amounts of lint, such as new bath
towels, it may be necessary to pause the
cycle and clean the filter during the cycle.
House fuse is blown, circuit
breaker has tripped, or power
outage has occurred.
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do
not increase fuse capacity. If the problem
is a circuit overload, have it corrected by
a qualified electrician.
NOTE
Due to the design of electric dryers,
it is possible for a circuit problem to
allow an electric dryer to run without
heat.
Dryer is overloaded. Divide extra large loads into smaller
loads for better drying performance and
efficiency.
Dryer is underloaded. If you are drying a very small load, add a
few extra items to ensure proper tumbling
action. If the load is very small and you
are using SENSOR DRY cycles, the
electronic control cannot properly sense
the dryness of the load and may shut off
too soon. Use TIME DRY or add some
extra wet clothes to the load.

The drying time for a load will vary
depending on the type of heat used
(electric, natural gas, or LP gas), the
size of the load, the type of fabrics, the
wetness of the clothes, and the condition
of the exhaust duct and lint filter. Even an
unbalanced load in the washer can cause
poor spinning, resulting in wetter clothes
which will take longer to dry.

ENGLISH
Performance
Problem Possible Cause Solutions
Greasy or dirty spots
on clothes
Fabric softener used incorrectly. Confirm and follow the instructions
provided with your fabric softener.
Clean and dirty clothes are being
dried together.
Use your dryer to dry only clean items.
Soil from dirty clothes can transfer to the
clean clothes in the same or later loads.
Clothes were not properly
cleaned or rinsed before being
placed in the dryer.
Stains on dried clothes could be stains
that were not removed during the washing
process. Make sure that clothes are being
completely cleaned or rinsed according
to the instructions for your washer and
detergent. Some difficult soils may require
pre-treating prior to washing.
Clothes are wrinkled Clothes dried too long (over
dried).
Over drying a load of laundry can lead to
wrinkled clothes. Try a shorter drying time
or LESS DRY setting and remove items
while they still retain a slight amount of
moisture.
Clothes left in dryer too long after
cycle ends.
Use the WRINKLE CARE option. This
feature will tumble the clothes briefly
every few minutes for up to 3 hours to
help prevent wrinkling.
Clothes are shrinking Garment care instructions are not
being followed.
To avoid shrinking your clothes, always
consult and follow fabric care instructions.
Some fabrics will naturally shrink when
washed. Other fabrics can be washed but
will shrink when dried in a dryer. Use a
low or no heat setting.
Lint on clothes Lint filter not cleaned properly. Remove the lint from the filter before
every load. With the lint removed, hold
the filter up to a light to see if it is dirty
or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the
cleaning instructions. With some loads
that produce high amounts of lint, it may
be necessary to clean the filter during the
cycle.
Laundry not sorted properly. Some fabrics are lint producers (i.e., a
fuzzy white cotton towel) and should be
dried separately from clothes that are lint
trappers (i.e., a pair of black linen pants).
52 TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible Cause Solutions
Lint on clothes Excess static in clothes. Use a fabric softener to reduce static
electricity. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Overdrying
a load of laundry can cause a buildup of
static electricity. Adjust settings and use a
shorter drying time, or use SENSOR DRY
cycles.
Dryer is overloaded. Divide extra large loads into smaller loads
for drying.
Tissue, paper, etc., left in pockets. Check pockets thoroughly before washing
and drying clothes.
Excess static in clothes
after drying
Fabric softener is not used or
used incorrectly.
Use a fabric softener or the STATIC
SHIELD option, if equipped, to reduce
static electricity. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Clothes dried too long
(overdried).
Overdrying a load of laundry can cause
a buildup of static electricity. Adjust
settings and use a shorter drying time, or
use AUTO DRY cycles. Select a LESS
DRY setting on SENSOR DRY cycles, if
necessary.
Drying synthetics, permanent
press, or synthetic blends.
These fabrics are naturally more prone to
static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or
use LESS DRY and/or shorter TIME DRY
time settings.
Clothes have damp
spots after a SENSOR
DRY cycle.
Very large load or very small load.
Single large item such as a
blanket or comforter.
If items are too tightly packed or too
sparse the sensor may have trouble
reading the dryness level of the load. Use
a Time Dry cycle for very small loads.
Large, bulky items such as blankets
or comforters can sometimes wrap
themselves into a tight ball of fabric. The
outside layers will dry and register on the
sensors, while the inner core remains
damp. When drying a single bulky item, it
may help to pause the cycle once or twice
and rearrange the item to unwrap and
expose any damp areas.
To dry a few remaining damp items from
a very large load or a few damp spots
on a large item after a sensor cycle has
completed, empty the lint trap, then set a
Time Dry cycle to finish drying the item(s).
