WARNING - To reduce the risk of re or explosion:
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances. They
emit vapors that could ignite or explode. Any material that has been in contact with a
cleaning solvent or ammable liquids or solids should not be placed in the dryer until
all traces of these ammable liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
There are many highly ammable items used in homes, such as acetone, denatured
alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers,
turpentine, waxes, and wax removers.
• Do not dry items containing foam rubber (may be labeled latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber-like materials on a heat setting. Heated foam rubber materials can,

English 9
• Residual oil on clothing can ignite spontaneously. The potential for spontaneous
combustion increases when items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed
to heat. Heat sources such as your dryer can warm these items, allowing an oxidation
reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stacking, or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and can create a re hazard.
• All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain vegetable oil or cooking oil can be
dangerous.
Washing these items in hot water with extra detergent will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard. Always use the Cool Down cycle for these items to reduce their
temperature. Never remove these items from the dryer hot or interrupt the drying
cycle until the items have run through the Cool Down cycle. Never pile or stack these
items when they are hot.

Location considerations
The dryer should be located where there is enough space at the front for loading the
dryer, and enough space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for
the rear exhaust option. To exhaust out the bottom, right or the left, use the accessory
exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. Make sure the room in which the dryer
is located has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there are no air-ow
obstructions. For gas dryers, adequate clearance must be maintained as noted on the data
plate to ensure adequate air for combustion and the proper dryer operation.
The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water
and/or weather. The dryer area must be kept clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and
other ammable vapors and liquids. A dryer produces combustible lint. The area around
the dryer should be kept lint-free.

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.
NOTE
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.

Troubleshooting
Checkpoints
If the dryer operates abnormally, rst check the list of problems in the table below and
try the suggested actions.
Problem Action
Dryer does not start.
• Make sure the dryer is plugged in.
• Make sure the door is properly closed.
• Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• If you opened the door during a cycle, press again.
• Clean the lter.
• Make sure Child Lock is not activated.
The dryer does not
warm up.
• Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
• Some cycles do not require heat. Check the selected cycle
again.
• For a gas dryer, make sure the gas supply is on.
• Clean the lint lter and exhaust duct.
• The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the
cycle.
Items are not dried.
Check all of the above. Additionally:
• Make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and
close freely.
• Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be
inspected and cleaned annually.
• Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
• Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
• Dry heavy items and light weight items separately.
• Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may
require repositioning to ensure even drying.
• Make sure that your washer is draining properly and
extracting adequate water from the load.
• The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few
towels and restart the dryer.
• The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some
items and restart the dryer.
• Clean the lint lter.
DV5000F_LED_WEB_Vent_EN.indd 46DV5000F_LED_WEB_Vent_EN.indd 46 2025/9/5 10:00:162025/9/5 10:00:16
English 47
Problem Action
The dryer is too loud.
• Look for coins, loose buttons, nails, and other objects and
remove them immediately.
• Check the lint lter. Remove any items stuck inside the lint
lter.
• Make sure the dryer is level and standing rmly on the oor.
• The dryer may hum due to air moving through the drum and
fan. This is normal.
• It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element
cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
Items are not dried
evenly.
• Seams, pockets, and other parts of clothing are harder to dry
than others. This is normal.
• Sort heavy and light items separately.
There is a smell
coming from the
dryer.
• The smell of paint, varnish, cleaning agents, and other
household items could have circulated in the air and entered
the dryer. If you notice such a smell, ventilate completely
before using the dryer.
• If drying in an enclosed area, the dryer could cause the
ambient temperature to rise. Accordingly, make sure to open
a window and ventilate the area.
• Do not attempt to dry wet items after leaving them in the
washing machine or dryer for a long time.
The dryer turns off
before the items are
dry.
• The load is too small. Throw in few additional items like
towels and try drying again.
The clothes have lint
on them.
• Always make sure the lint lter is clean before putting items
into the dryer. When drying items that generate a large
amount of lint, you may need to clean the lint lter in the
middle of a cycle.
• Some fabrics (such as white towels) causes more lint and
should be dried separately from fabrics that lint attaches
easily (such as black linen pants).
• Check the inside of the pockets to make sure they are empty
before drying.
Items still wrinkled
after Wrinkle Prevent
(Wrinkle Away,
Wrinkle Release).
• Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
• Load fewer items. Load similar-type items.
• Take out the items immediately after drying is complete.
