Step-by-step installation

Make sure you have a qualified technician install the dryer. Step by step installation instructions start below.

  • Do not remove the protective film on the door before completing the product installation. If you remove the protective film before the installation is complete, the door may get scratched or damaged during installation.
  • Make sure the installation location allows enough space for the dryer door to be fully open.

STEP 1 Install the exhaust system

  1. Select a location and move the dryer to the site. For easy access, we recommend you install the dryer in the same location as your washer.
  2. To change the door direction, see “Door reversal” on page 32.
  3. Install the exhaust system as instructed in the “Exhaust ducting guide” section.

NOTE

  • To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushions from the packaging on the floor. Tip the dryer on its side so it lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its final location, and then set the dryer upright.
  • Secure room around the dryer to facilitate ducting and wiring.

STEP 2 Connect the gas line (for gas models)

Before connecting the gas line, make sure you have read the “Gas requirements” section on page 17.

  1. Remove the protective cap from the gas pipe.
  2. Apply an LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)-safe compound or 1.5 wraps of Teflon tape to all threaded connections.
  3. Connect the gas supply to the dryer. An additional fitting is required to connect the 3/4” (1.9 cm) female thread end of a flexible connector to the 3/8” (1 cm) male threaded end on the dryer. Tighten up the fitting over all threads.
  4. Turn on the gas supply, and check for any leaks using a soap solution. If a leak is found, tighten the connections and try again. Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

STEP 3 Connect the electrical wiring (for electric models)

Before connecting the electrical wiring, make sure you have read the “Electrical requirements” section on page 18.

3-wire system

A. External ground connector

B. Neutral grounding wire (white)

C. Center silver-colored terminal block screw

D. Neutral wire (white or center wire)

E. 3/4” (1.9 cm) UL-listed strain relief

  1. Loosen or remove the screws from the center terminal block.
  2. Connect the neutral wire (white or center wire) of the power cable to the center, silver-colored terminal screw of the terminal block. Tighten the screws.
  3. Connect the other wires to outer terminal block screws. Tighten the screws.
  4. Tighten the strain relief screws.
  5. Insert the terminal block cover into the rear panel of the dryer. Then, secure the cover with a hold-down screw.

CAUTION

  • To convert from the 4-wire system to 3-wire system, connect the ground strap to the terminal block support to ground the dryer frame to the neutral conductor.
  • Ring-type terminals are recommended. If using strap terminals, make sure they are tightened.
  • Before Installing the Dryer, confirm 240 V is present between L1 and L2 at the power receptacle. If the Voltage is low, it may not dry properly. Review the “Electrical requirements” section on page 18 if needed.

4-wire system

A. External ground connector

B. Neutral grounding wire (white)

C. Center silver-colored terminal block screw

D. Neutral wire (white or center wire)

E. 3/4” (1.9 cm) UL-listed strain relief

F. Neutral wire (white or center wire)

1. Remove the external ground connector’s screw and connect the ground wire (green or unwrapped) of the power cable to the screw.

2. Loosen or remove the screws from the center terminal block.

3. Connect the neutral wire (white or center wire) and ground wire (white) to the center screw of the terminal block. Tighten the screw.

4. Connect the other wires to the outer terminal block screws. Tighten the screws.

5. Tighten the strain relief screws. 6. Insert the tab of the terminal block cover into the rear slot of the dryer. Secure the cover with a hold-down screw.

CAUTION Before Installing the Dryer, confirm 240 V is present between L1 and L2 at the power receptacle. If the Voltage is low, it may not dry properly. Review the “Electrical requirements” section on page 18 if needed.

  • All U.S. models are designed for a 3-wire system connection. The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-wire system connection is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral. If you use the 4-wire system, you cannot ground the dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
  • Remove the terminal block cover plate. Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal block.
  • A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight. Use a 3/8” (1 cm) deep well socket.

STEP 4 Level the dryer

To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.

Using a level (A), check if the dryer is level side to side and then front to back. If the dryer is not level, turn the leveling feet (B) clockwise to lower the dryer or counterclockwise to raise the dryer

NOTE

  • To set the dryer to the same height as your washer, fully retract (A) the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen (B) the feet by turning them clockwise. Once the dryer is the same height as the washer, follow the directions above to level the dryer.
  • Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

STEP 5 Power on (for gas models)

Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then, plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer’s installation and operation using the final checklist in Step 6 below.

STEP 6 Final Check

When installation is complete, confirm that:

  • The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
  • The exhaust ductwork is connected, and the joints are taped.
  • You have used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct.
  • The dryer is level and is sitting firmly on the floor.
  • The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.
  • The gas is supplied properly with no leaks (For gas models only).

CAUTION The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

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.

Running the vent blockage test

  1. 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.)
  2. Press the Power button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the Adjust Time ^ 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.)
  3. 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.
  4. 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. For description about the code, see the “Installation check codes” section on page 30.

If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display. For description about the code, see the “Information codes” section on page 51.

  • 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.

NOTE

  • During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns. The Vent Blockage Test is used to check for problems in the current duct system when the dryer is installed for the first time.
  • If the test result displays check code (the duct system is blocked ), refer to the “Ducting requirements” section on page 15 and the “Exhaust ducting guide” section below, and then take proper measures to correct any problems. If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results. Follow the proper procedures when testing the dryer.
  • Even if the test result is normal (“0”), the duct system could be blocked slightly. Properly install all duct work according to the installation instructions in this manual.

Installation check codes

Check code: 0

  • Meaning: Vent condition is good.

Check code: Clg (Cg)

  • Meaning: The vent is clogged.

Check code: C90 (C9)

Exhaust ducting guide

Ducting

  1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
  2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection. Never use lint-trapping screws.
  3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.

Cleaning

Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. We recommend that you clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis

WARNING

  • To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible ducts of any kind.
  • Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer’s performance.
  • Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
  • Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.

Door reversal

Type 1

1. Put a soft rug on the floor to rest the door on after you have removed it. This will prevent the door from being scratched.

2. Unplug the power cord.

3. Remove two door hinge screws.

4. Lift the door and remove it.

NOTE There is a screw on the back side of the hinge that will support the door as you unscrew the hinge screws.

5. Remove the two screws that are above and below the cut-out in the frame front.

6. Remove the two screws above and below the lever holder on the opposite side of the door opening.

7. Remove the two screws that hold the lever holder in place, and then remove the lever holder.

8. Re-insert the two screws that held the lever holder into the same screw holes, and then tighten.

9. Remove the single screw from the back of the door hinge.

NOTE This is the screw that supports the door against the frame so you can unscrew or screw in the hinge without needing to support the door yourself.

10.Insert the screw you just removed into the other screw hole on the back of the door hinge, and then tighten.

11.Place the door on the other side, and then reattach it to the dryer.

NOTE Insert the head of the screw on the back of the hinge into the hole above the cut out in the frame, and then slide the door hinge down until it stops. Make sure the protrusion on the back of the hinge is pressed into the cut out before you tighten the hinge screws.

12.Push the lever holder into the cut out on the other side of the door opening. Insert screws, and then tighten as shown.

13.Re-attach the remaining screws to the remaining holes above and below the lever holder, and then tighten.

Before you start

Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer

Sort and load

  • Put one wash load in the dryer at a time.
  • Do not mix heavy and lightweight items together.
  • To improve drying efficiency for one or two items, add a dry towel to the load.
  • For best results, untangle items before inserting them into the dryer. Tangled items may degrade the drying efficiency or cause the door to open.
  • Overloading reduces the tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying and wrinkling.
  • Unless recommended on the care label, do not dry woolens or fiberglass items.
  • Avoid drying unwashed items.
  • Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol, gasoline, etc.

Functional prerequisite

Maintenance

Cleaning

Control panel

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
  • Do not spray liquid cleaning agents directly onto the dryer display.
  • Some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain removers may damage the control panel.
  • When using liquid cleaning agents, apply them to the cleaning cloth. Do not apply them directly to the dryer. Wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.

Drum

  • Remove any stains from the drum with an all-purpose cleaner.
  • Tumble old towels or rags to remove any remaining stains or cleaning substances. Stains may still be visible, but will not affect subsequent loads.

Powder coated drum

  • To clean the powder coated drum, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for easily marred surfaces. Remove cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.

Dryer exterior

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
  • Protect the surface from sharp objects.
  • Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent container on the dryer. They can scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.
  • The dryer has a high-gloss finish on the entire surface. Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface.

Exhaust system

  • Check and clean the exhaust system on a regular basis to maintain optimum performance.
  • The external exhaust hood must be cleaned frequently to ensure proper air flow.

Troubleshooting

Checkpoints

If the dryer operates abnormally, first check the list of problems in the table below and try the suggested actions.

Does not run.

  • Make sure the door is latched shut.
  • Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
  • Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
  • Press or tap Start/Pause (Hold to Start) again if the door was opened during a cycle.
  • Clean the lint filter.

Does not heat.

  • 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 filter and exhaust duct.
  • The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
  • Turn off the Eco Dry option for the NORMAL or TIME DRY cycles. When the Eco Dry option is on, the dryer performs an air dry process in the beginning of the cycle to reduce energy consumption. The air dry process does not use heated air, so you may feel that the dryer is not being heated, but this is normal.

Does not dry

  • Check all of the above, plus...
  • 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 filter.

Is noisy.

  • Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.
  • It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
  • Make sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instructions.
  • It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system.

Dries unevenly

  • Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose a higher dryness level or a cycle that involves a higher dryness level.
  • If one heavy item is dried with a light weight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level.
  • For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light weight items separately.

Has odors.

  • Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler, and exhausts it outside.
  • When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the room before using the dryer.
  • Use the REFRESH cycle. If odors persist, wash and dry the items again.

Lint on clothes

  • Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. For clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the filter during the cycle.
  • Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they must be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants).
  • Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
  • Check pockets thoroughly before drying, then dry clothes.
  • Remove lint inside the drum before drying a load.

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.

Water drips from the nozzle when the Steam cycles starts.

  • This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.

Sprayed water is not visible during Steam cycles.

  • Sprayed water is difficult to see when the door is closed.

Extended time.

  • Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level is reached. The drying time can change according to the type and amount of laundry. See the cycle chart for reference.

Information codes

If the dryer fails to operate, you may see an information code on the display panel. To determine what you should do, check the list of codes in the table below, and then try the suggested actions.
