DRYER MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Cleaning the Dryer Location

Keep dryer area clear and free from items that would block the airflow for proper dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the dryer.

Cleaning the Dryer Interior

To clean dryer drum:

1. Use nonflammable cleaner or a mild hand dish detergent mixed at a low concentration with very warm water, and rub with a soft cloth.

• Rinse well with a wet sponge or towel.
• Tumble a load of clean clothes or towels to dry drum.

2. Use a microfiber cloth and hot water in a spray bottle to clean the drum and a second microfiber towel to dry.

Removing Accumulated Lint

From inside the dryer cabinet:

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done by a qualified appliance service or ventilation system cleaner.

From the exhaust vent:

Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often, depending on dryer usage.

Cleaning the Lint Screen

Every load cleaning:

The lint screen may be located either in the door opening or the top of the dryer depending on model. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.

To clean:

1. Remove the lint screen. If necessary, press the tab to release and open the lint screen. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers. Do not rinse or wash screen to remove lint. Wet lint is hard to remove.

2. Push the lint screen firmly back into place.

As-needed cleaning:

Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer. Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months, or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue buildup.

To wash:

1. Roll lint off the screen with your fingers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent. Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue buildup.

4. Rinse screen with hot water.

5. Thoroughly dry lint screen with a clean towel. Reinstall screen in dryer.

Changing the Drum Light (on some models)

1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the back wall of the dryer. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver or 1/4" (6.35 mm) nut driver or socket wrench, remove the screw located in the lower right-hand corner of the cover. Remove the cover.

3. Turn bulb counterclockwise. Replace the bulb with a 10 W appliance bulb only. Replace the cover and secure with the screw.

4. Plug in dryer or reconnect power.

Accessories and replacement parts are available for your model. For ordering and contact information, please reference your Quick Start Guide.

Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow

Good Airflow

Along with heat, dryers require good airflow to efficiently dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.

The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role in good airflow. Blocked or crushed vents as well as improper venting installation will reduce air flow and dryer performance.

Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless of who installed the dryer. To clean or repair venting, contact a venting specialist.

Maintain Good Airflow

• Cleaning your lint screen before each load.
• Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm) diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
• Use the shortest length of vent possible.
• Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system; each bend and curve reduces airflow.

• Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
• Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure to follow the Installation Instructions for final product check.
• Clear away items from the front of the dryer.

Nonuse, Storage, and Moving Care

Nonuse or Storage Care

If you will be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended period of time, you should:

1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
3. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to avoid unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

Moving Care

For power supply cord-connected dryers:

1. Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Steam models only: Shut off water faucet. Disconnect the water inlet hose from faucet; then drain the hose. Transport hose separately.
3. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
4. Use tape to secure dryer door.

For direct-wired dryers:

1. Turn off power at fuse or breaker box.
2. Disconnect wiring.
3. Steam models only: Shut off water faucet.
4. Steam models only: Disconnect the water inlet hose from faucet; then drain the hose. Transport hose separately.
5. Make sure leveling legs are secure in dryer base.
6. Use tape to secure dryer door.

Special Instructions for Steam Models

Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing weather, winterize it.

Water inlet hose

Replace inlet hose and hose screen after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hose if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hose, record the date of replacement.

To winterize the dryer:

1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Shut off water faucet.
3. Disconnect water inlet hose from faucet and drain.

To use the dryer again:

1. Flush water pipes. Reconnect water inlet hose to faucet. Turn on water faucet.

Venting Requirements

• Only a 4" (102 mm) heavy metal exhaust vent and clamps may be used.
• Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

Rigid metal vent:

• Recommended for best drying performance and to avoid crushing and kinking.

Flexible metal vent (acceptable only if accessible to clean):

• Must be fully extended and supported in final dryer location.
• Remove excess to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
• Do not install in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
• The total length should not exceed 7 3/4 ft. (2.4 m).
• The length of flexible metal vent used must be included in the overall vent system design as shown in the “Vent System Chart.”

Exhaust hoods:

• An exhaust hood should cap the vent to keep rodents and insects from entering the home.
• Must be at least 12" (305 mm) from ground or any object that may obstruct exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, bushes, or snow).
• Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.

Elbows:

• 45° elbows provide better airflow than 90° elbows.

Clamps:

• Use clamps to seal all joints.
• Exhaust vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices that extend into interior of duct and catch lint. Do not use duct tape.

Vent products can be purchased from your dealer. For

Plan Vent System

Recommended exhaust installations:

Typical installations vent the dryer from the rear of the dryer. Other installations are possible.

Optional exhaust installations:

Some models can be converted to exhaust out the right side, left side, or through the bottom. If you prefer, you may contact your local dealer to have the dryer converted.

Alternate installations for close clearances

Venting systems come in many varieties. Select the type best for your installation. Two close-clearance installations are shown.

Special provisions for mobile home installations:

Exhaust vent must be securely fastened to a noncombustible portion of the mobile home and must not terminate beneath the mobile home. Terminate exhaust vent outside.

Determine vent path:

• Select route that will provide straightest and most direct path outdoors.
• Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
• When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room as possible.
• Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
• Use as few 90° turns as possible.

Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying performance:

• Use following “Vent System Chart” to determine type of vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.

NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those specified in Vent System Chart.” Exhaust systems longer than those specified will:

• Shorten life of dryer.
• Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times and increased energy usage.

The “Vent System Chart” provides venting requirements that will help achieve best drying performance.

Additional Elbows

In cases in which the Installation Instructions do not address the vent length for the specific number of elbows required for a particular application, the following calculations may be used.

The total vent system length includes all straight and curved portions of the vent system):

• For 90° elbows, reduce the allowable vent system length by 10Ft. (3.05 m).
• For 45° elbows, reduce the allowable vent system length by 6Ft. (1.83 m).

For example, if the Installation Instructions state that a dryer is allowed 40 Ft. (12.2 m) of total vent length with two 90° bends, the total allowable vent length would be reduced by 10 Ft. (3.0 m) from 40 Ft [12.2 m] to 30 Ft. [9.1m]).

Install Vent System

1. Install exhaust hood

Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.

2. Connect vent to exhaust hood

Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure vent, because they can catch lint.

Connect Inlet Hoses
