What if the "Filter/Vent" indicator lights after cleaning the exhaust system?
Possible fault
Solution
The dryer is not operating efficiently
because the duct hose is too long.
Check the exhaust length and diameter
(see "How to calculate the effective
duct length"). A long exhaust hose will
increase program times and energy
consumption.
If the exhaust hose cannot be
shortened, the indicator can be turned
off by a service technician.
What if the program runs too long or stops?
Possible fault
Solution
The airflow is insufficient in the area of
the dryer.
Open a window or door to increase
airflow.
The lint filters are clogged.
Clean the lint filters (see "Dryer care").
The laundry was not spun sufficiently in
the washer.
Select a higher spin speed in the wash
program.
The dryer is overloaded.
Reduce the load size.
Metal zippers interfere with the dryer’s
moisture sensors.
Select a timed program to avoid over
drying.
An airflow gap of 3/8" (10 mm) must be
provided between the machine and the
floor.
This gap must not be blocked by a
toe-kick or thick piled carpets for
sufficient airflow.
What if the laundry is not dry enough?
Possible fault
The load contained too many dissimilar items (size and fabric.)
What if water has collected around the drum opening?
Possible fault
This is condensed moisture from the laundry.
