8 FLOW SENSOR FUNCTION
8-1 Flow sensor
This FlowSenseTM function detects the clogging or blocking of ducts.
Clogged duct vents or hoses decrease e fficiency in drying clothes. Clogged vents can also cause fire.
This function alarms you, when to clean the ducts.
When the alarm about duct clogging is on display of the panel, your duct vents should be cleaned by
yourself or serviceman.

Refer to the next page for error code details and solutions.
Your dryer features FLOW SENSETM , 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.
