FLOW SENSOR FUNCTION 8-1 Flow sensor This FlowSense function detects the clogging or blocking of ducts. Clogged duct vents or hoses decrease efficiency in drying cloths. Clogged vents can also cause fire. This function alerts you to the need of cleaning the duct. When the alarm about Duct clogging is on display of the panel, your duct vents should be cleaned by yourself or serviceman.
8-2 Installation check This feature allows you to quickly verify that the exhaust system is adequate for the normal function of the dryer. The check takes only two minutes. The results of the check are displayed in the FlowSense display window as shown below (Fig.
8-3 Troubleshooting for flow sensor dryer 1. Flow sensor bars light up Is lint filter full? Clean lint filter before every load Is duct clogged? Check & clean duct. 2. Flow sensor bars light up and does not disappear. Bars are displayed and do NOT disappear *Control Panel Make sure that the ductwork is not crushed or restricted.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST 1. This TEST should be used for Factory test /Service test. Do not use this DIAGNOSTIC TEST other than specified. 2. Activating the Heater manually with the Door open may trip the Thermostat attached to the Heater, therefore do not activate it manually.
