CYCLE AND CONNECTED STATUS INDICATORS
7
Check Vent
This indicator will show the status of airflow through the dryer
and the dryer vent system for the dryer’s life. This feature is
available during Sensor and Steam Cycles only. During the
sensing phase at the beginning of the cycle, the Check Vent
light will come on if a blocked vent or low airflow issue is
detected. This light will stay on for the entire cycle. Should
the Check Vent light illuminate, refer to the “Troubleshooting”
section for potential solutions to the issue.
The light will be cleared when selecting a new cycle,
touching Power/Cancel, or opening the door after the cycle
has completed. Although the light will be cleared at the
beginning of a cycle, it will continue to illuminate during the
cycle unless the root cause is resolved.
NOTE: The dryer will continue to operate even while the
indicator is lit, but poor airflow can impact dry times and overall
performance. For more information on maintaining good airflow,
see “Check Your Vent System for Good Airflow.” If there are
other error issues during a cycle, the Check Vent indicator will
not light up. See the “Troubleshooting” section.
This will indicate that the selected cycle has ended and the
load may be removed from the dryer. If Wrinkle Prevent has
been selected, the dryer may continue to tumble the load,
even if “End” is showing in the display.

This will illuminate when the controls are locked.
NOTE: The Control Lock function may be enabled when
recovering from a power failure. To unlock the control, touch
and hold STEAM for at least 3 seconds.
