Indicator Messages
Excess static in
clothes after drying.
Fabric softener is not used or is used incorrectly.
• Use a fabric softener, if available, to reduce static electricity. Be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Clothes dried too long (overdried).
• Overdrying a load of laundry can cause a buildup of static electricity. Adjust settings and
use a shorter drying time. Select a lower dry level setting, if necessary.
Drying synthetics, permanent press, or synthetic blends.
• These fabrics are naturally more prone to static buildup. Try using fabric softener, or use a
lower dry level setting and/or shorter time settings.
Clothes have damp
spots after a dry
cycle.
Very large load or very small load. Single large item such as a blanket or comforter.
• If items are too tightly packed or too sparse the sensor may have trouble reading the
dryness level of the load. Use a Time Dry cycle for very small loads.
• Large, bulky items such as blankets or comforters can sometimes wrap themselves into a
tight ball of fabric. The outside layers will dry and register on the sensors, while the inner
core remains damp. When drying a single bulky item, it may help to pause the cycle once
or twice and rearrange the item to unwrap and expose any damp areas.
• To dry a few remaining damp items from a very large load or a few damp spots on a large
item after a sensor cycle has completed, empty the lint trap, and then set a Time Dry cycle
to finish drying the item(s).
Problem Possible Cause & Solution
Flow Sense indicator
(
W) shows four bars
during the drying
cycle or the display
shows
d8O after
drying.
Exhaust system is too long or has too many turns/restrictions.
• Install a shorter or straighter duct run. See the Installation Instructions for details.
Partial blockage of the ductwork due to lint buildup or other foreign object.
• Ductwork should be checked/cleaned immediately. Dryer can be used in this condition, but
drying times will be longer and energy consumption will increase.
The appliance has detected a restriction in the external dryer venting.
• If exhaust restrictions are sensed by the Flow Sense system, the indicator will remain on
for 2 hours after the end of the cycle. Opening the door or pressing the Power button will
turn off the display.
• This warning light is not a dryer failure and is not covered by the dryer warranty. Contact a
duct cleaning service to set up an appointment to have your exhaust system cleaned and
inspected.
The Flow Sense
indicator (
W)
remains active after
clearing the
restriction in the
venting.
After clearing the restriction, the Flow Sense system requires multiple, consecutive
cycles to determine that the performance value has improved before the Flow Sense
indicator is reset.
• If the Flow Sense indicator remains active for more than five cycles after the restriction has
been cleared, call for service.
Check filter indicator
(
K) is on during the
drying cycle.
Lint filter not cleaned properly.
• Remove the lint from the filter before every load. With the lint removed, hold the filter up
to a light to see if it is dirty or clogged. If it looks dirty, follow the cleaning instructions.
With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter
during the cycle.
