INSTALLATION TEST (Exhaust check)
Check the Error Code before you call for service
•
Error Code
tE1 or tE2
HS
PS or PF or nP
Check the duct condition
•
If the test displays four bars, check the exhaust system
for restrictions and damage. Repair or replace the
exhaust system as needed.
NOTE: When the dryer is first installed, this test should
be performed to alert you to any existing problems with
the exhaust duct in your home. However, since the
test performed during normal operation provides more
accurate information on the condition of the exhaust
duct than does the installation test, the number of bars
displayed during the two tests may not be the same.
IMPORTANT: Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this
could result in the wrong results.
NOTE: Even if no bars are displayed during the test
cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the
exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section
of this manual for complete exhaust system and venting
requirements.
