IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT STEAM CYCLES:


• The steam feeder must be filled with water up to the MAX line. Otherwise, an error message
will be displayed.
• If the lint filter or exhaust duct is clogged, the steam options will not give proper results.
• For best results, load articles of similar size and fabric type. Do not overload.
• W ater only - Do not add any additives or other materials as these will damage your drye r.
• Before moving the dryer, make sure the steam feeder is empty.
• Best results are obtained with cotton/poly blend fabrics.

Test 4 t–š›œ™ŒGzŒ•š–™
NOTE: This test has two parts. The best test of the moisture sensing system is done in the diagnostic mode. This
FUNCTIONAL TEST will test the sensor bars, wiring harness and PCB operation. If the results of this test are normal,
the sensor system and PCB response are normal. The problem is somewhere else.

FUNCTIONAL TEST (Control)


1. Enter the diagnostic mode. (See DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE.)
2. With the door closed, press the START/PAUSE button once. The dryer will start tumbling without heat.
3. Open the door. The drum will stop tumbling and the “dE” error code will be displayed and the chime will sound several times (if turned on).
4. With one hand, reach into the drum and place your fingers across the moisture sensor bars.
(CAUTION: The dryer drum will turn in this test. Your hand will be close to the rotating drum vanes. Keep your hand close to the filter housing to
avoid being hit by the moving vanes.)
5. Use your other hand to press the door switch. The dryer drum will start rotating automatically.
6. Observe the numerical display. Depending on conditions, the number displayed should be between 30 and 255. The numbers should start
decreasing as the control senses the moisture in your skin.
7. After you have observed the number decreasing, remove your fingers from the sensor bars. The numbers will continue to decrease for a few
seconds (minimum 30) and the begin to increase (maximum 255).
