FLOW SENSE™ DUCT BLOCKAGE SENSING SYSTEM INDICATOR
The FLOW SENSE™ duct blockage sensing system detects and alerts you to restrictions in the installed household ductwork that reduce
exhaust airflow through the dryer. If you see the alert: Clean or repair the ducts to remove the restrictions. Keep your ducts clean to help
increase efficiency and reduce long drying times caused by blocked ducts.
SMARTDIAGNOSIS™
Should you experience any technical difficulty with your dryer, it has the capability of transmitting data via your telephone to the
Customer Information Center. The call center agent records the data transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the issue,
providing a fast and effective diagnosis (refer to page 43).

grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system or an equipment-grounding conductor must be
run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
Electric shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded.
