Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Motor Control Circuit Error (F 01 Error)**
This issue arises when the dryer's motor control circuit fails, possibly due to a motor relay problem or a short circuit, causing the dryer to become inoperative until the error is addressed and manually cleared -
**Exhaust Thermistor Open (F 22 Error)**
This problem occurs when the exhaust thermistor opens, indicating a temperature drop below a specified threshold, which could be due to a faulty sensor or connection, disrupting the dryer's operation -
**Exhaust Thermistor Shorted (F 23 Error)**
Similar to the open thermistor issue, but in this case, the exhaust thermistor is shorted, with temperatures exceeding safe limits, suggesting a need for thermistor inspection or replacement -
**Communication Errors (F 70/F 71 Errors)**
These errors indicate a communication failure between the user interface and the central control unit, leading to the dryer's inability to accept commands until communication is restored -
**Voltage Issues (d 9 Error)**
This problem is detected when there is a voltage drop below 90 VAC, which can affect the dryer's performance and may require checking the power supply or electrical connections

Energy Efficiency Tips
- **Clean the Lint Filter Regularly**: Always clean the lint filter before or after every drying cycle to ensure efficient airflow and reduce drying time.
- **Use Sensor Dry Cycles**: Whenever possible, utilize sensor dry cycles rather than timed cycles. These cycles end as soon as the clothes are dry, saving energy.
- **Ensure Proper Ventilation**: Make sure the dryer's venting is properly installed without obstructions. Check and clean the exhaust vent periodically to improve airflow.
- **Dry Full Loads**: Consolidating laundry into fuller loads can make better use of the energy consumed. Avoid overloading, as this can lead to longer drying times and increased energy use.
- **Avoid Using High-Temperature Settings**: Opt for medium to low heat settings, which are adequate for most clothing and can prevent unnecessary energy use.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
- Ensure the dryer is properly grounded in accordance with local codes or the National Electrical Code.
- Use a new, CSA International approved gas supply line and install a shut-off valve to prevent explosions.
- Keep flammable materials and vapors away from the dryer, especially in locations such as garages.
