Connecting the Washer to the Power Supply

Plug the washer into a 120 VAC, 60 Hz grounded 3-prong outlet.Do not use a worn or damaged power cord or power plug. Replace or repair it immediately. Failure to do so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or malfunction.Do not modify the power cord and plug provided with the appliance. Do not damage it when installing or moving the appliance. Doing so may result in death, fire, electric shock, or malfunction.Make sure that the appliance is grounded.Connect this appliance to a grounded outlet conforming to the rating prior to use. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, or malfunction.Do not damage or cut off the ground prong of the power cord. Doing so may cause death, fire, electric shock, or product malfunction.Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.The appliance and outlet must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.Do not use an adapter or extension cord. Doing so may result in serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.For best performance, plug the appliance into its own individual outlet. This helps prevent overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.If necessary, use a new, UL-listed 3-prong (grounding) plug rated at no less than the branch circuit. Do not use an extension cord longer than 3 feet. Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

Testing the Washer

Check if the washer is properly installed and run a test cycle.Load the washer with 6 thick bath towels (approximately 6 pounds).Press the Power button.Press the Speed Wash button.Select the Start/Pause button to start the wash cycle.Make sure that water is supplied, that the washer does not rock or vibrate excessively, and that it drains well during the spin cycle.If water leaks during water supply, see Connecting the Water Inlet Hoses to connect them properly.If the appliance rocks and vibrates excessively, see Leveling the Appliance to level it again.If the drain does not work, see Connecting the Drain Hose to install the hose properly.Before the first wash, select the Normal cycle and add a half amount of detergent. Start the appliance without clothes. This will remove possible residue and water from the drum that may have been left during manufacturing.

Testing the Dryer

Once you have completed the installation of the appliance, use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of the appliance. This test should be performed to alert you to any serious problems in the exhaust system of your home.Your appliance features Flow Sense(W), an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.Close the dryer door and press the Power button to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/Pause buttons to start the test. When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after approximately two minutes.Close the dryer door and press the Power button to turn the dryer on. Press the Time Dry and Start/Pause buttons to start the test. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow. The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer. Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inch (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as it may affect the accuracy of the results.Press the Power button and then press and hold the Reduce Static and Energy Saver buttons.This button sequence activates the installation test. The code 1Ns will display if the activation is successful.Press the Start/Pause button.The appliance will start the test, which will last a few minutes. The heat will be turned on and the temperatures in the drum will be measured.Check the display for results.During the test cycle, monitor the Flow Sense(W) display on the control panel. If the Flow Sense(W) indicator has not turned on when the cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust system is severely restricted, the Flow Sense(W) indicator will turn on. Other problems may also be shown with error codes. See the chart on the next page for error code details and solutions.If the Flow Sense(W) display indicates that the exhaust system is severely restricted, have the system checked immediately, as performance will be poor.End of cycle.At the end of the test cycle, ENd will display. The test cycle will end and the appliance will shut off automatically after a short delay.If the Flow Sense(W) indicator is turned on, check the exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.When the appliance 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 the installation test, the number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same.Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in inaccurate results.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.Check the error code before you call for service.Error CodePossible Cause & SolutiontE1 or tEzTemperature sensor failure.Turn off the appliance and call for service.HsHumidity sensor failure.Turn off the appliance and call for service.Ps, PF, or NPElectric dryer power cord is not connected correctly, or house power supply is incorrect.Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse. Do not increase the fuse capacity.House fuse is blown, circuit breaker has tripped, or power outage has occurred.If the problem is a circuit overload, have it corrected by a qualified electrician.QAsGas supply or service turned off. (Gas Model only.)Confirm that house gas shutoff and the dryer gas shutoff are both fully open.Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or bends.
