Exhaust System Maintenance
The dryer interior and the complete exhaust system
should be inspected after one year of use and cleaned if
necessary. Inspect and clean exhaust duct every one to
two years as required thereafter. The weather hood
should be checked frequently to make sure the dampers
move freely, dampers are not pushed in and that nothing
has been set against them. This maintenance work should
be done by a qualified service person.
Exhausting the dryer in hard-to-reach locations can be
accomplished by installing the 521P3 Flexible Metal
Vent Kit, available as optional equipment at extra cost.
The kit comes in two halves that can be separately
attached to the dryer and wall outlet. Once attached, the
unit can be slid back into position.
Dryer Airflow
Efficient dryer operation requires proper dryer airflow.
Proper dryer airflow can be evaluated by measuring the
static pressure.
Static pressure in the dryer’s exhaust duct should be no
greater than that shown in the chart below. (Check with
dryer running and no load.)
NOTE: This can be measured with a manometer
placed on the exhaust duct approximately two feet (61
cm) from the dryer, see illustration below.
Reduced Clearance Elbow
Installing the dryer in shallow closets can be
accomplished by using an Elbow, Part No. 62688, which
is one inch narrower than a standard venting elbow.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
disconnect the electrical service to the dryer
before cleaning.
