On Kenmore Elite steam dryers, the display reports ductwork restriction in steps (d80, d90, d95) and a blinking CHECK VENT, which the guide says is an exhaust problem rather than a dryer failure. Source: Kenmore - Kenmore Elite Steam Dryer Use & Care Guide (796.8178/796.9178)

Care Kenmore Recommends for Its Dryers
- If the lint screen looks clogged when held to the light, scrub it with hot soapy water and a stiff brush and let it dry fully before reinstalling. Source: Kenmore - Kenmore Elite Steam Dryer Use & Care Guide (796.8178/796.9178)
- Use only 4-inch rigid or semi-rigid metal duct (no plastic or foil), check it for lint monthly and clean it at least yearly; one Elite steam model allows about 65 feet with no elbows and 28 feet with four 90-degree elbows using a 4-inch hood.
