Hello there, thank you for your detailed question about the lint sensors in the DLE7150W dryer. The lint sensors monitor airflow and lint buildup during operation. If the sensors detect a significant reduction in airflow, which could happen if the lint filter needs cleaning or if there’s a blockage in the venting system, a warning light will illuminate on the control panel after several loads. This is a helpful reminder for homeowners to check and clean the lint filter and any potential obstructions in the vent. Additionally, if an external factor, like a bird's nest on a roof guard, blocks airflow, it could also trigger the sensor alert. Regular maintenance of both the lint filter and venting system is crucial for optimal performance.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't know. I clean the lint trap out after each load.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes the the light blinks indicating to clean the filter. A d90 or d95 code will display if duct work is blocked stopping air flow
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes a bird's nest would block airflow. As for the others, I have not seen this come up as I haven't been in the room or nearby to see it happen when the dryer has stopped. By the time I come back the dryer is dark. I usually hear it go off and then when finished I will clean out my lint filter to prepare it for next usage at a later date as my mother had taught me to do when she did the wash which made logical sense because it's a better way to keep to units in better operating condition.
