S.A.F.E. SYSTEM WATER VALVE CHECK
The operation of the water solenoid valve can be tested to ensure that the water supply system and valve are
functional. Before attempting a system check, be sure that
ALL
water supply shutoff valves to the dryer are in
the OPEN position; the dryer
must be
in the “READY” mode with no cycle loaded or in progress.
NON-COIN
1. Press and hold the red “STOP/CLEAR” key (while in “READY” mode and no cycle is in progress).
2. Press and hold the “A” key.
3. Water valve will open and water will be dispensed into basket (tumbler) area as long as both keys are held.
The Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will prompt the user to perform a S.A.F.E. system
valve check at every 4000 hours to ensure proper functionality. At the 4000 hour mark, the control will wait for
end of the cycle and then will prompt the user to “PLEASE EMPTY TUMBLER, THEN PRESS THE
‘STOP/CLEAR’ AND ‘A’ KEYS TO TEST THE WATER VALVE”. When the ‘STOP/CLEAR’ and ‘A’ keys
are pressed, the control will activate the S.A.F.E. system water valve for 2-seconds, at which point the control
will prompt the user with the following message: “IF WATER DID NOT TURN ON, CALL FOR SERVICE.
THANK YOU.”.
NOTE:
The control
will not
let the user continue until the valve test has been completed.
COIN
While the control is in the program mode, press and hold the “PAUSE” key for 3-seconds to get into the valve
test mode. Valve test mode: the control will display “PRESS AND HOLD MEDIUM TO OPEN WATER
VALVE”. When the medium key is pressed, the control will activate the water output.
S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
NON-COIN –
In the event that the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) detects a fault in the
S.A.F.E. system, the control will display the message “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED…READY”. To find out
why the S.A.F.E. system is disabling, press and hold the red “STOP/CLEAR” and green “START” keys. This
will cause the control to display a diagnostic message, as detailed in the “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM Diagnostics
Messages” section.
COIN –
In the event that the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) detects a fault in the S.A.F.E.
system, the control will display the message “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED…READY, INSERT XX TO
START”. To find out the reason for the S.A.F.E. system disabling, press and hold the red “PAUSE” and
“LOW” keys. This will cause the control to display a diagnostic message, as detailed in the following section.
