5. Make a complete operational check of
ALL
safety related circuits:
a. Door switch(es)
b. Hi-limit thermostats
c. Lint drawer switch
d. Sail switch (for gas models only)
NOTE:
To check for proper sail switch operation (for gas models only), open the main door and while
holding main door switch plunger in, start dryer. Dryer should start but heat circuit
should
not be
activated (on). If heat (burner) does activate, shut dryer off and make necessary
adjustments.
6. The dryer
should be
operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further adjustments are
necessary and that
ALL
components are functioning properly.
BASKET COATING
The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth
material with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler) to
remove this coating.
7. Make a complete operational check of
ALL
operating controls.
a. Microprocessor controller (computer) programs/selections...
1) Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most
commonly used parameter (program) selections. If computer program changes are required, refer
to the computer programming manual, which was shipped with the dryer.
8. Check the electric service phase sequence. While the dryer is operating, check to see if the blower wheel
(impellor/fan) is rotating in the proper direction. Looking from the front, the blower wheel (impellor/fan)
should spin in the clockwise (CW) direction. If it is, the phasing is correct. If the phasing is incorrect,
reverse two (2) of the three (3) leads at connections L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply to the dryer.
IMPORTANT:
If the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the wrong direction, this
will
not
only
drastically reduce drying efficiency, but it can also cause premature component failure.
9. A reversing basket (tumbler) dryer
should never be
operated with less than a 30 lb (13.7 kg) load (dry
weight). The size of the load will affect the coast-down and dwell (stop) times. The basket (tumbler) must
come to a complete stop before starting in opposite direction.
a. Microprocessor Models
1) Spin and stop times are not adjustable in the Automatic Mode and have been preprogrammed into
the microprocessor controller (computer) for 120-seconds spin time and a 5-second dwell (stop)
time.
2) Spin and stop times are adjustable in the Manual (timed) Mode.
