7. Check
ALL
service doors to insure that they are closed and secure.
8. Be sure the lint drawer is securely in place.
IMPORTANT:
LINT DRAWER
MUST BE
CLOSED TO ACTIVATE SAFETY SWITCH
OTHERWISE THE DRYER WILL NOT START.
9. Rotate the basket (tumbler or drum) by hand to be sure it moves freely.
10. Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals and fittings for security.
11. Check tumbler bearing set screws to insure they are
ALL
tight.
I. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS
ALL
dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test
should be
performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or
due to marginal location (installation) conditions.
1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.
2. Make sure the main door and lint door are closed.
3. Refer to the operating instructions for starting your particular model dryer.
4. Check to ensure the basket (tumbler) starts in the clockwise (CW) direction. Additionally, check the
direction of the blower motor impellor (fan) to ensure the impellor (fan) rotates in the clockwise (CW)
position as viewed from the front. If it is, the phasing is correct. If the phasing is incorrect, reverse two (2)
of the leads at L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply connections made to the dryer.
IMPORTANT
:
Dryer blower motor impellor/fan as viewed from above
must turn
in the clockwise (CW)
direction, otherwise dryer efficiency will drastically be reduced and premature
component failure can result.
HEAT CIRCUIT OPERATIONAL TEST
a. Gas Models
1) When the dryer is first started (during initial start-up), the burner has a tendency not to ignite on the
first attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a few minutes for
this air to be purged from the lines.
2) The dryer is equipped with a Hot Surface Ignition system which has internal diagnostics. If ignition is
not established after the first attempt, the computer will go into retry mode. If ignition is not
established after two (2) retries, no heat condition occurs.
NOTE
: During the purging period, check to be sure
ALL
gas shut-off valves are open.
3) Once ignition is established, a gas pressure test
should be
taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each
dryer to assure that the water column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.
