Heating
Electric heated dryers
The electric heating element
A
is located in
the bottom of the chimney, fig. 1.
The air is drawn through the louvres on the
back plate and on to the heating element.
The heated air passes through the garments
and the drum vents.
Then the air flows from the perforation through
the filter and via the outlet into the air.
The heating element is switched on by the
heating contactor K4, which is controlled by
the Compass Control.
Overheating thermostat
Electric heated dryers are equipped with two
overheating thermostats connected in series
(one 180°C and one 90°C) which switches
off in case of overheating and error code
E08
flashes in the display, fig. 2.
The switching on (reset) must be done
manually but first the cause of the error must
be detected and the switched off overheating
thermostat must be found.
This error is often caused by reduction of the
air circulation in the dryer due to insufficient
air in the room or due to the dryer being
overloaded.
If the dryer is stopped before the cool down
sequence has ended the after-heat can cause
the overheating thermostats to switch off.
The following error code is related to this
section.
E 08
