Ensure the mains power has been disconnected before servicing the dryer. If the mains
supply is required to be on to service the dryer, make sure it is turned off when removing any
electrical component or connection to avoid electric shock.
An anti-static strap is to be used as electrical static discharge (ESD) protection when
servicing electronic components.
Ensure the work area is in a tidy and orderly condition at all times so as not to cause a
hazard while service work is being completed. Always clean and tidy the dryer and work area
after service is completed.
Earth continuity and insulation resistance testing must be done at completion of service.
Warning:
Short together the phase and neutral pins on the plug so as not to damage any
electronic circuitry while checking insulation resistance.
When working around cut sheet metal edges use appropriate gloves or protection to
eliminate the chance of receiving a laceration.
While in diagnostics some safety devices are bypassed. Ensure you do not run
components unattended.
