Automatic Drain Valve Disassembly and
Servicing
The drain valve discharges condensate through a
-inch diameter port. Cleaning may be required under con-
ditions of gross particulate contamination. To disassemble
the drain valve for cleaning or other maintenance:
1.
Turn power switch off.
2.
Disconnect main power supply to dryer.
3.
Lock out and tag power supply in accordance with
OSHA requirements.
WARNING
If power supply is not disconnected before disas-
sembly, serious personal injury and valve damage
may result.
4.
Remove screw and washer from front of valve.
5.
Remove the power supply connector and gasket from
the solenoid coil housing. Do not damage or lose the
gasket.
6.
Remove 13mm nut and spring washer from top of so-
lenoid coil housing.
7.
Lift solenoid coil housing off solenoid core in valve body.
8.
Unscrew solenoid core from valve body. Once the valve
is disassembled, the following maintenance can be
performed.
9.
Inspect diaphragm; clean or replace as required.
10. Remove debris from valve body.
11. Wipe solenoid core components with a clean cloth or
blow out debris with compressed air from an OSHA-
approved air nozzle that limits its discharge pressure
to 30 psig.
12. Check that small port in diaphragm assembly is clear
and solenoid coil moves freely in housing. Viton seals
are compatible with commonly used synthetic lubri-
cants.
CAUTION
Do not disassemble timer or attempt to repair elec-
trical parts. Replace timer if defective.
To reassemble the valve, reverse the sequence of the pre-
ceding steps. After the valve is reassembled, connect the
main power supply to the dryer. When the dryer is returned
to service, check the valve for air or condensate leaks;
tighten connections as required to correct leaks. Check the
drain cycle; adjust the timer according to the procedure in
the section.
Adding Glycol
To add glycol to the tank, a mixture of three (3) parts water
to one (1) part propylene glycol should be added to bring
the level up to approximately 2 inches above the heat ex-
changer coils. DO NOT USE ETHYLENE GLYCOL.
