This 5 minute delay is controlled by the module and the delay is triggered when the programme is
interrupted for any reason, opening the door, pausing the cycle, power cut etc. This 5 minute delay only
counts down when the machine has the power turned On.
The compressor also has a self setting cut out positioned under the plastic cover on its top, this is
operated by excessive compressor temperature or excess current flow.
Motor
A two pole P.S.C. (permanent split capacitor) running at 2800 rpm with the impeller fitted to the rear
end of the shaft and the drive belt running directly in grooves in the front end of the shaft.
It is protected from overload by a self-resetting internal cut-out that interrupts the electrical supply to
the windings.
It is used together with a capacitor that is mounted on the base of the dryer.
Drum Rear Seal
This unit comprises of a ring of foam with a webbing bearing face. Lubrication is applied to the drum
where the webbing surface runs, to reduce noise and wear. The seal reduces air losses at the rear of
the drum. The joints in the foam are sealed with glue and the joints in the webbing are stitched to further
reduce air leakage.
Compressor Cooling Fan
The cooling fan is located on the RH side at the front of the base moulding immediately behind the air
inlet grill. The fan is controlled by the system pipe work NTC and operates when the NTC senses a
temperature of approximately 45°C or 53°C - depending on the programme selected.
Compressor
The compressor starts running at the beginning of the programme selected and will run continually for
the duration of the drying programme switching off during cool tumble.
If the power supply to the compressor is interrupted (i.e. if the door is opened) there will be a 5 minute
delay before power is restored, this delay is to enable the refrigeration system to equalise.
