Drying time takes longer
With dryer power on

When measuring Valve 1 voltage,
is the valve at least 90 V DC?
Igniter operates?
(after 1 minute, igniter becomes reddish)
When measuring Valve 2 voltage, value is more
is the valve at least 90 V DC? (10 sec after igniter off)
When measuring terminal resistance on valve 1 and
valve 2, valves are more than1.5 ~ 2.5 k
Ω
?
(Measure after off )
If valve 1 and valve 2 read less than 10 V DC, are the
valves off?
