SECTION  VII

TROUBLESHOOTING

IMPORTANT: YOU MUST DISCONNECT and LOCKOUT THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY and

THE GAS SUPPLY BEFORE ANY COVERS or GUARDS ARE REMOVED

FROM THE MACHINE TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR CLEANING,

ADJUSTING, INSTALLATION, or TESTING OF ANY EQUIPMENT per

OSHA 

(Occupational Safety and Health Administration) 

STANDARDS.

The information provided will help isolate the most probable components associated with the difficulty

described.  The experienced technician

 

realizes, however, that a loose connection or broken/ shorted wire may be

at fault

 

where electrical components

 

are concerned and not necessarily the suspected component

 

itself.

Electrical parts 

should always be

 checked for failure before being returned to the

 

factory.

The information

 

provided 

should not be

 misconstrued as a handbook for use by an untrained person making

repairs.

IMPORTANT

: When replacing blown fuses, the replacement

 

must be

 

of the exact rating as the fuse

being replaced.

WARNING: ALL SERVICE and TROUBLESHOOTING 

SHOULD BE

 PERFORMED BY

A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL OR SERVICE AGENCY.

WARNING: WHILE MAKING REPAIRS, OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

DISPLAYED ON THE DRYER or SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL.
