3 Fire Danger Due To Excessive Lint
Danger!
ƒ
The dryer must not be operated if there are leaks in the air shield, such as
those caused by a defective seal.
ƒ
If the dryer is operated regardless of these leaks, this will result in heavy
lint in the appliance interior. Moisture can make this excessive lint soggy,
which will lead to electrical short circuits and possibly fire.
ƒ
Indications of excessive lint: a poorly maintained dryer, long running time
(fixed maximum time has been exceeded), water under the fascia panel.
ƒ
Remedy:
-
Remove all lint from the dryer.
-
Find and repair leaks.
4 Restoring the Ground Connection after Dismantling the
Front and Side Panels
ƒ
The ground connection for laundry-care appliances is established via
screws: raised-head screws with teeth or serrated washers underneath
connect the ground lead to the interference-suppression filter, the front
panel, the side panels and the housing frame. These screws are different
from the rest of the appliance screws in their diameter, type of thread, and
type and material of the washer.
ƒ
The ground connection is made only if the ground screws are screwed
into their correct positions during reassembly.
ƒ
When dismantling the front and side panels, mark the positions of the
ground screws. During reassembly, screw the ground screws into these
same positions.
ƒ
To check the proper screw positions, measure the resistance of the
ground connection loop.
