Electronic Control Troubleshooting
18. Theory of Operation of Instant Electronic Ignition
IMPORTANT: The Non-CE Marked Instant
Electronic Ignition system will attempt to light the
gas by sparking for approximately 12 seconds. If
gas ignition does not take place within
approximately 12 seconds, the Instant Electronic
Ignition control will go into safety lockout and the
valve will no longer open until Instant Electronic
Ignition control is reset. To reset Instant Electronic
Ignition control, remove power from control by
opening and closing the tumble dryer door. If
condition persists, check that the gas shut-off valve
is in “on” position and that the gas service is
properly connected.
If condition persists:
a. Check resistance of high tension lead
(approximately 1000 ohms/inch), and replace
if not within resistance range.
b. Check voltage present at valve.
c. Check that machine is properly grounded.
d. Check the igniter gap (gap should be .110 to
.140 inch).
e. Check that burner ports are not blocked or
plugged under the igniter.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the tumble dryer before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumble dryer before servicing.
• Close steam valve to steam tumble dryer before servicing.
• Never start the tumble dryer with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the tumble dryer is properly grounded.
