COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
CONSOLE PANEL
This panel contains the user controls, which consist of a timer knob, for selecting the timed and
sensed drying periods, two push switches for heat selection and buzzer selection and a momentary
switch to start the dryer. A Red LED glows to indicate when the dryer is active.
TIMER
The timer system is made up from up to three timers, two mounted on the console and one on the
kickstrip.
Timer 1 controls the motor and heater. This has a spindle to which a knob is attached to enable the
user to select the required programme. Timer 2 controls the motor reversing; this is mounted on the
kickstrip. Timer 3 is used to delay the start of a programme. This also has a spindle to which a knob
is attached to enable a time delay to be set by the user.
The dryer must be set to the high heat position for the Eco drying system to operate failure to do so
will cause the timer to advance to cool run without drying the load.
Timer 1
Mounted on the console, the timer is used to control the motor and heating during the drying
programmes. The timer incorporates a timed cycle with 130 minutes of heated drying followed by a
7.5 minute cool run (137.5 minutes maximum cycle time marked as 140 minutes on the timer knob).
Two ’Eco
'
programmes are incorporated with are automatic programmes to provide heated drying
until a thermostat operates (when the load is dry), the timer then advances to a 7.5 minute cool run.
The cam of this timer is held on the heated part of the cycle by cutting the circuit to its motor.
The dryer motor continues to be reversed by timer 2. When the load is dry, a thermostat in the front
duct of the dryer operates which powers the motor of timer 1 and this allows the timer to advance to
cool run. The two
'
Eco
'
programmes allow for different load sizes, for which different thermostats are
selected by the timer. Timer 2 reverses the motor direction every 2.5 minutes.
An optional crease removal programme is provided, which consists of 7.5 minutes of heat and motor
followed by a cool tumble period of 2.5 minutes. All of the above programmes have the option of an
external buzzer, which can sound until the timer is manually advanced.
Timer 2
Mounted on the base panel, the timer is used to control the reversal of the motor during the drying
programmes. The timer reverses the motor direction every 2.5 minutes.
Timer 3 - Not fitted to all models
This is an Electro-mechanical 12-hour timer used to delay the start of the drying cycle.
HEAT SWITCH
Normally open push-push switch. The switch locates into the facia moulding and it allows the user to
choose high or low heat settings. By consulting the wiring diagram, it can be seen that by operating
this switch, either all or half of the heater unit is selected, giving 2200W or 1100W.
For full heat switch is in the out position and low heat in the in (depressed) position.
High heat must be selected for the auto-drying programmes to operate, if low heat is selected the
dryer will advance to cool run
without
drying the load.
DOOR
A plastic moulded chassis with a glass bowl retained by plastic mouldings.
