DRYER OPERATION CHECK - Condenser Models
When Checking Heater, Drum Action or Thermistor Operation, you are advised to use a
Timed
Programme.
When Sensor Programmes are used, after the module has estimated the weight of the clothes and the
cycle time required to dry the clothes, the Dryer will start to reverse tumble.
Note:
This weight and estimated drying time are calculated by the module which monitors the front
thermistor temperature increase in the Front Air Duct over a period of time.
For example, a small load will allow a faster temperature rise at the front thermistor.
A large load would cause the temperature to rise more slowly.
Drum
When set to a Timed Programme the machine will reverse for a short period approximately every 5
minutes.
Heater
Faulty or Disconnected Thermistors
(Front and Rear) and the associated wiring will cause the
machine not to heat. (If an Auto Cycle is used the dryer may operate at ½ Heat, depending on cycle
used).
In these instances the machines will complete the Cycle without Heating with no indication to the user,
other than the load will be cold and wet at the end of the cycle.
One Element Open Circuit -
Dryer works at 1.15 kW and dries normally taking slightly longer to
complete the cycle.
Thermistors
Rear Thermistor (Located on Heater Frame) next to the Cycling and One-Shot cut-outs.
