The steam damper should not “slam” (open or closed) when it reaches the end of (piston) travel.
Additionally, the steam damper should not bind and/or stop during travel. If either of these conditions
occur, the flow control
must be
adjusted. Refer to the
bottom illustration
on
page 34
for air adjustment
instructions.
4. Make a complete operational check of
ALL
safety-related circuits (i.e., lint drawer switch and sail switch
on gas models).
NOTE:
To check for proper sail switch operation, open the main door and while holding main door
switch plunger in, start dryer. Dryer should start but heat circuit
should not be
activated (on).
If heat (burner) does activate, shut the dryer off and make necessary adjustments.
5. Reversing basket (tumbler) dryers should never be operated with less than a 85 lb (38 kg) load (dry weight),
since the load’s weight affects basket (tumbler) coast time during a direction reversal command. It is
important that the basket (tumbler) come to a complete stop prior to starting in opposite direction.
a. Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Dryer Models
1) Spin and dwell (stop) times are not adjustable in the Automatic Mode and have been preprogrammed
into the microprocessor controller (computer) for a 120-second spin time and a 5-second dwell
(stop) time.
2) Spin and dwell (stop) times are adjustable in the Manual (Timed) Mode.
b. Dual Timer Dryer Models:
Spin and dwell (stop) times are adjustable at the reversing timer.
BASKET (TUMBLER) COATING
The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. It is suggested to dampen old garments or cloth
material with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumble them in the basket (tumbler) to
remove this coating.
6. Each dryer
should be
operated through one complete cycle to ensure that no further adjustments are
necessary and that
ALL
components are functioning properly.
7. Make a complete operational check of
ALL
operating controls.
a. Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Programs and Selections:
Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most
commonly used parameter (program) selections. If computer program changes are required, refer to
the computer programming manual, which was shipped with the dryer.
b. Dual Timer Dryer Models Check:
1) Heating Timer
2) Cool Down Timer
3) Temperature Selection Functions
