Replace Connections not tight at element terminals Reduced air flow. Check for proper installation & maintenance of duct work. (See Installation Instructions) CAUTION DRYER TROUBLESHOOTING THIS MACHINE MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED It can be grounded thru the ground lead 4-prong power cord, if plugged into a properly grounded appliance outlet or thru a separate No. 12 or larger wire from the cabinet to an established ground. In all cases, the grounding method must comply with any local electrical code requirements. IMPORTANT - RECONNECT ALL GROUNDING DEVICES ALL PARTS OF THIS APPLIANCE CAPABLE OF CONDUCTING ELECTRICAL CURRENT ARE GROUNDED. IF GROUNDING WIRES, SCREWS, STRAPS, NUTS OR WASHERS USED TO COMPLETE A PATH TO GROUND ARE REMOVED FOR SERVICE, THEY MUST BE RETURNED TO THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION AND PROPERLY FASTENED. OPERATION - DRYER On electric model dryers, air is drawn into the heater housing and across the open coils of the electric heater. On gas model dryers, air is drawn into the combustion chamber and over the burner flame. It then is drawn through the tumbling clothes, picking up moisture and lint. Lint is filtered out as the air passes from the drum into the blower where it is discharged out the vent. The air temperature is controlled by the biased thermostat according to the setting of the fabric selector switch. The length of the drying cycle is controlled by the number of minutes selected on the timer, or automatically controlled by the timer, in conjunction with the electronic moisture sensor, for the type of fabric selected (automatic dry cycle). To operate the dryer, first check the lint screen and be certain that the screen is completely free of all lint. Place clothes in dryer and close door. (Dryer will not operate unless door is closed.) 1. Select the drying time, or automatic drying cycle, by turning timer knob to the right. 2. Set drying temperature using timer for the type of fabric being dried. 3. To start the dryer, turn the start knob to the right and hold for 2 seconds. DRUM SPEED 48-54 RPM in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front. RESISTORS The resistor, located in the thermostat heater circuit, causes the thermostat heater to generate amounts of heat. Resistors are connected timer or selector switches. Refer to the applicable wiring diagram. Resistors are checked with an ohm meter and resistor values are marked on the schematic wiring diagram. A bad resistor will give improper drying temperatures. CONTROL THERMOSTAT The thermostat and bias heater are located on the blower housing. CHECKING THE CONTROL THERMOSTAT Remove harness wires from the thermostat. Determine the interior wiring by referring to the wiring diagram. Use an ohm meter to check the thermostats. 1. Remove the exhaust venting from the rear of dryer. Place a thermometer (pocket type reading at least 300° F.) in rear of exhaust pipe. If dryer is installed between cabinets, making rear access difficult, the temperature can be checked by placing a thermocouple in the lint trap opening. Thermocouple shall be located one inch to the right of lint screen opening center line and extend three inches below the top of opening. 2. Set timer for 30 minutes, or long enough to permit cycling of thermostat. 3. Allow thermostat to cycle 3 or 4 times. 4. Check temperature immediately after the third or fourth cycle of thermostat. The temperatures (depending on the temperature setting) should conform to those listed in the Temperature Chart. - AT EXHAUST DUCT - NO LOAD OR LINT TRAP TRIP TEMP SETTING HIGH 145-190° F. MEDIUM 2-10° F. lower than high heat LOW 2-10° F. lower than medium heat NOTE: LONG EXTENDED VENTS AFFECT DRUM TEMPERATURES. HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT The hi-limit thermostat, single-pole, single throw switch wired in series with the control thermostat and heat source, is mounted to the top of the heater housing. Should the control thermostat fail or an air blockage occur, raising the heater housing temperature to 260° F. on electric or 240° F. on gas., the hi-limit thermostat opens the circuit to the heat source and allows the heater cool down to 190° F. To check the thermostat, remove drum. To check for stuck contacts in the thermostat, start the and run on HIGH heat with the exhaust duct completely blocked. The hi-limit thermostat MUST open within three minutes. To check for an open thermostat, remove the harness wires from the thermostat terminals. Test for continuity. You should have continuity through a good thermostat at room temperature. SAFETY THERMOSTAT The safety thermostat is wired in series with the motor for ELECTRIC MODELS and the burner for GAS MODELS. The purpose of the safety thermostat is to shut down the dryer if the control thermostat and hi-limit thermostat fail to open. Once the safety thermostat has opened, it must be replaced. The condition that caused it to open must be corrected. HEATER ASSEMBLY (ELECTRIC ONLY) The heater assembly (208/240 volts) is located behind the drum. Perforat...
