D. THE BASKET AND SUPPORT
ASSEMBLY
The basket and support assembly is designed for 80
lbs. (36 km) of dry material. It is supported by a shaft
and two (2) bearings.
E. TEMPERATURE SENSOR
BRACKET ASSEMBLY
This bracket assembly is equipped with two (2)
important devices. One is the temperature probe and
the other is the 225º F (107º C) basket hi-limit. The
temperature probe senses the temperature in the basket
and sends a signal to the computer to read that
temperature. This sensor is also known as the “TEMP
SENSOR FAIL” sensor. The 225º F (107º C)
thermostat is a safety device to shut down the gas valve
in a case of the temperature exceeding 225º F (107º
C).
F. TUMBLER BEARING ASSEMBLY
The bearing box is the holder for the pillow block bearing
and it also has the adjustments for the basket on it.
The bearings are what support the tumbler support and
basket to the dryer. The rotational sensor is another
safety device to stop the motor if it senses the basket
has stopped during a cycle.
