O. Lint Drawer
The lint drawer is a pullout type and is located at the
bottom of the dryer in the lint compartment. Simply
grab the lint drawer handle, slide out the drawer, brush
off the lint, and slide the drawer back in. The lint screen
must be kept clean in order for the dryer to operate
properly and efficiently.
N. Automatic Reset Thermostat
This is located inside the dryer in the lint compartment
above the lint drawer. This thermostat senses the heated
air after it has passed through the basket. If the air
temperature gets too hot, the thermostat will shut off the
burner. The dryer will not heat up until the air
temperature cools down. At this time, the thermostat
will reset. Basket and blower will run, but dryer will not
heat.
P. Lint Drawer Switch
The lint drawer switch is located in the lint compartment and
attached to the side of the lint drawer track. The lint drawer
switch insures that the dryer will operate only when the lint drawer
is completely closed. This is a safety device and should never
be disabled.
Q. Steam Damper System
The newest type system is called the steam damper. It is shown
to the right and it uses a piston with compressed air to open and
close the steam damper which in turn allows the air to flow
either through the coil for heat, or under the coil for cool down.
Air supply is 80 PSI (+/- 10 PSI).
