6. 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 dryer off and make necessary
adjustments.
7. A reversing basket (tumbler) dryer should never be operated with less than a 60 lb. load (dry weight). The
size of the load will affect the coast-down and dwell (stop) times. The basket (tumbler) must come to a
complete stop before starting in opposite direction. For microprocessor (computer) controller models, with
the automatic (mode) cycle only, the Spin Time and Stop Time
are not adjustable. The spin and stop times
have been preprogrammed into the microprocessor controller (computer) for 120-seconds spin time and a
5-second dwell (stop) time. (For timer controlled models, refer to the Reversing Timer Spin/Dwell
Adjustments in Section VIII of this manual.)
IMPORTANT: The dryer basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating ADC suggests
tumbling old clothes or material in the basket (tumbler), using a mild detergent
to remove the protective coating.
8. Each dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further adjustments are
necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.
9. Programs / selections (for microprocessor [computer] models ONLY):
a. Each 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.
