f. Upon completion of the drying and cooling cycles, the tone (buzzer) will sound and the dryer will go into
the Wrinkle Guard Mode for 99 minutes, or until the main door has been opened.
IMPORTANT: For more detailed information regarding the microprocessor controller (computer) on
your dryer, refer to the microprocessor user’s manual included with the dryer.

3. Heat Circuit Operational Test
a. When a gas dryer is first started (during initial start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition
attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a few minutes for the air
to be purged from the lines.
NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are open.
NOTE: Gas dryers are equipped with a Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) system, which has internal
diagnostics. If ignition is not established after three (3) attempts, the heat circuit in the DSI
module will LOCKOUT until it is manually reset. To reset the DSI system, open and close the
main door and restart the dryer.
b. Once ignition is established, a gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of each
dryer to ensure that the water column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.
NOTE: Water column pressure requirements (measured at the pressure tap of the gas valve body):
Natural Gas ---------------------- 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) water column.
Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas ----- 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) water column.
