e. Basket (tumbler) rotation below 12 RPMS.
P. Microprocessor controller (computer) reads “Exhaust High Temp Fault”...
1. Possible overheating condition...microprocessor controller (computer) display board has sensed a temperature,
which has exceeded 225º F (107º C).
Exhaust High Temp Fault will display until the stop key has been passed. A cycle cannot be started until the
temperature is below 220º F (104º C).
Q. Dryer operates but is taking too long to dry...
1. Exhaust ductwork run is too long or is undersized...back pressure cannot exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb)
water column (W.C.).
2. Restriction in ductwork...check duct from the dryer ALL the way to the outdoors.
3. Low or inconsistent gas pressure (for GAS MODELS ONLY).
4. Insufficient make-up air.
