Q. Dryer stops during a cycle, microprocessor controller (computer) buzzer (tone) sounds for
5-seconds, and then the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display returns to FILL"...
1. Loose connection somewhere in the main power circuit to the microprocessor controller (computer).
2. Failed arc suppressor (A.S.) board.
R. Microprocessor controller (computer) L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display reads "SEFL"...
1. Rotational sensor circuit (option) failure...fault somewhere in tumbler (basket) rotation or circuit ...
a. Tumbler(basket) is not rotating ...
1) Broken or loose V-belts.
2) Failure in drive motor circuit...refer to Item B, Item C, and/or Item D on page 43 and page 44 in
this section.
b. Failed rotational sensor.
c. Broken wire or connection between sensor and microprocessor controller (computer).
2. Microprocessor controller (computer) program (PL02) is set incorrectly in the active mode ("SEn") where
the dryer is not equipped with the optional rotational sensor...program should be set as "nSEn."
S. Microprocessor controller (computer) L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display reads "Hot"...
1. Possible overheating condition...microprocessor controller (computer) has sensed a temperature which has
exceeded 220º F (105º C).
"Hot" display will not clear until temperature sensed has dropped to 220º F (105º C) or lower and the micro-
processor controller (computer) is manually reset by pressing the "CLEAR/STOP" key.
T. Heating unit is not operating (no heat)...no voltage at heating unit (i.e., Gas Model, DSI module,
or Steam Model damper system pneumatic solenoid) when dryer is first started and both the heat
indicator dot and the "HEAT" output L.E.D. are on...

a. Sail switch out of adjustment and/or has failed.
b. Sail switch damper
is not closing or is fluttering ...
