c. Steam Models
1) Check to insure that steam damper is functioning properly.
a) The steam damper should not “slam” (open/closed) when it reaches the end of (piston) travel.
Additionally, the steam damper should not bind or stop during travel. If either of these conditions
occur, the flow control must be adjusted. (Refer to the Cool Down Mode in top illustration on
page 35 for air adjustment instructions.)
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 the dryer off and make the necessary adjustments
7. A reversing basket (tumbler) dryer should never be operated with less than a 85 lb (38 kg) 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 the opposite direction.
a. Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Dryer Models
1) Spin and stop times are not adjustable in the Automatic Mode and have been preprogrammed into
the microprocessor controller (computer) for a 120-second spin time and a 5-second dwell (stop)
time.
2) Spin and stop times are adjustable in the Manual (Timed) Mode.
b. Dual Timer Dryer Models
1) Spin and stop times are adjustable at the reversing timer.
BASKET COATING
The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. We suggest dampening old garments or cloth
material with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler) to
remove this 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. Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls.
a. Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Programs and Selections
1) Each microprocessor controller (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.
b. Dual Timer Dryers Check
1) Heating Timer
