S.A.F.E. System Water Valve Check
The operation of the water solenoid valve can be tested to ensure that the water supply system and valve are
functional. Before attempting a system check, be sure that
ALL water supply shutoff valves to the dryer are in
the OPEN position; the dryer must be in the “READY” mode with no cycle loaded or in progress.
1. Press and hold the red “STOP/CLEAR” key (while in “READY” mode and no cycle is in progress).
2. Press and hold the “A” key.
3. Water valve will open and water will be dispensed into basket (tumbler) area as long as both keys are held.
The Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will prompt the user to perform a S.A.F.E. system
valve check at every 4000 hours to ensure proper functionality. At the 4000 hour mark, the control will wait for
end of the cycle and then will prompt the user to “PLEASE EMPTY TUMBLER, THEN PRESS THE
‘STOP/CLEAR’ AND ‘A’ KEYS TO TEST THE WATER VALVE”. When the “STOP/CLEAR” and “A”
keys are pressed, the control will activate the S.A.F.E. system water valve for 2-seconds, at which point the
control will prompt the user with the following message: “IF WATER DID NOT TURN ON, CALL FOR
SERVICE. THANK YOU”.
NOTE: The control will not let the user continue until the valve test has been completed.
S.A.F.E. System Diagnostics
In the event that the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) detects a fault in the S.A.F.E.
system, the microprocessor controller (computer) will display the message “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DISABLED …
READY”. To find out why the S.A.F.E. system is disabling, press and hold the red “STOP/CLEAR” and green
“START” keys. This will cause the microprocessor controller (computer) to display a diagnostic message, as
detailed in the “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM Diagnostics Messages” section.
