“IMPORTANT NOTE TO PURCHASER”
Information must be obtained from your local gas
supplier on the instructions to be followed if the user
smells gas. These instructions must be posted in a
prominent location near the dryer.
Appliance is programmed at the factory as follows:
Dryer
6 min. dry time/quarter (coin 1)
$.25 dry price
Warm Start (After Power Failure)
A few seconds after power is restored, if a cycle was in
progress at the time of the power failure, the display will
prompt “Select Cycle to Restart”. This is to indicate the need
for a fabric setting keypad to be pressed to restart dryer.
Pricing
After the door is opened following the completion of a cycle,
the display indicates the cycle price (unless set for free
operation). As coins or debit inputs arrive, the display will
change to lead the user through the initiation of a cycle.
There are 3 types of pricing:
Fixed Cycle
A dryer set up for “Fixed Cycle” operation can only accept
additional time accumulated by increments equal to the cycle
price.
Top Off
A dryer set to offer “Top Off” capability will allow time to be
added to an existing dry cycle in increments equal to the
number of minutes of dry time per quarter (coin 1), up to 99
minutes, regardless of the cost required to start the machine.
When the cycle price is not the same as the denomination of
coin 1, credit in escrow will be applied at a maximum of the
cycle price per key press. When the cycle price is equal to
coin 1, all credit in escrow will be applied with a single key
press (Accumulator Mode).
Note
A maximum of 99 minutes may be purchased; no
!
additional credit is given when 99 minutes is in the
display.
Important
Read all instructions before operating.
!
The fabric setting key pads along with the digital display are
used to setup the dryer controls.
How to use the Keypads
to Program the Controls
The WHITES & COLORS keypad is used to increment
numbers and scan through menu locations.
The PERMANENT PRESS keypad will enter program
locations and save changes made.
The DELICATES keypad is used to decrement numbers and
scan through menu locations.
To back out of a program location hold the DELICATES button
and then press the PERM PRESS button.
Start Operating Setup
Caution
The service access panel must not be opened
!
unless power is first disconnected from the dryer.
Before proceeding it is worth noting that, despite all the
options available, an owner can simply choose to uncrate a
new commercial machine, hook it up, plug it in and have a
unit which operates.
Note
On stacked dryers programming selections apply
!
to both dryers.
Entering and Exiting Service Mode
Entering
Transition the service switch to enter the service mode.
Service mode can also be accessed via ADC data
acquisition (DA) communications. Please note that only
the “vending parameters, count settings, and clock
settings” will be available with this method.
Exiting
First make sure the perm press key has been depressed to
save any changes that have been made and then transition
the service switch.
Free Cycles
This is established by setting the cycle price to zero. When
this happens “SELECT CYCLE” will appear rather than a
cycle price. When the cycle price is set to zero, only one cycle
time is allowed to run. Multiple key presses will not add time
and a free cycle will automatically terminate when the door is
opened.

Faults___________________________________
(D17 Upper) (D6 Lower) Exhaust Probe
An exhaust probe fault occurs when the control detects that
the exhaust temperature transducer is reading a temperature
that is out of the probe’s normal operating temperature range
for more than 3 seconds. If the probe fault occurs in a drying
cycle the control will enter the fault cool down mode and will
run for the full 3 minutes of fault cool down; the control will not
be able to shut down based on temperature. Fault cool down
can be exited if the fault is manually cleared by entering the
diagnostic cycle for more than 3 seconds. There is an
automatic fault clearing feature for this fault. If the fault
condition no longer exists, the control will clear the fault
condition and return to READY mode.
(D18 Upper) (D2 Lower) Axial Probe
An axial thermistor probe fault occurs when the control detects
that the axial thermistor is reading a temperature that is out
of the probe’s normal operating temperature range for more
than 3 seconds, usually an open or shorted probe condition.
If the probe fault occurs in a drying cycle the control will enter
the fault cool down mode and will run for the full 3 minutes of
fault cool down, the control will not be able to shut down
based on temperature. Fault cool down can be exited if the
fault is manually cleared by entering the diagnostic cycle.
There is an automatic fault clearing feature for this fault. If the
fault condition no longer exists, the control will clear the fault
condition and return to READY mode.
(D21 Upper) (D7 Lower) Sail Switch Closed
A sail switch closed fault occurs when a cycle is starting up
from either READY mode, PAUSE mode or any other idle
state. Once a temperature/cycle is selected the control will
start the time and verify the sail switch is open, if it is not, the
control will display on the screen that the control is
“STARTING” and will not turn on the FAN, DRIVE or HEAT.
The control will allow the sail switch 30 seconds to open
before the control faults out with a SAIL SWITCH CLOSED
FAULT. Once a SAIL SWITCH CLOSED FAULT is detected
the control will log the fault and will not allow the cycle to
continue. The control will display “SAIL SWITCH CLOSED
FAULT, SELECT TEMP TO RESTART, when the fault is
detected.
(D20 Upper) (D4 Lower) Sail Switch Open
A sail switch open fault occurs when a cycle is starting from
either READY mode, PAUSE mode or any other idle state. If
the sail switch does not close within the allotted 10 seconds
the control will log the fault and will not allow the cycle to
continue. The control will display “SAIL SWITCH OPEN FAULT,
CHECK MAIN DOOR AND LINT ACCESS AND SELECT TEMP
TO RESTART.” A sail switch open fault can also occur once a
cycle is in process. If the control detects that the sail switch
has opened, the heat will immediately turn off and if the sail
switch fails to close within the allotted 30 seconds, the control
will fault and display “SAIL SWITCH OPEN FAULT, CHECK
MAIN DOOR AND LINT ACCESS AND SELECT TEMP TO
RESTART.”
113420-1www.amdry.com9
(D22 Upper) (D8 Lower) Latched Heat Relay
A latched heat relay fault occurs when the control detects that
the heat relay contacts are closed when the heat output
should be off. In the event the control detects that the relay is
closed and the heat signal should be off, the control will
immediately shut down and will open the interposing relay.
(D23 Upper) (D15 Lower)
Burner Return Voltage
A burner return voltage fault occurs when the control detects
that the burner return signal is active but the heat relay
contacts are open and the heat output should be off. This
fault only pertains to a gas dryer model. In the event the
control detects that the signal is active and the heat signal
should be off, the control will immediately shut down and will
open the interposing relay.
(D14 Upper) (D12 Lower)
Rotation Sensor Fault
A rotation sensor fault occurs when the control is in a cycle
and does not detect any rotation sensor pulses in more than
10 seconds. At which point the control will enter fault cool
down mode where the fan will remain active for 3 minutes or
the exhaust probe temp is below 100° F.
(D19 Upper) (D3 Lower)
Exhaust High Temp Fault
An exhaust high temperature fault occurs when the exhaust
probe is detecting a tumbler temperature that is 20° F above
the max dryer temperature set point for more than 10
seconds. At which point the control will enter fault cool down
mode until the exhaust temperature probe reads less than
100 ° F or the dryer has been in fault cool down for more than
3 minutes.
Events__________________________________
(E1 Upper) (E4 Lower)
Radiant Sensor Fault Count
A radiant sensor fault count will occur when a gas model
dryer attempts to turn on the burner system and never
receives a 120V return signal on the gas return signal within
a predefined time. This is considered an event and a counter
will keep track of how many times this fault condition is
occurring.
(E2 Upper) (E5 Lower)
Burner Ignition Fault Count
A burner ignition fault count will occur when a gas model
dryer attempts to turn on the burner system and receives a
120V on the burner return signal but it does not transition to
a 0V return signal within a predefined time.
(E3 Upper) (E6 Lower) Exhaust High Limit
This location is a count of the times that the exhaust high
limit has been sensed in the open position.
(E7 Coin 1) (E8 Coin 2) Bad Coin Count
This location is a count of all the bad coin occurrences that
were detected from the coin input.
(D5 Coin 1) (D13 Coin 2) Blocked Coin Drop
This diagnostic code occurs if the control senses a blockage
in the coin input. If the coin input is blocked for more than 8
seconds the control will go to out of order and will not allow
the control to start a cycle. This fault has both automatic and
manual fault clearing. If the condition is corrected the control
will recover from out of order immediately after the blockage
is no longer seen.
D16 – Gen 2 Card Reader Did Not
Communicate In Previous 5 Minutes
This fault occurs when the control has lost communication
with the Debit Card reader. When this fault occurs the control
will log the fault and will display D16 on the display instead of
the cycle price information.
