Introduction

How a Tumbler Works
1
2
3
TMB2347S
A tumbler uses heated air to dry loads of laundry.
When the motor is started, the exhaust fan pulls room temperature air in through the air intake at the rear of the tumbler and over the heat source (burner flame for gas, heating element for electric, and coil for steam).
The heated air moves into the cylinder, where it is circulated through the wet load by the tumbling action of the cylinder.
Theory of Operation of Instant Electronic Ignition
IMPORTANT: The Non-CE Marked Instant Electronic Ignition system will attempt to light the gas by sparking for approximately 15 seconds. If gas ignition does not take place within approximately 15 seconds, the Instant Electronic Ignition control will go into safety lockout and the valve will no longer open until Instant Electronic Ignition control is reset. To reset Instant Electronic Ignition control, remove power from control by opening and closing the tumbler door. If condition persists, check that the gas shut-off valve is in “on” position and that the gas service is properly connected.
If condition persists:
1. Check resistance of high tension lead (approximately 1000 ohms/inch), and replace if not within resistance range.
2. Check voltage present at valve.
3. Check that machine is properly grounded.
4. Check the gap between igniter and burner tube (gap should be 1/4-3/8 inch).
5. Check that burner ports are not blocked or plugged under the igniter.
The air then passes through the lint filter, exhaust fan, and is vented to the outdoors.

Section 3
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the tumbler before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumbler before servicing.
• Close steam valve to steam tumbler before servicing.
• Never start the tumbler with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be reconnected to ensure that the tumbler is properly grounded.
