information contained in this manual was written
and is intended for use by qualified service
technicians who are familiar with the safety
procedures required in the repair of a tumbler, and
who are equipped with the proper tools and testing
equipment.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT
instructions appearing in this manual are not meant
to cover all possible conditions and situations that
may occur. It must be understood that common
sense, caution and carefulness are factors which
CANNOT be built into this tumbler. These factors
MUST BE supplied by the person(s) installing,
maintaining or operating the tumbler.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent
or the manufacturer on any problems or conditions you
do not understand.
Alliance Laundry Systems is not responsible for
personal injury or property damage resulting from
improper service. Review all service information
before beginning repairs.
Warranty service must be performed by an
authorized technician, using authorized factory
parts. If service is required after the warranty
expires, Alliance Laundry Systems also
recommends contacting an authorized technician
and using authorized factory parts.
Safety Warnings and Decals
SAFETY WARNINGS and decals have been provided
in key locations to remind you of important precautions
for the safe operation and maintenance of your tumbler.
Please take the time to review these warnings before
proceeding with service work.
All decals have been designed and applied to withstand
washing and cleaning. Decals should be checked
periodically to be sure they have not been damaged,
removed, or painted.
Safety Precautions for Servicing
Tumble rs
Prior to servicing tumbler:
•Disconnect electrical service and “lockout” to
prevent unintentional connection.
•Shut off supply gas valve.
•Allow machine to cool prior to servicing.
After servicing tumbler:
•Control/access panels must be reinstalled.
•Motor/drive/belt guards must be reinstalled.
•Contactor/junction/accessory box covers must
be reinstalled.
•Use a non-corrosive leak detection solution to
check all pipe connections for gas leaks. DO
NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK
FOR GAS LEAKS!
•The loading door switch, lint door switch and
airflow switch must be operating properly.
When calling or writing about your product, be sure to
mention model and serial numbers. Model and serial
numbers are found on serial plate on the rear of
machine and inside door.
Introduction
Customer Service
If literature or replacement parts are required, contact
the source from which the machine was purchased or
contact Alliance Laundry Systems at (920) 748-3950
for the name and address of the nearest authorized parts
distributor.
For technical assistance, call (920) 748-3121.
Wiring Diagram
The wiring diagram is located inside the junction or
contactor box.
The wiring diagram part number is in the lower portion
of the electrical data on the serial plate.
A tumble dryer 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 tumble dryer 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 tumble dryer 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.
IMPORTANT: The fire suppression system is
designed to diminish a laundry fire starting inside a
fire suppression system equipped tumble dryer.
The fire suppression system is not designed to stop
or eliminate high temperature and spontaneous
combustion situations. Follow all instructions in the
installation manual to ensure the fire suppression
system operates properly. Train all operators in the
proper preventative maintenance of the fire
suppression system.
IMPORTANT: For safety purposes, do not operate
tumble dryer if a fire has occurred.

3Water Flow to Machine6Loading Door
Two temperature sensors are located in the cylinder
area of the tumble dryer to provide temperature
readings. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. These
temperature sensors will trigger a mode change based
on a pre-set temperature trip-point.
5. No Heat Condition (Non-CE and Non-Australian Models)
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the tumble dryer before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumble dryer before servicing.
• Close steam valve to steam tumble dryer before servicing.
• Never start the tumble dryer with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the tumble dryer is properly grounded.

WARNING
Ignition Control Module Function
There are four components to the ignition system: the
module, the spark igniter, the high voltage cable and
ground wire. When 24 VAC is applied between the TH
and GND terminals on the module, the module will
send the high voltage signal to the igniter and 24 VAC
to the gas valve coils. Gas will hit the sparking igniter
and flame will be established. The igniter being
engulfed in flame will create a millivolt electric signal
that is sent back to the module by the high voltage
cable; this is what the module sees as flame
recognition. If the millivolt signal is not at the module
in ten seconds, the module will go into safety lockout.
The voltage will be cut from the igniter and gas valve
coils and will not be restored until voltage is cycled at
the module.
Troubleshooting
Intermittent Heat Test Procedure
On ignition control modules with date codes higher
than 08t2, perform the following test.
Start the tumble dryer and run for 10 minutes (verify
that the tumble dryer is heating properly). After the 10
minute cycle, re-start the tumble dryer and once again
verify the unit is heating. Repeat this procedure 3
times. If the tumble dryer passes this test, the ignition
control module is operating properly and SHOULD
NOT be changed. Refer to Troubleshooting Manual
for additional service procedures.
Clean lint
compartment after
every eight hour shift.
