PORTABLE

DRYER

I.

GENERAL

This

is

a

portable

electric

dryer

designed to oPerate

efficiently

on

I20

volts,

60

hertz.

It

is equipped

with a

Ehree-wire

cord

for use

in a

grounded

receptacle.

THE UNTT

MUST BE

GROUNDED!

Although

noE

necessary

for operation,

it

would

be advantageous,

as with

any

dryer,

to

vent

this unit

to

the

outside

whenever

and

wherever

possible for maximum

efficiency.

(See

specification

section).

The

reset

button

must

be

pushed

to re-start

the

dryer

each

time the

door

is opened

and closed.

The rear

panel

must

be rercved

for urost

servicing

except

to re-position

a

displaced

drive

belt,

or

idler

pulley

and

spring.

The

timer

controls

drying time.

Ttte

brown

area

of

the

dial

is

heat,

except

the

last

7 minutes of

the cycle,

which

is a cool-down

period.

The orange

area of

the

dial is air

(no

heat) only.

the unit

will not run

with

the

door oPen.

l{hen the

door

is

closed,

it

pushes

in the

switch

shaft

(Pig.

I),

however,

the

door

switch

is

not

yet

activated.

When the reset

button

is

depressed,

it turns

the

switch shaft

to

activate

the door

switch.

Drying tsime

depends on

size

and

type of load,

suffi-

cient

voltage, and

an

adequate

air supply,

both

intake and exhaust.

For

efficient

operation,

the dryer

should be

operated on a circuit

of

its own,

and extension

cords or

other

similar

devices

should

not be used.

TXHAUST

FIG.

When

the

motor is energized,

the drum

rotaCes

and the blower

starts.

Air is

drawn in

through

the

rear

panel

rouvers,

top

and bottom,

across

the

heating

elerent

and

into

the drum.

All

air must then

pass

through

the

lint filter,

down

and

out

the

exhaust

duct.

NCIE:

A clogged

lint filter

or exhaust

system will

decrease

The filter

should

Ground

StraP

The

Ground

is located

in

If the

spring tension

is

gone

or

the

is worn,

replace

the

ground

Lr:bricate

Attachment

Cord

If the cord

must

be

replaced, the multiple

connector

will have to

be removed

and

the

ground

wire disconnected

frorn

inside of

the

rear

panel.

The cord

wires

lock

into the multiple

connector

and

if

forced

out,

destroy

the

lock,

creating

an

electrical

hazard.

Therefore,

when

replacing

wires

in the

multiple

connector,

cut

the connector

at

every wire

to free

the terminals.

Use a

nehr

connector.

Use

a

good

Push

it will

Wtren replacing

seal,

clean

off all

old

adhesive

and then attach

new seal

with

3M-1300.

Therrnostat This section

covers

both the control

thermostat

located

in

the

fan housing

and

hi-limit thermostat

located

on

top of

the

heat

shroud. The

hi-Iimit

thermostat

is rated

at

2000. The

cycling

thermostat

is rated at 1250. The

rating

is

stanped

on

the

thermostat

for

indentification.

ftre

hi-Iimit

thermostat

will

open

with the

failure of

the cycling

thermostat or any

interruption of air

flow

such

as

a lint

clog'

broken

fan or

worn

felt seals.

lltre cycling

thermostat

controls

the

drying

temperature

in the drun.

Testing The thermostats

cannot

be electrically

tested

with the unit

running. If

the heat cycle

will

not

operate'

a

test can

be

taken with an ohm

meter across

the

terminals.

A complete

circuit

tends to indicate

a

good thermostat

electrically.

Hovtever, after

attaching

ohm

meter

leads

to the

thermostat

terminals, the terminaLs

should

be moved to

check

for inter-

mittent

contact. If the

condition

of

the thermostat

is

questionable,

after

testing,

it

should be

replaced.

In addition to a

continuity

test,

the

operating

temperature

may have

to be checked.

A temperature test

can be

made

i.lith a stem thermometer

in

the

lower

plug

hole or an

oven

thermometer

in the rear exhaust

duct. The temperature

will

vary

from l5Oo

to

ltOo

on

cycles.

This

would

verify the

cycling

thermostat.

After

the cycling therrostat is

verified, the

hi-linit

thermostat

can

be

checked

in the

same method

by

jumping

the cycling therrnstat.

Another test

of the hi-Iimit therrnostat

is to

run the

unit

with

the door

open and the door

switch

depressed. If the

hi-Iimit thermostat

cuts out

the

heat

circuit,

it is

serving

its

purpose.

Thermostats are subject to temperature

variance, therefore,

a temperature test

rnay be

required

to

verify normal operation.
