COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
CONSOLE PANEL
This panel contains the user controls, which consist of a timer knob, for selecting the timed and sensed
drying periods and a push switch for heat selection.
TIMER
The timer system is made up from two timers, one mounted on the console and one in the base of the
machine.
Timer 1 controls the motor and heater. This has a spindle to which a knob is attached to enable the user
to select the required programme. Timer 2 controls the motor reversing; this is mounted on the kickstrip.
The dryer must be set to the high heat position for the Eco drying system to operate failure to do so will
cause the timer to advance to cool run without drying the load.
Timer 1 - Programme Timer
Mounted on the console, the timer is used to control the motor and heating during the drying
programmes. The timer incorporates a timed cycle with 170 minutes of heated drying followed by a 7.5
minute cool run.
One 'Eco' programme is incorporated with an automatic programme to provide heated drying until a
thermostat operates (when the load is dry), the timer then advances to a 7.5 minute cool run.
The cam of this timer is held on the heated part of the cycle by cutting the circuit to its motor.
The dryer motor continues to be reversed by timer 2. When the load is dry, a thermostat in the front duct
of the dryer operates which powers the motor of timer 1 and this allows the timer to advance to
cool run. Timer 2 reverses the motor direction approximately every 2.5 minutes.
An optional crease removal programme is provided, which consists of 7.5 minutes of heat and motor
followed by a cool tumble period of 2.5 minutes.
Timer 2 - Reversing Timer
Mounted on the base panel, the timer is used to control the reversal of the motor during the drying
programmes. The timer reverses the motor direction every 2.5 minutes.
HEAT SWITCH
Normally open push-push switch. The switch locates into the facia moulding and it allows the user to
choose high or low heat settings. By consulting the wiring diagram, it can be seen that by operating this
switch, either all or half of the heater unit is selected.
For full heat switch is in the IN position and low heat in the OUT position.
High heat must be selected for the auto-drying programmes to operate, if low heat is selected the dryer
will advance to cool run without drying the load.
DOOR
A plastic moulded chassis with a glass bowl retained by plastic mouldings.
