Disassembly Procedures

Step-by-step disassembly instructions for service access.

Electrical System

Electrical components, wiring diagrams, and testing procedures.

ComponentSpecificationTest Procedure
Main Power240V L1-L2, 120V L1-N, L2-NVerify voltage at terminal block
Heating Element5300W, 20-30 ohmsCheck continuity and resistance
Motor1/3 HP, 8-12 ohms run windingTest windings for shorts/opens
Thermal FuseNormally closed, opens at 194°FCheck for continuity
ThermostatCycling and high limit typesCheck continuity at room temp

Control System

Electronic control board operation and diagnostic procedures.

Main Control Board: Processes user inputs, monitors sensors, controls all functions. User Interface: Touch controls with feedback. Sensors: Moisture sensor, temperature sensors, motor RPM sensor.

Diagnostic Mode: Enter by pressing Temperature + Time Dry + Power (in sequence). Test Points: Check voltage at designated test points on control board. Board Replacement: Requires complete unit power disconnect and reprogramming.

Heating System

Heating components and operational verification.

  1. Heating Element: Verify continuity (20-30 ohms resistance).
  2. Thermal Fuse: Check for continuity - replace if open.
  3. Cycling Thermostat: Should cycle open/closed during operation.
  4. High Limit Thermostat: Safety device - check continuity.
  5. Heating Element Relay: On main control board - verify operation.

Tip: Use clamp-on ammeter to verify heating element current draw (approximately 22A).
