c.Electric Models
1)Check to insure that electric oven/contactor assembly is activating.
3.Make a complete operational check of ALL safety related circuits:
a.Door Switch(es)
b.
c.Sail Switch (for Gas Models and Electric Models ONLY)
NOTE: To check for proper sail switch operation (for Gas Models and Electric Models ONLY), open the main door and while holding main door switch plunger in, start the dryer. Dryer should start but heat circuit should not be activated (on). If the heat system is activated, the sail switch is improperly adjusted and must be adjusted by bending the actuator arm of the sail switch toward the burner box. If the actuator arm is bent to far toward the burner box of the dryer, the dryer may not have heat when needed. After any adjustment to the sail switch, the above procedure must be repeated to verify proper operation of the sail switch.
4.The dryer should be operated through one (1) complete cycle to assure that no further adjustments are necessary and that ALL components are functioning properly.
IMPORTANT: The dryer basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating. ADC suggests tumbling old clothes or material in the basket (tumbler), using a mild detergent to remove the protective coating.
5.Make a complete operational check of ALL operating controls.
a. For microprocessor models check controller (computer) programs/selections...
1)Each microprocessor controller (computer) has been preprogrammed by the factory with the most commonly used parameter (program) selections. If computer program changes are required, refer to the computer programming manual which was shipped with the dryer.
6.Check the electric service phase sequence
IMPORTANT: If the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the wrong direction, this will not only drastically reduce drying efficiency, but it can also cause premature component failure.
