Faults __________________________________Exhaust Probe
An exhaust probe fault occurs when the control detects that
the exhaust temperature transducer is reading a temperature
that is out of the probe’s normal operating temperature range
for more than 3-seconds. There is an automatic fault clearing
feature for this fault. If the fault condition no longer exists, the
control will clear the fault condition and return to READY Mode.
Axial Probe
An axial thermistor probe fault occurs when the control detects
that the axial thermistor is reading a temperature that is out
of the probe’s normal operating temperature range for more
than 30-seconds, usually an open or shorted probe condition.
There is an automatic fault clearing feature for this fault. If the
fault condition no longer exists, the control will clear the fault
condition and return to READY Mode.
Sail Switch Closed
A sail switch closed fault occurs when a cycle is starting up
from either READY Mode, PAUSE Mode or any other idle state.
Once a temperature/cycle is selected the control will start the
time and verify the sail switch is open, if it is not, the control
will display on the screen that the control is “STARTING” and
will not turn on the FAN, DRIVE or HEAT. The control will allow
the sail switch 10-seconds to open before the control faults
out with a SAIL SWITCH CLOSED FAULT. Once a SAIL
SWITCH CLOSED FAULT is detected the control will log the
fault and will not allow the cycle to continue. The control will
display “SAIL SWITCH CLOSED FAULT, SELECT CYCLE TO
RESTART, when the fault is detected.
Sail Switch Open
A sail switch open fault occurs when a cycle is starting from
either READY Mode, PAUSE Mode or any other idle state. If
the sail switch does not close within the allotted 10-seconds
the control will log the fault and will not allow the cycle to
continue. The control will display “SAIL SWITCH OPEN FAULT,
CHECK MAIN DOOR AND LINT ACCESS AND SELECT CYCLE
TO RESTART”. A sail switch open fault can also occur once a
cycle is in process. If the control detects that the sail switch
has opened, the heat will immediately turn off and if the sail
switch fails to close within the allotted 30-seconds, the control
will fault and display “SAIL SWITCH OPEN FAULT, CHECK
MAIN DOOR AND LINT ACCESS AND SELECT CYCLE TO
RESTART”.
Rotation Sensor Fault
A rotation sensor fault occurs when the control is in a cycle
and does not detect any rotation sensor pulses in more than
10-seconds.
Gen 2 Card Reader Communication Fault
This fault occurs when the control has not received a health
check function from the Gen 2 debit card reader in
30-seconds. If this fault occurs in Ready or Vending Modes,
the control will log the fault and display “OUT OF ORDER”.
Once the control enters READY Mode and the fault has not
been corrected or cleared, the control will display “OUT OF
ORDER”. The fault is self clearing; therefore, once
communication is reestablished, the control will clear the
OUT OF ORDER condition and allow full dryer functionality
again.
Exhaust High Temp Fault
An exhaust high temperature fault occurs when the exhaust
probe is detecting a tumbler temperature that is 20° F above
the maximum dryer temperature set point for more than
10-seconds.
Blocked Coin Drop
This fault occurs if the control senses a blockage in the coin
input. If the coin input is blocked for more than 8-seconds
the control will go to out of order and will not allow the control
to start a cycle. This fault has both automatic and manual
fault clearing. If the condition is corrected the control will
recover from out of order immediately after the blockage is
no longer seen.
Events _________________________________Radiant Sensor Fault Count
A radiant sensor fault count will occur when a gas model
dryer attempts to turn on the burner system and never
receives a 120V return signal within a predefined time.
Burner Igniter Fault Count
A burner ignition fault count will occur when a gas model
dryer attempts to turn on the burner system and receives a
120V on the burner return signal but it does not transition to
a 0V return signal within a predefined time.
Exhaust High Limit
This location is a count of the times that the exhaust high
limit has been sensed in the open position.
Bad Coin Count
This location is a count of all the bad coin occurrences that
were detected from the coin input.
Forward Rotation Sensor Fault
A forward rotation fault pertains only to reversing machines.
The way this fault works is if the dryer is reversing and is
running a cycle that has the reversing option enabled, if a
rotation sensor fault condition is detected, the drive output
would be shut off. Then the dryer will transition to a reversing
drive output. If the dryer continues to run without an issue,
the machine will continue to run with the forward drive output
disabled until the next cycle is started. If the Reversing Mode
also fails the control will enter a ROTATION SENSOR FAULT
disabling the machine. The next cycle should operate with
both drive outputs, that way, if the issue still exists the control
will fault out again disabling the fault drive output.
Reverse Rotation Sensor Fault
REVERSE ROTATION SENSOR FAULT is identical to
FORWARD ROTATION FAULT, however it pertains to the
reversing drive output instead of the forward drive output.
S.A.F.E. Disabled – Water Not Connected
This event pertains only to machines with a fire detection
system. If the control senses a lack of water pressure, this
event will appear.
