SECTION E - HOW THE COMPONENTS WORK Clothes dryers remove moisture from clothes by pulling air, either warmed or room temperature, through the clothes while they are being tumbled by a turning drum. The moisture from the clothes is exhausted through the dryer vent system to the outside of the house.
Electronic control board the plenum allow the air to be drawn across the heating element. In any cycle, other than Air Fluff, the heating element heats the air as it passes through. Airflow Since the moisture in the clothes is removed by air moving through the drum, it is important to understand the complete air flow system. Airflow electric dryers: Room air enters the dryer through a louvered panel in the rear right-hand corner of the dryer.
front of the dryer. Airflow gas dryers: The airflow in gas dryers is similar to electric dryers except for the heat source and the rear of the drum. The air enters the cavity through the louvered opening in the right rear corner of the dryer. The air is pulled across the gas burner, through the burner chamber and is ducted to the rear of the drum. The air enters the fan housing and is pushed out the exhaust vent to the outside of the house.
Restrictions: Electrical Operation (Electric Dryers Models) Restrictions can occur any place in the airflow system, but the most common are: Note: Always refer to the wiring diagram or schematic with the product. 1. Installing the dryer in a small inclosed area; such as a closet without a louvered door that reduces the intake air. 2. Fan problems caused by either a slow running motor, a broken or deformed fan blade or a deformed fan housing. 3. A lint restriction in the lint screen area.
Drive Motor Circuit: the other end of the motor shaft to pull the air through the clothes and force it out the exhaust vent. When power is connected to the dryer, line 1 is applied through the thermal limiter (a non-resettable fuse mounted on the rear wall of the dryer) to the COM. terminal of the door switch. When the door is closed, the COM terminal is connected to terminal NO of the door switch. From terminal NO, power is applied to terminal J4-2 of the motor relay RL 1 on the control board.
The high limit thermostat is a safety device that prevents the dryer from overheating if the contacts of the RL 2 fail closed. The contacts of the high limit thermostat, normally closed and are set to open at a temperature above the preset temperature specifications of the electronic control board. From the output terminal of the high limit thermostat, line 1 is connected to one side of the element and to pin 3 of the eight pin plug.
Drive Motor Circuit: When power is connected to the dryer, line 1 is applied to the COM terminal of the door switch. When the door is closed, the COM terminal is connected to terminal NO of the door switch. From terminal NO, power is applied to terminal J4-2 of the control board to the motor relay RL 1 on the control board. When the control board closes relay RL 1, power is applied through terminal J41 to terminal M4 of the drive motor.
first solenoid remains open when the current through the booster coil is reduced. The reduction of current flow through the igniter reduces heat from the igniter but the sensor contacts are held open by the heat of the burner flame. N Drying Time: L1 The other side of the holding coil, booster coil and igniter are connected to neutral through the second centrifugal switch in the motor (closed when the motor is running).
