Sensor Bar Touch TEST

How to Enter:

With the power on, press Signal & Temp keys for 3 seconds. This

action will put the dryer into sensor bar touch data mode. Dryer

will display Senor bar data. This mode is default mode of entering

service mode

Cycle Count Test Mode How to Enter:

While in service mode, press the signal button for 3 seconds or

until beep

Software Version Test Mode

How to Enter:

To enter Special Test Mode press Temp Button until the

control beep. (same for all Frontier models.) ex) In case of

“U105”, U0 means major version “v1“ 05 means minor

version “05

Temperature Test Diagnostic Mode

How to Enter:

Press Adjust Time Up + Down Keys for 3 sec during

Power On State.

Press Adjust Time Up and it will display the temperature

in Celsius.

Compare vent temp to drum temp to see air flow.

This can be with just power on or dryer running.

Gas Valve Testing

Unplug connectors and test valve terminals

(its numbering is from the front terminal.)

Check across terminals #1 and #3 (Booster Coil). 550 Ω

Check across terminals #1 and #2 (Holding Coil). 1350 Ω

Check across terminals #2 and #3 (Both coils in series). 1900 Ω

Check across terminals #4 and #5 (Secondary Coil). 1300 Ω

Dryer continues to run after cycle completed

Wrinkle Prevent option provides approximately 90 minutes (20 continuous and 70 intermittent) of tumbling in

unheated air at the end of the cycle to reduce wrinkling. Press the Wrinkle Prevent button to activate or deac-

tivate this feature. The indicator light above the pad will illuminate when Wrinkle Prevent is selected. Chasing

lights appear in the display when the Wrinkle Prevent option is selected. The load is dry, and can be removed

at any time during the Wrinkle Prevent cycle.

SUBJECT: Dryer belt slides off the pulley when

manually rotated counter-clockwise (ccw)

SYMPTOM: The dryer drum will not turn. On occa-

sions, the customer will rotate the drum counter

clockwise (CCW) to check for any remaining

clothes left in the dryer drum. By rotating the drum

CCW, the idler arm may shift causing the belt to

slide off the pulley.

SOLUTION: To prevent the dryer belt from sliding

off the pulley, the pulley has been redesigned.

The Outside Diameter has been changed from

22mm to 27mm.

Do not use dryer to dry clothes which have traces of any flammable substance, such as vegetable oil, cooking

oil, machine oil, flammable chemicals, thinner, etc., or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops

and cleaning cloths. Flammable substances may cause fabric to catch fire by itself.

Make sure the idler pulley and the

motor pulley are straight in line

with each other, bend to correct

How to Enter: To enter Service Mode , press Temp + Signal for 3 sec-

onds, until it sends out a beeping sound 3 times

RY6CN6

Testing Electric Heater circuit.

Disconnect Blue wire from RY6, turn power on, start dryer read voltage between RY6 Blue wire and CN6

Green wire.

Reading of 120VAC means a proper operating heater circuit. 0VAC means open in circuit.

To test thermostats use ohm meter on lowest scale, any resistance replace component

See page 4 for Main PCB layout for testing.

RY 6 RY 5

RY 5 CN7

Testing Main PCB power output to Heating

& Motor circuit.

With motor running in the heating mode,

read AC voltage across RY6 and RY5.

Any voltage reading means Main PCB is

defective.

See page 4 for Main PCB layout for testing.

Testing Motor circuit.

With power off read

resistance between

RY5 Brown and CN7

Blue.

Resistance reading of

good motor circuit is

about 1.9Ω. To test

thermostat and switch

use ohm meter on

lowest scale, any

resistance replace

component.

See page 4 for Main

PCB layout for testing.
