TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

- As the micom dry machine is congured of the complicate structure, there might be the

service call.

Below information is prepared for exact trouble diagnosis and suitable repair guide.

Caution for the Repair and Replacement

1) As some electronic components are damaged by the charged static electricity from the resin

part of dryer or the human body, prepare the human body earth or remove the potential

dier ence of the human body and dryer by contacting the power supply plug when the work

contacting to PCB is executed.

2) As the P.C.B assembly is designed for no trouble, do not replace the P.C.B assembly by the

wrong diagnosis and follow the procedure of the trouble diagnosis when the micom is not

operated normally.

ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to dryer before

servicing, unless testing requires power.

Please follow below instruction for the trouble diagnosis and parts replacement.

No Problem What To Do

1Will Not Start or Run

• All wires are hooked up to their corresponding terminals.

• Dryer is plugged in.

• Blown fuse or circuit breaker.

• Door switch functional...door closed. Check for error code 3 (See

Table for codedenition).

• Start/Pause rotary selector dial functional.

• Control Board operational.

• Belt o or broken and Belt Cut-o Switch operates.

• Drive motor functional.

• Check motor winding resistance: 2.88ohms between pin #3 and 4,

3.5ohms between pin #4 and 5.

2Motor runs/ tumbler

will not turn

• Belt o or broken/damaged.

• Idler tension spring too weak or stretched.

• Idler pulley jammed or stuck.

3Runs a few minutes

and then stops

• Lint buildup around drive motor.

• Low voltage present.

• Blower impeller blocked in blower housing.

• Drive motor - start switch contacts stuck closed.

4Blows fuses or trips

circuit breaker

• Is the belt connected well?

• Is the winding of the motor continuous?

(Rotor winding, stator winding, generator)

• Is the motor protector normal?

• If above points are not found, the PCB assembly is out of order.

Replace it.

Blows fuses or trips

circuit breaker (Gas

Model)

• During ignition the dryer will draw X amps. With the burner ON, the

dryer will draw X amps. If the dryer is drawing amperages above this,

then the house wiring, fuse box or circuit breaker is suspected to be

at fault.

• Igniter harness loose and shorted to base.

• Incorrect wiring or wire shorted to ground.

• Drive motor winding shorting to ground.

6Will not heat (motor

runs)

Open heating element.

• Hi-Limit trips easily or is open.

• Regulating thermostat trips easily or is open.

• Membrane switch open.

• Check Thermistor.

Will Not Dry Gas

Model Poor Gas

Ignition

When the dryer is operated on a heat setting, the igniter should be

energized and burner shall re within 45 seconds at 120 VAC. The failure

of a component in this system will usually be indicated by one of three

symptoms:

TROUBLE SHOOTING

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to dryer before

servicing, unless testing requires power.

No Problem What To Do

8The igniter does not

glow

If the igniter does not heat up, remove power and using an ohmmeter,

check the following:

• Open ame sensor

• Open igniter

• Shorted booster coil

• Open wiring

• Bad motor switch ( Neutral supply)

• No power from control ( L1 supply)

9Igniter glows - No

gas ignition

If the igniter heats up but the main burner ame is not ignited, remove

power and using an ohmmeter, check the following:

• Open secondary coil

• Open holding coil

• Open wire harness

• Stuck ame sensor (Stuck closed)

The gas is ignited

but the ame goes

out

If a normal ignition takes place and after a short while the ame goes out,

check for the following:

• Radiant sensor contacts opening prematurely.

• Weak gas valve coil may open when stressed by higher Temps.

• Weak Hi-Limit

• Poor venting

• Bad drum seals

Improper drying

clothes wrinkled

Rough texture long

dry time

• Lint lter is not clean.

• Restriction in exhaust.

• Outside exhaust hood damper door stuck closed.

• Exhaust too long, too many elbows, ex ductwork installed.

• Poor intake air available for the dryer.

• Incorrect tumbler speed. Tumbler belt slipping.

• Blower impeller bound; check for foreign material in blower area.

• Customer overloading dryer.

• Check clothing labels for fabric content and cycle selected.

• Clothes too wet due to insucient spin out by washer.

12 Noisy and/Or

Vibration

• Thumping Check for loose tumbler bae, rear tumbler roller(s) worn

or misaligned, out-of-round tumbler or high weld seam on tumbler.

• Ticking Check for loose wire harness or object caught in blower

wheel area.

• Scraping Check for front or rear bulkhead felt seal out of position or

worn tumbler front bearings.

• Roaring Check for blower wheel rubbing on blower housing or bad

motor bearings.

• Popping or squealing sound. Check for a sticky or frayed belt.
