ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
A. CLEANING  
A program and schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various  
areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the duct work system. The frequency of cleaning can best be determined  
from experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency is dependent upon proper air circulation. The  
accumulation of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are met, an ADC dryer will provide  
many years of efficient, trouble free, and – most importantly – safe operation.  
WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLYCOMBUSTIBLE. THE  
ACCUMULATION OFLINT CAN CREATEAPOTENTIALFIRE HAZARD.  
WARNING: KEEPDRYERAREACLEAR and FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE  
MATERIALS, GASOLINE and OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS and  
LIQUIDS.  
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown for average usage which is considered six (6) to eight (8)  
operational (running) hours per day.  
Clean lint drawer and screen every third load.  
NOTE: Frequency can best be determined at each location.  
DAILY  
(beginning) of each work shift.  
Clean lint from the drawer and screen. Inspect lint screen and replace if torn.  
WEEKLY  
Clean lint accumulation from lint chamber, thermostat and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor bracket)  
area.  
WARNING: To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, discontinue electrical supply to dryer.  
90 DAYS  
Remove lint from tumbler (basket), drive motors and surrounding areas. Remove lint from gas valve burner area  
with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.  
NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning or touching ignitor and flame-probe assembly.  
Remove lint accumulation from inside control box and at rear area behind control box.

exhaust ducting.  
WARNING: THEACCUMULATION OFLINT IN THE EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN  
CREATEAPOTENTIALFIRE HAZARD.  
WARNING: DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION and VENTILATIONAIR.  
CHECK CUSTOMER FURNISHED BACK DRAFT DAMPER IN EXHAUST  
DUCT WORK. INSPECT and REMOVEANY LINTACCUMULATION WHICH  
CAN CAUSE DAMPER TO BIND or STICK.  
NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown  
of the heat circuits safety switches or thermostats.  
NOTE: When cleaning dryer cabinets, avoid using harsh abrasives. Aproduct intended for cleaning  
appliances is recommended.  
B. ADJUSTMENTS  
7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION and EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER  
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing set screws), nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shut-off valves, orifices,  
and grounding connections). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts  
should be replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of controls and valves.  
Complete operational check of ALL safety devices (door switch, lint drawer switch, sail switch, burner and hi-  
limit thermostats).  
C. LUBRICATION  
The drive shaft bearings and idler shaft bearings should be lubricated every three (3) months. Use a #3 grease  
or equivalent. Lubrication is necessary.  
The motor bearings and under normal/most conditions the tumbler bearing are permanently lubricated. It is  
physically possible to re-lubricate the tumbler bearing if you choose even though this practice may not be necessary.  
Use Industrial Chevron ball or roller bearing SRI grease NLGI2 or its equivalent which has a broad operating  
temperature range of 22º F (-6º C) to 350º F (177º C).

SECTION III  
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS  
Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the  
absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS:  
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1-LATEST EDITION or National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-  
LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-  
B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation  
and Gas Plumbing) or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION (for  
Electrical Connections).  
A. ENCLOSURE, AIR SUPPLY, and EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS  
NOTE: The following information is very brief and general. For detailed description, refer to the  
ML-96 Installation Manual supplied with dryer. (ADC Part No. 113053.)  
Bulkheads and partitions around the dryer should be made of noncombustible materials. Allowances should be  
made for the opening and closing of the control door and lint door. (Refer to appropriate installation manual for  
recommended distances and minimum allowances required.)  
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the tumbler (basket), and  
exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the  
make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail  
switch “fluttering” problems on gas dryers may result, and you also could have premature motor failure from  
overheating. The air supply must be given careful consideration to insure proper performance of each dryer.  
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning fumes. Make-up  
air that is contaminated by dry cleaning fumes will result in irreparable damage to  
motors and other dryer components.  
Exhaust duct work should be designed and installed by a competent technician. Improperly sized duct work will  
create excessive back pressure which will result in slow drying, increased use of energy, and shutdown of the  
burner by the airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limit or lint chamber hi-heat protector thermostat. (Refer to appropriate  
Installation Manual for more detail.)  
CAUTION: IMPROPERLYSIZED or INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN  
CREATEAPOTENTIALFIRE HAZARD.  
B. ELECTRICAL and GAS REQUIREMENTS  
It is your responsibility to have ALL electrical connections made by a properly licensed and competent  
electrician to assure the electrical installation is adequate and conforms with local and state regulations or codes.  
In the absence of such codes, ALL electrical connections, material, and workmanship must conform to the  
applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada,  
the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSAC22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION (for Electrical Connections).  
7
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with these codes or ordinances and the requirements stipulated in  
this manual can result in personal injury or component failure.  
The dryer installation must meet the American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-  
LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST  
EDITION (for Electrical Connections) as well as, local codes and ordinances, and must be done by a qualified  
technician.  
NOTE: Undersized gas piping will result in ignition problems and slow drying and can create a safety  
hazard.  
The dryer must be connected to the type of gas (natural or L.P. [liquid propane]) indicated on the dryer data  
label. If this information DOES NOT agree with the type of gas available, contact the distributor who sold the  
dryer or contact the factory.  
The gas input ratings shown on the dryer data label are for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 meters), unless  
elevation requirements of over 2,000 feet (610 meters) were specified at the time the dryer order was placed with  
the factory. The adjustment for dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000 feet (610 meters) are made by  
changing the burner orifices. If this adjustment is necessary, contact the distributor who sold the dryer or contact  
the factory.  
NOTE: Any burner changes must be made by a qualified technician.  
C. OPERATIONAL SERVICE CHECK PROCEDURE  
1. Turn on electric power to the dryer.  
2. To start dryer:  
a. Display will read “READY.”  
b. Press “E” on the keyboard (touchpad) of microprocessor controller (computer).  
c. The dryer will start and display will show “dRYING MANUAL CYCLE, 30 MIN REMAIN,” then  
display the drum temp.  
NOTE: Pressing touchpad selections “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” and “F” will also start the dryer. Six (6)  
preprogrammed drying cycles (Athrough F) have been stored in the computer’s memory.  
(Refer to computer operator’s manual for details.)  
3. Make a complete operational check of ALL the operating controls to assure that the timing is correct,  
temperature selection switches are functioning, etc.  
4. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety-halted circuits: door switches, hi-limit thermostat, sail

C. HSI (HOT SURFACE IGNITION) MODULE (Gas Models Only)  
The HSI (Hot Surface Ignition) system consists of a  
microprocessor based control module, along with a  
hot surface ignitor probe and a flame probe assembly.  
The hot surface ignitor is a silicon carbide ignitor that  
upon application of 24 VAC will glow bright orange  
for the inter-purge time period. Upon ignition, the  
resistance in the flame sensor electrode changes and  
the information is sent to the HSI (Hot Surface  
Ignition) module via the sensor probe lead connection  
to the module. Once the resistance is changed and  
sensed, the HSI (Hot Surface Ignition) module will  
sustain the gas flow (provide 24 VAC power to the  
gas valve).  
D. GAS BURNER ASSEMBLY  
Gas heated dryers are equipped with a  
gas burner assembly consisting of three  
(3) burner tubes, gas valve, hot surface  
ignitor, flame sensor, sail switch, and hi-  
limit thermostat. The inlet piping enters  
through the rear of the dryer on the left  
hand side (viewing from the front) and  
runs to the front of the dryer where the  
gas valve is located.  
E. DRIVE MOTOR  
The T.E.F.C. (Totally Enclosed, Fan-Cooled) drive motor is located in  
the front left corner (viewing from front) behind the front panel of the  
dryer. It sits on an adjustable base so the motor can be easily adjusted  
to the left or right, up or down, forward or backward. The drive  
motor is a 3 HP motor and operates on 208 to 460 volts, 50/60 Hz,  
3-phase (3ø).

F. DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY  
(Viewing from the front of the dryer.)  
Behind front panel on the left side of the  
dryer, you can view the drive shaft assembly  
which consists of a 9-inch (22.86 cm) drive  
pulley, two (2) 6-inch (15.24 cm) wheels,  
one (1) taper lock bearings, and one (1) 1-  
inch (2.54 cm) pillow block bearings.  
G. IDLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY  
(Viewing from the front of the dryer.)  
Behind the front panel on the right side of  
the dryer you will view the idler shaft  
assembly which consists of one (1) 6-inch  
(15.24 cm) wheels, one (1) taperlock  
bearings, and two (2) 1-inch (2.54 cm)  
pillow block bearings.  
H. TUMBLER (BASKET)  
The tumbler (basket) consists of a tumbler  
(basket) which has four (4) ribs and four  
(4) removable perforated panels which are  
mounted to the rib sections of the tumbler  
(basket) with 1/4-20 x 1/4” socket button  
head screws.

I. MAIN DOOR SWITCH  
The main door switch is mounted to the front panel behind the main door. When  
the main door opens, the switch will also open, preventing the dryer from operating.  
The main door switch is a safety device and should never be disabled.  
J. SAIL SWITCH (Gas Models Only)  
The sail switch is located on the front of the  
burner box. A sail switch consists of a round  
damper plate on a lever arm which is in contact  
with an electric switch. When the fan or air  
blower comes on, it draws air through the gas  
burner. This creates a negative pressure inside  
the burner box, and this negative pressure pulls  
in the round damper and activates the sail  
switch. If there is improper airflow, the damper  
will not pull in, preventing the burner from  
starting. The display will also read “no  
airflow” with an audio indication. Improper  
airflow can be caused by improperly designed  
exhaust ducting where the duct run is too long  
or has too many sharp bends in it. It can also  
be caused by a lack of make-up air.  
K. BURNER HI-LIMIT (Gas Models Only)  
The high limit thermostat is a manual reset disc-type thermostat  
set at 330º F (166º C) and located near the burner. If the burner  
flame gets too hot, this thermostat will shut off the burner. This is  
generally caused by low airflow through the dryer. In a hi-limit  
situation the display will read “bURNER SAFETYFAIL” with an  
audio indication. The manual reset thermostat must be reset  
manually or the 24 VAC burner circuit will never be complete.  
This will cause the Phase 6 microprocessor (computer) to continue  
to go off on “bURNER SAFETY FAIL” with an audio indication.  
13  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
L. MANUAL RESET THERMOSTAT  
This is located inside the dryer in the lint  
compartment above the lint screen. This  
thermostat senses the heated air after it passes  
through the tumbler (basket). If the air  
temperature gets too hot, the thermostat will shut  
off the burner. The dryer will not run until the air  
temperature cools down. At this time, the manual  
reset thermostat must be reset manually or the  
24 VAC burner circuit will never be completed.  
Tumbler (basket) and blower will run but the dryer  
will not heat. If the temperature sensor opens the  
display will read “TEMPSENSOR FAILCHECK  
TEMP SENSOR FUSE” with an audio indication.  
If the thermostat opens the display will read  
“dRUM SAFETYFAIL” with an audio indication.  
M. LINT SCREEN  
The lint screen is located in the front of the dryer in the Lint  
Coop Assembly. To clean the lint off the screen simply  
brush the screen clean. The lint screen must be kept clean  
in order for the dryer to operate properly and efficiently.  
Inspect the screen for tears and replace as needed.  
N. LINT DRAWER SWITCH  
The lint door switch is located in the lint  
compartment and attached to the side of the  
lint coop. The lint door switch ensures that  
the dryer will operate only when the lint door  
is completely closed. This is a safety device  
and should never be disabled.

To Test and Adjust Gas (Water Column) Pressure  
There are two (2) types of devices commonly used to measure column pressure. They are spring and mechanical-  
type gauges and manometers. The spring and mechanical-type gauge is not recommended, because it is easily  
damaged and not always accurate. A manometer is simply a glass or transparent plastic tube with a scale in  
inches. When filled with water and pressure applied, the water in the tube rises showing the exact water column  
pressure.  
NOTE: Manometers are available from the factory by ordering ADC P/N 122804.  
1. To test gas water column (W.C.) Pressure:  
a. Connect water column test gauge connection to gas valve pressure  
tap (1/8” NPT). This pressure tap is located on the outlet (manifold)  
side of the valve.  
b. Start dryer. With burner on, the correct water column reading in  
inches would be:  
Natural Gas - 3.5 Inches Water Column (8.7 mb).  
L.P. Gas - 10.5 Inches Water Column (26.1 mb).  
2. To adjust water column pressure (natural gas only, L.P. gas must be  
regulated at source):  
a. Remove the slotted vent cap on the top of the valve.  
b. Turn the slotted adjustment screw located on the top of the valve  
next to the terminals. Turn clockwise (CW) to increase manifold  
pressure and counterclockwise (CCW) to decrease.  
NOTE: If correct W.C. pressure cannot be achieved, problems may be due to an undersized gas supply  
line, a faulty or underrated gas meter, etc.  
To Convert Natural Gas to L.P. Gas  
NOTE: ALL dryers are sold as natural gas, unless otherwise specified at the time the dryer order was  
placed. For L.P. gas the dryer must be converted as follows.  
1. Refer to “Replace Gas Valve” and follow Step #1 through Step #6.  
a. For models with 3/4” White-Rodgers valve.  
1) Remove top vent cap.  
2) Insert spring and pin.  
3) Replace vent cap.  
2. Unscrew main burner orifices and replace with L.P. orifices.  
NOTE: Use extreme care when removing orifices. They are made of brass and are easily damaged.

PHASE 6 OPL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS  
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST DISCONNECT and LOCKOUTTHE ELECTRIC SUPPLYand  
THE GAS SUPPLYBEFOREANYCOVERS or GUARDSARE REMOVED  
FROM THE MACHINE TOALLOWACCESS FOR CLEANING,  
ADJUSTING, INSTALLATION, orTESTINGOFANYEQUIPMENT per  
OSHA(Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration) STANDARDS.  
ALL major circuits, including door, microprocessor temperature sensor, heat and motor circuits are monitored.  
The Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will inform the user, via the L.E.D. (light emitting diode)  
display of certain failure codes, along with indicators both in L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display and at the output  
of each relay (and door switch circuit) to easily identify failures.  
A. DIAGNOSTIC (L.E.D. [Light Emitting Diode] DISPLAY) FAILURE CODES  
1. SAIL SWITCH FAIL- This routine will prevent start up on the machine unless the sail switch is in the  
correct position. If the sail switch is closed prior to start up the display will read “SAIL SWITCH FAIL”  
along with an audio indication.  
2. No AIRFLOW- If the sail switch opens during cycle operation the display will read “No AIRFLOW”  
along with an audio indication. The machine will continue to run with no heat for three (3) minutes or until  
the temperature drops below 100º F (38º C). Upon failure the machine will shut down and display “No  
AIRFLOW” with an audio indication.  
3. bURNER SAFETY FAIL- Routine monitors the temperature above the burner. If the burner hi-limit  
switch opens the display will read “bURNER SAFETY FAIL.” The machine will run with no heat for  
three (3) minutes or until the temperature drops below 100º F (38º C). Upon failure the machine will shut  
down and display “bURNER SAFETY FAIL” with an audio indication.  
4. dRUM SAFETY FAIL- This routine monitors the tumbler (basket) temperature if the tumbler (basket)  
hi-limit switch opens prior or during the cycle while the heat was on the machine will display “dRUM  
SAFETYFAIL.” The machine will continue to run with no heat for three (3) minutes or until the temperature  
drops below 100º F (38º C). Upon failure the machine will shut down and display “dRUM SAFETY  
FAIL” with an audio indication.  
5. No HEAT- This routine monitors the burner ignition. If the burner mis-ignites (does not light) the HSI  
(Hot Surface Ignition) module will check to see of the microprocessor program has any retries left. The  
standard retry count is two (2). If the module notices that there are retries left it will purge for one (1)  
minute then try to ignite the burner again. The HSI (Hot Surface Ignition) module will try this for a total  
of three (3) times or until there are no retries left. If the burner does not ignite after three (3) attempts the  
L.E.D. display will display the error code “no heat” with an audio indication. When this occurs the  
machine will run with no heat for three (3) minutes or until the temperature drops below 100º F (38º C).  
IMPORTANT: For other countries, such asAustralia, the retry count may not apply due to local  
approvals.  
36  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
6. bURNER CONTROL FAIL- This routine monitors the ignition control’s gas valve output response. If  
the valve output signal is not present from the ignition control within the valve time limits the Phase 6  
microprocessor controller (computer) determines the ignition control has failed. If this occurs when the  
cycle is active the machine will display “bURNER CONTROL FAIL.” If the tumbler temperature is  
above 100º F (38º C) the machine will continue to display “bURNER CONTROL FAIL.” The machine  
will run with no heat for three (3) minutes or until the temperature drops below 100º F (38º C). If the  
tumbler temperature is below 100º F (38º C) upon failure the machine will shut down and display “bURNER  
CONTROL FAIL” with an audio indication.  
7. bURNER FLAME FAIL- This routine allows two (2) flame out retries to occur before proceeding into  
the error. The count of two (2) will be established every time the call for heat was to occur. Only if it  
reaches the count of two (2) before the tumbler temperature has reached the set temperature will this  
error be triggered. The machine will run with no heat for three (3) minutes or until the temperature drops  
below 100º F (38º C). If the tumbler temperature is below 100º F (38º C) upon failure, the machine will  
shut down and display "bURNER FLAME FAIL" with an audio indication. This process will occur every  
time the heat output is active.  
8. MAIN DOOR- This monitors the door circuit. If the machine was not active and the main door was  
opened the display would read “REAdY. If a program attempt was made with the main doors open the  
display will read "MAIN dOOR" with an audio indication. If the machine is active and the main door was  
opened the display would read “MAIN dOOR” with no audio indication and the dryer will shut down.  
Once the main door has closed the display would read “PRESS START” press the “ENTER/START”  
key and it will continue the programmed cycle.  
9. LINT dOOR- This monitors the lint drawer and door circuit. If the machine was not active and the lint  
drawer and door was opened the display would read “REAdY. If a program attempt was made with the  
lint drawer and door open the display would read “LINT dOOR” with an audio indication. If the machine  
is active and the lint drawer and door was opened the display would read “LINT dOOR” with no audio  
indication and the dryer will shut down. Once the lint door was closed the display would read “PRESS  
START” press the “ENTER/START” key and it will continue the programmed cycle.  
10. TEMP SENSOR FAIL CHECK TEMP SENSOR FUSE- This routine monitors the tumbler  
temperature. When the temperature sensor or fuse opens with the machine not active the display will  
read “TEMP SENSOR FAIL CHECK TEMP SENSOR FUSE” with an audio indication. If the machine  
was active at the time that the temperature sensor or fuse opened the display would read “TEMP SENSOR  
FAIL CHECK TEMP SENSOR FUSE.” If the tumbler temperature is above 100º F (38º C) the machine  
will continue to display “TEMPSENSOR FAILCHECK TEMP SENSOR FUSE” with an audio indication  
and run with no heat for three (3) minutes or until the temperature drops below 100º F (38º C). If the  
tumbler temperature is below 100º F (38º C) upon failure the machine will shut down and display “TEMP  
SENSOR FAIL CHECK TEMP SENSOR FUSE” with an audio indication. The display will continue to  
read “TEMP SENSOR FAIL CHECK TEMP SENSOR FUSE” an audio indication will sound for  
approximately 5 seconds, every 30 seconds until the problem is corrected or the power to the dryer is  
disconnected (and the problem is corrected).  
NOTE: Once the Phase 6 microprocessor controller (computer) detects a problem in the heat circuit, it  
updates every 30 seconds, so that if the problem was a loose connection in the circuit which  
corrected itself, the “TEMPSENSOR FAILCHECK TEMPSENSOR FUSE” condition  
would automatically be cancelled and the display will return to “REAdY.”

11. ROTATE SENSOR FAIL- Indicates a rotational sensor circuit failure meaning that there is a fault  
somewhere in the tumbler (basket) rotating circuit, or the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller  
(computer) program related to this circuit (program location 2) is set incorrectly. In the active mode  
it should be (ROTATE SENSOR ACTIVE), if the dryer is not equipped with the optional rotational  
sensor it should be set in the nonactive mode (No ROTATE SENSOR).  
NOTE: RPM- This routine monitors the timing response from the existing rotational sensor input and  
derives a RPM measurement. To display this RPM measurement (press the “ENTER/START”  
key once and release, then press the “ENTER/START” key a second time and hold. This will  
display the RPM measurement). The rotational sensor must be active for operation of this  
feature.  
12. CHECK MAIN FUSE- Indicates that the circuit fuse protection which is located on the back side  
of the Phase 6 microprocessor controller (computer) the display would read “CHECK MAIN FUSE.”  
If the display continues after the fuse has been replaced then it is the fault of the Phase 6 microprocessor  
controller (computer).  
B. L.E.D. (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE) DISPLAY INDICATORS  
The L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator dots located on the top portion of the display indicates various Phase 6  
OPL computer output functions while a cycle is in progress. These indicator dots (as shown in the illustration  
below) DO NOT necessarily mean that the outputs are functioning. They are only indicating that the function  
output should be active (on).  
1. L.E.D. DISPLAY INDICATOR NUMBER 1  
a. For Optional Reversing Models:  
1) This indicator dot is on when the drive tumbler (basket) motor is operating in the forward mode

calling for the heating circuit to be active (on).  
38  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
4. L.E.D. DISPLAY INDICATOR NUMBER 4  
a. On Indicator:  
1) This indicator dot is on whenever a cycle is in progress. Additionally, when the Anti-Wrinkle  
program is active, the indicator dot will be on whenever the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller  
(computer) is in the Guard On Time program.  
5. L.E.D. DISPLAY INDICATOR NUMBER 5  
a. Air Jet Circuit - OPTIONAL  
1) This indicator dot is on at the end of the dryer cycle for approximately 60 seconds.  
C. PHASE 6 OPL MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLER (COMPUTER) RELAY  
OUTPUT L.E.D. (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE) INDICATORS  
There are a series of five (5) L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicators (ORANGE LIGHTS) located at the backside  
of the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer). These are identified or labeled (from top to bottom in  
the illustration below as: FAN-BLOWER, FOR-FORWARD, REV-REVERSE, AIR-AIR-JET, HT1-HEAT  
OUTPUT. There are a series of seven [7] L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicators [red lights] FUSE-MAIN  
FUSE, LINT-LINT DOOR, MAIN-MAIN DOOR, DRUM-TUMBLER HI-LIMIT, SAIL-SAIL SWITCH,  
BURN-BURNER HI LIMIT, FLAME-FLAME PROBE). The L.E.D. (light emitting diode) in the center of the  
board (red light) indicates power supplied to the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer). These  
L.E.D.’s (light emitting diode) indicate the inputs and outputs of the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor (computer) as  
it monitors the safety circuits.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
1. “FAN” (BLOWER) Output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) Indicator  
a. If the dryer is started and the blower motor is not operating, yet the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor  
controller (computer) display fan indicator dot and power supply input L.E.D. (light emitting diode)  
are on, but the fan output L.E.D. is off, then the fault is the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller  
(computer) itself.  
1) If the motor is not operating. The fan indicator dot and output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) are  
also on, then the problem (fault) is elsewhere (i.e., external of the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor  
controller [computer]).  
2. “FOR” (FORWARD) Output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) Indicator (for optional reversing  
model ONLY)  
a. If the dryer is started and the blower motor is operating, but the drive (tumbler/basket) motor is not,  
yet the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) display “FORWARD” indicator dot is on,  
the “FOR” (FORWARD) motor output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) is off; then the fault is the Phase  
6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) itself.  
1) If the drive tumbler (basket) motor is not operating and the forward indicator dot and output  
L.E.D. (light emitting diode) is on; then the problem (fault) is elsewhere (i.e., external of the  
Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller [computer]).  
3. “REV” (REVERSE) Output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) Indicator (for optional reversing  
models ONLY)  
a. If the dryer is started and the blower motor is operating but the drive (tumbler and basket) motor is  
not, yet the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) displays “REVERSE” indicator dot is  
on but the “REV” (REVERSE) motor output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) is off; then the fault is of  
the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) itself.  
1) If the drive tumbler (basket) motor is not operating and reverse indicator dot and output L.E.D.  
(light emitting diode) is on; then the problem (fault) is elsewhere (i.e., external of the Phase 6 OPL  
microprocessor controller [computer]).  
4. “AIR” (AIR JET) Output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) Indicator - OPTIONAL  
a. “AIR” is on with the display dot at the end of the dry cycle once the display reads “dONE,” it is on for  
approximately 60-seconds and the output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator and the display dot go  
out. If the air jet DOES NOT energize it is not the fault of the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor  
controller (computer). If the output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) or dot DO NOT go on it is the fault  
of the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer).  
5. “HT1” (HEAT) Output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) Indicator  
a. If the dryer is started and there is “No Heat” yet the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)  
display heat circuit indicator dot is on, but the “HT1” output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator is  
off; then the fault is in the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) itself.  
1) If the dryer is started and there is “No Heat” yet both the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor controller  
(computer) display indicator dots and the “HT1” output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator are  
on; then the problem (fault) is elsewhere (i.e., external of the Phase 6 OPL microprocessor  
controller [computer]).

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
6. “FUSE” (MAIN FUSE) Input L.E.D. (light emitting diode) Indicator  
a. Should be on ALL the time (even if the dryer is not running). If the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) is  
not on; then the display will read “CHECK MAIN FUSE.” If the main fuse is good then the fault is  
on the Phase 6 microprocessor controller (computer).  
7. “LINT” (LINT DOOR) Input L.E.D. (light emitting diode) Indicator  
a. Should be on ALL the time (unless the lint door is opened then the “LINT” L.E.D. [light emitting  
diode] indicator will go out).  
b. If the dryer is active (running) and the lint door is opened the “LINT” L.E.D. (light emitting diode)  
indicator will go out and the display will read “LINT dOOR.” The dryer will stop until the Lint  
Drawer has been closed, at which time the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display will read “PRESS  
START.” At this time, to resume the drying cycle press “ENTER/START” key.  
8. “MAIN” (MAIN DOOR) Input L.E.D. (light emitting diode) Indicator  
a. Should be on ALL the time (unless the lint door is open or the main door is opened then the “MAIN”  
L.E.D. [light emitting diode] indicator will go out).  
b. If the dryer is active (running) and the main door is opened the “MAIN” L.E.D. (light emitting diode)  
indicator will go out and the display will read “MAIN dOOR.” The dryer will stop until the main door  
has been closed, at which time the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display will read “PRESS START.”  
At this time, to resume the drying cycle press “ENTER/START” key.  
9. “DRUM” (TUMBLER [BASKET] HI-LIMIT) Input L.E.D. (light emitting diode) Indicator  
a. Should be on at ALL times (unless the tumbler [basket] hi-limit switch opens prior during the cycle  
while the heat was on the display would read “dRUM Safety FAIL”). The machine will run with no  
heat for three (3) minutes or until the temperature drops below 100º F (38º C). Then the machine will  
shut down still displaying “dRUM SAFETYFAIL” with an audio indication.  
10. “SAIL” (SAIL SWITCH) Input L.E.D. (light emitting diode) Indicator  
a. This routine will prevent start up on the machine unless the sail switch is in the correct position. If the  
sail switch is in the closed position prior to start, the “SAIL” output L.E.D. (light emitting diode)  
indicator will be off, the machine will not start and the display will read “SAIL SWITCH FAIL” along  
with an audio indication.  
b. If the sail switch opens during the cycle the “SAIL” output L.E.D. (light emitting diode) will go out  
and the display will read “NOAIRFLOW.” The machine will run with no heat for three (3) minutes  
or until the temperature drops below 100º F (38º C). Then the machine will shut down still displaying  
“NO AIRFLOW” along with an audio indication.  
11. “BURN” (BURN HI-LIMIT) Input L.E.D. (light emitting diode) Indicator

contactor according to your diagram is marked CR2. The coil markings A1 and A2.  
If voltage is present, replace reversing contactor.  
If voltage is not present, there is a faulty wire or termination between BS2 and contactor coil (CR2).  
c. If there is voltage across the two AS2 terminals and no voltage across the two BS2 terminals, replace the  
arc suppressor (A.S.) board.  
If there is no voltage across the two AS2 terminals on the arc suppressor (A.S.) board, the problem is a  
faulty wire or termination between the AS2 board and the J7 9-pin computer connector no. 8 or faulty  
computer.  
3. Drive motor works in forward mode but DOES NOT reverse, blower motor runs  
a. If computer dot (second one from left) does not come on, check program to see if set for reverse.

replace the motor.  
If there is no voltage at the blower motor, the problem is faulty wires or terminations between the contactor  
and the motor.  
b. If there is no voltage present at A1 and A2 of the contactor, check for voltage across the two BS1  
terminals of the arc suppressor (A.S.) board.  
If there is voltage present at the two BS1 terminals, the problem is faulty wires or terminations between  
the two BS1 terminals and the coil (A1 and A2) terminals.  
If there is no voltage across the two BS1 terminals, check for voltage across the two AS1 terminals.  
If there is voltage across the two AS1 terminals and there is no voltage between the two BS1 terminals,  
replace the arc suppressor (A.S.) board.

is on replace the board.  
b. If the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) input light “HT1” on the component side of the computer is on and  
there is no voltage to the HSI (Hot Surface Ignition) module “w” the display will read “BURNER CONTROL  
FAIL.” The problem is faulty wires or terminations between microprocessor and HSI (Hot Surface  
Ignition) module.  
c. If voltage is present on the HSI (Hot Surface Ignition) module “w” to ground. Check voltage at the gas  
valve if voltage is present across the two “yellow” wires at the gas valve and the gas supply is on then the  
fault is that of the gas valve.  
8. Microprocessor (Computer)  
a. Replace the temperature sensor underneath the tumbler (basket) on a bracket (the bullet shaped device).  
b. If it still reads “TEMP SENSOR FAIL CHECK TEMP SENSOR FUSE,” unplug J3 4-pin connector from  
the temperature sensor bracket. Also, unplug the microprocessor J14 4-pin connector from the computer  
board. Take a continuity reading from J14 no. 1 to J3 no. 1, then from J14 no. 2 to J3 no. 2.

IMPORTANT  
MANUAL RESET HI-LIMIT INSTRUCTIONS  
FOR PHASE 6 MODELS  
This dryer was manufactured with a manual reset burner hi-limit and tumbler/lint chamber hi-limit thermostat  
which is monitored by the Phase 6 computer. If either manual reset thermostat is open prior to start of the drying  
cycle, the dryer will start momentarily and then shut down, the Phase 6 computer will display an error code with  
an audio indication. If the tumbler/lint chamber hi-limit thermostat is open, the display will read “dRUM SAFETY  
FAIL.” If the burner hi-limit thermostat is open, the display will read “bURNER SAFETY FAIL.”  
If either manual reset hi-limit thermostat opens during a drying cycle, the display will show the applicable error  
code described above along with an audio indication. If the drum temperature is above 100º F (38º C), the dryer  
will continue to run with no heat for three (3) minutes or until the drum temperature has flattened below 100º F  
(38º C). The clear/stop button on the Phase 6 keypad (touchpad) must be pressed to clear the error condition.  
The open manual reset hi-limit thermostat must be reset “manually” prior to the start of the next cycle.  
This hi-temperature condition may be caused due to a restricted exhaust, poor airflow or improper burner operation.  
The location of the burner hi-limit is on the right side of the burner box and the tumbler hi-limit is located in the lint  
chamber area.  
WARNING: Discontinue power to dryer before attempting to reset hi-limit.  
IMPORTANT  
This dryer is equipped with a burner  
hi-limit and tumbler/lint chamber hi-limit  
thermostat which must be reset manually.  
WARNING: Discontinue power to dryer  
before attempting to reset hi-limit.

SECTION VIII  
TECHNICAL INFORMATION  
The following section contains various technical information important to the service person in servicing and  
maintaining the dryer.  
A. MOTOR PLATE (HIGH and LOW VOLTAGE)  
The motor plate is located on the side of the drive motor (refer to illustration) and contains a graphical representation  
of the motor wiring for both low and high voltage ratings.  
Removing the cap reveals the wiring to the motor. On each wire there is a number which corresponds to the  
numbers on the motor plate. Depending on whether the dryer is operating on low or high voltage, the wiring  
should match the motor plate as follows:  
The dots and lines represent connections (refer to illustration).  
For example:  
On low voltage - wire no. 14 is connected to wire no. 4  
- wire no. 1 is connected to wire no. 7, which in turn are both connected to L1  
On high voltage - wire no. 14 is insulated or capped  
- wire no. 4 is connected to wire no. 7  
- wire no. 1 is connected to L1
