Diagnostics and Remedies

Symptom Corrective Actions for Initial Installation Failures
If the dryer will not run First ensure that the breaker supplying the dryer

is operational. If it is, disconnect the power and remove the dryer cover. Taking suitable precautions to avoid shock hazard, reconnect the power and check for Voltage at the terminal block. Verify that connections are made correctly.
The dryer cycles by itself or runs constantly| Ensure that there is no obstruction on or in front of the IR sensor. Clean any dirt or debris off the sensor lens. If problem persists, replace sensor.
The dryer makes a loud noise and does not run for a complete cycle| Ensure that the supply Voltage is correct. Dryer will make a loud humming noise if the input Voltage is too high. Verify Voltage requirement on unit rating label and correct supply as required. If CBM has been damaged, replace CBM, IR sensor module.
The dryer runs but air stream is low pressure and/or low velocity| Ensure that the supply Voltage is correct. Dryer will run weakly if the input Voltage is too low. Verify Voltage requirement on unit rating label and correct supply as required.
If the dryer will not run| First ensure that the breaker supplying the dryer is operational. If it is, disconnect the power and remove the dryer cover. Replace the CBM and IR sensor module. Taking suitable precautions to avoid shock hazard, reconnect the power and check for Voltage at the terminal block.
For 208~240 V and 277 V:
Disconnect power from unit; disconnect heater element from circuit; check resistance (Ω) of element with multimeter. If Ω is off-scale infinitely large then replace element. If Ω is between 25 and 30 then check motor brushes for wear and replace them if remaining graphite is ≤ 25/64″ [10]. If after reassembly and testing there is still no motor function then replace motor.
The IR sensor only “sees” close range objects| Ensure that there is no obstruction on or in front of the IR sensor. Clean any dirt or debris off the sensor lens. Check VR for sensor range setting, If problem persists, disconnect the power and remove the dryer cover and replace CBM, IR sensor module.
The heater gets hot but no air stream is produced| Disconnect the power. Remove the dryer cover. Check VR for speed setting Disassemble the blower- motor/ fan housing. Replace the fan motor. Reassemble.
The dryer only blows cold air during a full cycle| Disconnect the power. Remove the dryer cover and check/ ensure heater SW is ON. Disassemble the blower-motor/fan housing. Test the thermostat for open circuit. Check the heater element for signs of burning or breakage. Damaged element must be replaced.
The air stream is low pressure and velocity| Check the output nozzle for obstructions. If none are present, disconnect the power. Remove the dryer cover. Remove any dust/lint buildup from intake vent slots. Check VR for speed setting. Disassemble the blower- motor/fan housing. Check the motor brushes for worn condition (≤ 25/64″ [10] graphite remains) and replace them, if necessary.
