3.5 DRYING (WASHER-DRYERS)

3.5.1 Time switch drying
The components of the drying circuit are powered by a two-sector time switch (it
can vary in function of the model); the maximum time of drying is 120 minutes for
both sectors.
The last 10 minutes are dedicated to the cooling phase.

3.5.2

Automatic drying

The electronic control recognises, through the closure of contact D1-D2
of the time switch, that a drying time has been selected and
automatically, after the washing cycle, it will advance the timer to the
drying phase for all the preset time. Once the drying has been completed,
when the time switch reaches the zero, the contact opens and the
electronic control powers the timer motor to bring it back to the STOP
position.
3.5.3

Drying circuit:

The components of the drying circuit are powered in the
following way:
§
Drying time switch motor (33) / drying pilot lamp
(39) / condensation solenoid (39):
st
1 level pressure switch contact closed on "empty"
-
closure of timer contact G6.2-G6.6
-
closure of time switch contact A1 – A4, A3
-
§
Drying resistance (35):
st
- 1 level pressure switch contact closed on "empty"
(5)
closure of timer contact G6.2-G6.6
-
- closure of time switch contact A1 – A2
- closure of time switch contact B1 – B2
closure of manual-reset thermostat contact (37)
-
- closure of drying thermostat contact (36)
- closure of safety thermostat contact (34)
During the full power drying (cotton) also the second
heating element is inserted via the closure of time switch
contact C1-C2.
§
Fan motor (40):
nd
- 2 level pressure switch closed on "empty" (6)
closure of timer contact V7.5-N4.4
-
During drying phase, drain pump and motor are powered
in the same way as during washing cycle.
