    WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Turn ALL power to unit OFF before service. All service should be done by or under the supervision of a trained technician FAQ. 1. My dryer turns on but the belt isn't spinning. Does the belt turn easily by hand? If yes, loosen the belt. (Image 1) Next, using pliers pull the belt pin to separate the two ends of the belt (Image 2 and 3) Image 2 Image 1...
  • Page 15 Image 7 (Misaligned Sprocket View) Image 8 If the bearings are loose on the motor side, reset the distance between the arms and the belt tension bracket (Image 8). This will allow for the assembly to fit properly into the arms. Secure the bearing set screws (Image 9).
  • Page 16 (2 Continued) With the probes inserted into the plug, set the belt speed control at 0, the meter should read zero or close to it. Then turn the belt speed to 100, the meter should now read 90vdc. If the reading is 0 regardless of speed control setting its now time to open the top of the dryer.
  • Page 17 Locate the ceramic resistor on the speed control board (Image 16) Image 16 Resistor Part AJ Once the Resistor is located, remove it. Using a piece of wire or paper clip, jump the two open terminals the resistor came out of (Image 17) Image 17 Using the Digital meter in the VDC setting, repeat the testing seen in images 11 and 12.
  • Page 18 To test the Speed Control Board, use a digital Volt/Ohm meter set the dial to the ACV setting (ACV 200-1000 on a non auto-ranging meter). With the Red probe from the meter, touch the circuit tab on L1, with the black probe touch the L2 (Image 18) Image 18 Image 19 If the AC voltage coming into the board is correct (115/230 ACV) but there is no power coming out, the speed control board...
  • Page 19 3. My Dryer Isn't Heating up Remove the top of the dryer (Image 13 and 14). Locate the Power Switch (Image 20) Image 20 Once the Switch is located, 2 large WHITE wires can be seen connected to the switch (Image 20). Using a digital Volt/Ohm meter set the dial to the ACV setting (ACV 200-1000 on a non auto-ranging meter) , turn the dryer on and test the voltage across the switch.
  • Page 20 If voltage reading is normal, the element is bad (Image 23). To verify the element is bad use a digital Volt/Ohm meter in the resistance setting (Omega symbol Ω). With the dryer OFF, locate the terminal block. Check the 2 large WHITE wires leading to the element .
  • Page 21 Image 24 To replace the element, locate the 2 large WHITE wires leading to the element. Disconnect them from the terminal block. Next, locate the 4 nuts holding the element in place (Image 25). Hex Bolt Part AM Image 25 Hex Nut Part P Once the nuts are located, loosen them to drop the element down to the belt.
  • Page 22 4. My belt Isn’t tracking straight. Loosen the belt (Image 1). Center the belt on the roller. On the end of the dryer without the motor, set the gap on both sides of the belt tensioners so that they are equal (Image 8). Between 1”1/4 and 1”3/8 on each side is ideal. Image 8 Once these have been set, ALL adjustments will be made from the motor side of the dryer.
