1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose of this Manual The purpose of this Service Manual is to provide service engineers who already have the basic knowledge ne- cessary to repair dryers with information concerning condenser dryers with electronic control systems. The electronic control consists of a main board having an integrated selector and on some models a LCD dis- play, supplied already mounted and tested by the building factory.
2 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS 2.1 Technical data Height: 85 cm Dimensions of appliance Width: 60 cm Depth: 58 cm Volt: 220 - 240 Power supply 50/60 No. Buttons No. LEDs Depending on the model Small LCD on TC3 models. Type of display Big LCD on TC2 models Buzzer Buzzer incorporated in the PCB.
2.2 Electronic boards The electronic control consists of a main board having an integrated selector, a LCD display, supplied already mounted and tested by the building factory. The pictures of the boards can differ slightly from the ones mounted on the appliances. Main electronic board TC3 with small LCD TC4 with big LCD...
3 CONTROL PANEL 3.1 Stylings Small Display Big Display With information on the dis- play 3.2 Programme selector The 15-position selector on models wit small LCD (TC3), and 21 posi- tions on models with big LCD (TC2) feature an integrated ON / OFF switch and are integrated in the board.
3.5 Child safety (on some models) Pushing buttons 3 and 4 simultaneously for 5 sec- onds the child safety is activated, all buttons are deactivated and no modification is possible. To deactivate this protection, push the buttons pre- viously pushed 3.6 Delicate ½...
3.7 Spin speed regulation With this regulation the electronic circuit receives the information that the spin has occurred at a cer- tain speed and the clothes consequently have a certain humididty degree. On some programmes this value modifies the time necessary to the final drying.
3.9 No buzzer This option can be selected only when the dryer is in "selection" mode (set-up). Press this pushbutton to deactivate the buzzer function: the activation is signalled by the switching on of the LED or of the icon. To deactivate the option push button Even when the buzzer function is deactivated, the buzzer will continue to signal an alarm condition.
3.10 Adjusting the level of conductivity The “conductivity” of the water used to wash the fabrics varies from zone to zone: the conductimetric sensor is calibrated to a standard value; any major variations in the level of conductivity may affect the final drying result (i.e.
3.10.2 Displaying the conductivity setting Display Conductivity level Indicative value ( µS/cm ) < 300 MEDIUM 300 - 600 HIGH > 600 Normally, the appliance is factory-set to the highest level; however, certain models may be configured diffe- rently. Your local water supply company can give you information concerning the conductivity of the water in your ar- 3.11 Warning LEDs Heat exchanger cleaning: Lights after 80 drying cycles...
START/PAUSE: Lights with a green flashing light when the cycle is in pause; lights with a fixed green light when the cycle is performing. If there is an alarm, three beeps will be emitted and they will be repeated after some seconds and the LED will flash with a red light.
4 Description of operation of the appliance When the selector is turned from OFF position to a drying programme, the icons relative to the drying phases light up and the START/PAUSE LED flashes with green light. During this phase the various options can be entered, and the corresponding LEDs will light. The lower right display shows the maximum time of drying cycle.
4.2 Operation in PAUSE mode If START/PAUSE is pressed while a drying cycle is being performed, the dryer interrupts the current cycle, the green LED of the START / PAUSE button flashes and the display shows time to end. If the selector is turned, the buzzer warns the user of the error. In this situation, only certain options can be modified, see tab.
4.3 Operation in DELAYED START mode After selecting a drying cycle, press this button to enter the delayed start option. Every time the button is pressed the delay time increases. To cancel this option move the selector of one position or press the button till the time is cancelled. The start of the cycle is always determined by pressing the START/PAUSE button.
5 CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES 5.1 Drying circuit Version with canister in upper section Version with canister in lower section There are two air circuits inside the dryer: • the first is a warm-air circuit, which is sealed within the appliance • the second is an open cold-air circuit, which circulates air from the ambient through certain sections of the appliance In the sealed warm-air circuit, the air circulates inside the appliance:...

5.3 Drum The drum consists of a drum housing where the two flanges are crimped, the rear one with a hole that allows the air to flow through and the other open to allow the insertion of the clothes. Inside the drum there are 3 drum lifters which during the normal operation let the clothes move around.
5.5 Hydraulic circuit (versions with upper canister) 1. Pump immersed in the sump 2. Water fill hose to canister (red) 3. Overflow drain hose (transparent) 4. Canister The condensation water is ducted from the sump (1) to the tank (4) by the pump immersed in the sump via the hose (2).
6 Electrical components 6.1 Main electronic board The electronic control consists of a main electronic board fitted into a plastic container, fixed behind the control support. In the models with LCD there is also the display board mounted on this container. 1.
6.1.2 Memory of the electronic control : general structure The main PCB features an EEPROM, positioned externally to the microprocessor, which memorizes the con- figuration data, the description of the cycle, the status of the appliance in case of a power failure, and the alarms.
6.1.3 Inverter motor control board A Inverter motor control board B Main electronic board C Inverter motor The Inverter motor control board controls the drum rotation motor and receives the clock pulses and the supply from the main board. The thermal protection of the motor in case of operation interrupts the supply not directly on the motor, but through the main electronic board.
6.2 Conductimetric sensor This electronic features a conductimetric sensor which consists of an electronic circuit (positioned inside the power board) and a section located exter- nally to the board which consists of the wiring, two brushes, the two drum lifters and the drum. The measurement of the resistance value occurs between the drum (1) and the isolated drum lifters (2).
6.4 Heater unit A Filament heating element B Ceramic supports C Sheet metal casing D TH2 Safety thermostat E TH1 Safety thermostat The heater unit consists of two wire heating elements with different powers. The two heating elements are fitted to ceramic supports, and the entire assembly is housed in a sheet metal casing.
6.5 NTC sensor The NTC sensor is fitted to the hot air fan duct. It consists of a heater, inserted inside a metallic capsule, which value diminishes with the increasing of the temperature. The electronic circuit reads the resistance (which var- ies with the temperature inside the dryer);...
6.7 Motor 1. Fan (inclined blades for cold air circulation) 2. Belt tensioner 3. Motor 4. Fan (straight blades for warm air circulation) The motor group consists of a belt tensioner (2), two fan blades (1 and 4) for circulating cold and warm air re- spectively, fitted to the motor shaft using bolts, and a single-phase asynchronous motor (3) featuring a temper- ometric protector.
6.8 Door switch The door switch allows the electronic board to power the electrical components only if the door is closed, if a programme has been chosen and the ON/OFF button has been pushed. The switch is positioned centrally and above the front opening and it is actioned by a catch placed on the door. 6.9 Door interlock Depending on the versions, the door interlock can be mechanical with manual door opening or electronic with door opening by pushing a button.
8 DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM In diagnostic mode, it is possible to check the operation of the appliance and to read the alarm codes 8.1 Access to diagnostics 1. The appliance must be switched OFF. 2. Switch the appliance ON by turning the programme selector knob one position clockwise. 3.
IMPORTANT • The alarms remain active during component diagnostics testing. If an alarm should be displayed, turn the programme selector to the first position to exit the alarm situation, and then continue the testing cycle (if the alarm is not repeated). •...
8.3 Selector positions for diagnostics on conductimetric appliances When the various functions in the diagnostic mode are entered, in the LCD models, in the right lower part of the display some writings appear (ex. C7 - C5 etc.). These represent the codification of the selector and are not relevant for the test being executed.
