Reversing Operation - ALLIANCE 120 Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

Operating Instructions

Reversing Operation

Tumble dryers with the reversing option prevent the
tangling of large pieces of laundry and minimize
wrinkling. These tumble dryers are equipped with a
second motor and additional controls which reverse
the rotation direction of the cylinder.
Reverse Control Switch
An "on-off" switch for manual timer models, or a
touch pad for OPL Micro models is placed in the
control panel area so the operator can select the
reversing or nonreversing operation. In nonreversing
mode, the cylinder will always turn clockwise (as
viewed from the front of the tumble dryer). If the
cylinder is turning counterclockwise when switched to
nonreversing, it will continue for a few seconds and
then start up in the proper direction.
IMPORTANT: After any electrical maintenance is
done, make sure that the blower motor is turning
counterclockwise as viewed from the front. Then
set the reverse control switch to "nonreversing"
and note that the cylinder turns constantly
clockwise as viewed from the front of the tumble
dryer. If not, interchange L1 and L2 service leads
to reverse the drive motor.
