Temperature Control

The user can select either a dryness level that they require or a timed drying period. Auto
sensing of the clothes load dryness level is achieved by touch sensors that sense the
moisture content of the load. An exhaust temperature sensor is used to monitor the
exhaust temperature. The controller limits the temperature to what is required for the
various cycles.
An auto reset thermostat located on the burner housing also limits the heat into the dryer,
but if it fails to operate, them a manually resetable thermostat also situated on the burner
housing will trip at 318

Cool Down

The dryer enters a cool down period at the end of the cycle. During this period the dryer
continues to run with the heating elements/burner turned off, blowing cool air through the
load to help prevent creasing. If an Auto Sensing cycle has been selected, the cool down
period will continue until the exhaust temperature drops to 95
cycle has been selected, the cool down period will run for the last 5 to10 minutes of the
timed dry period.

Drum Parts.

1. Drum Inlet End: Allows inlet air to pass through. This is how air enters the drum. It
also houses the inlet central bearing assembly, about which the drum rotates.
2. Drum End Outlet: Provides the route for air to exit the drum as well as securing
the lint filter. The outer face has dimples which are collectively referred to as "the
drum tachometer". The central flange of the drum end outlet is supported and
guided by seven bearing pads which are mounted in the outlet duct.
