When measured by an Ohm meter, there should be no more than .1 Ohms resistance between the
terminal block ground and any exposed metal dryer cabinet component including control shafts and
switches when probed through or in any unpainted area.
Check continuity between motor frame and motor support bracket using a continuity light. Test light must
illuminate when probing the motor frame with one end of the test light and the motor bracket with the
other.
If dryer fails continuity with a low voltage tester, check continuity using 120 VAC.

Disconnect ground link from the neutral of the terminal block on the dryer. With the dryer completely
assembled and with the door closed, apply 1200 VAC or more for one second to the terminal block
terminals or service cord.
Connect one probe to all three terminals and the other probe to the backsheet. There shall be no more
than 5mA of current during the one second test interval. During the 1 second test, no drop in voltage
below 1200 VAC is permissible.

Audit - (power required after 20 seconds with no load, motor CW direction, and no heat) 200 to 280 watts.
Line Test - (power required after 1-5 seconds with no load, motor CW direction, and no heat) 210 to 290
watts.

The dryer motor should start and operate at 100 volts (200 volts for 230 VAC, 50Hz dryers). The power
will be set to not dip below this voltage during any part of the cycle. Increase the voltage to allow for
meter error and line fluctuations. Test the run with a 50 pound clothes load (25 pounds at 100% moisture)
at "Maximum" heat setting.

When the motor is locked, the thermal protector must open to shut off motor within 3 to 10 seconds. This
test also applies to the 50/60 Hz Motor when test is conducted at 230VAC 60 Hz.
N N O O T T E E : : Tests must be run with a cold (ambient) motor. When tested in the unit, a jumper harness will be
needed to bypass the software alarm for the motor not starting. Without the jumper, the software will stop
the cycle within 3 seconds (before the thermal protector opens) if motor movement is not detected.
Tests must be run at 120VAC (line voltage not to sag below this value when the rotor is locked), unless
specified otherwise.

coins, pins, clips or
buttons are inside the dryer.*
such as belt buckles, zippers
and fasteners may be hitting
the inside of the drum.*

1. Always remove foreign objects from
pockets before laundering. Remove objects
from drum and restart dryer.
2. It may be necessary to sew a scrap of
material securely around ornaments before
drying to prevent scratching and damage to
the dryer.
N N O O T T E E : : *Drum damage caused by foreign
objects or permanently attached items is not
covered by the warranty.
