Dryers: Shuts off unexpectedly

The hot surface igniter (101D) is explicitly called out as fragile in the manual. When removing the burner assembly, use extreme care to avoid damage to the igniter. Resistance should be 40-400 ohm. Do not touch the ceramic element with bare hands as oils can cause premature failure. The manual uses a special warning symbol for this component.

AC220-240V is applied to the triac T1 and T2 on the main PCB. Even when the dryer appears off, dangerous voltage may be present on the PCB. Strong and weak electricity are mixed together on the board. Never touch PCB components while the dryer is plugged in.

This model uses a Powder Coat (Gray) drum, not stainless steel. When cleaning the drum interior, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for easily marred surfaces. Do not use abrasive substances. Some dye transfer stains may be visible but will not affect subsequent loads. Tumble old towels to remove remaining cleaning substances.

The electric model uses a 10K ohm thermistor at 25 deg C, while the gas model uses a 238.23K ohm thermistor at 25 deg C. These are dramatically different values. When diagnosing tC errors, use the correct reference value for the model type. Additionally, the gas model has a radiant sensor with < 1 ohm resistance that is separate from the thermistor.
