1. Steps to follow:
Besides, they should know the framework or structure of the product. The dryer
consists of components like the base, drum, door, control panel and cabinet, etc.
1 Motor
The motor here refers to the capacitor-run single-phase asynchronous motor. Its
main components are the stator and the rotor. Between the stator and the rotor
there is an air gap, which is normally in open type for the consideration of heat
emission and moisture ejectment.
The motor provides the majority power for the operation of the dryer, serving as
the power source. If it breaks, the drier would be out of function.
2Capacitor
The capacitor is made up of the shell, polar board, dielectric and connection
terminal, etc. Its main performance standards are capacitance, pressure tight,
medium consumption and stability. Too large a capacitance will lead to an
overwhelming motor temperature enhancement and thus quicken the aging of
the medium; On contrary, too small a capacitance will reduce the overloading
capability of the motor.
3 Sensitive Switch
The sensitive switch, also called safety switch, is used to stop the dryer from
functioning when its door opens at a certain distance.
4 Thermostat
This device is used to limit the temperature inside the drum by automatically
cutting off the circuit in case of any abnormities. Users or owners are not allowed
to reset it because of its structure.
5 Auto-restoration Thermostat
This kind of thermostat can restore the current when the relevant components of
the dryer fully cool off.
6 Manual Thermostat
The restoration of current requires manual work rather than automatic work.
7 Temperature Sensor
It is used to sense the internal temperature of the dryer drum.
8 Calefaction Pipe
It is used to heat the air of the drum when the dryer starts functioning.
2) Cause Analysis
To figure out the cause to the failure, one can electrify the dryer to make it
function and check the failure condition. Meanwhile, further manual failure
confirmation work is needed.
3) Maintenance and Testing
Once the failure is confirmed, repair or service work is required to the dryer.
Replace those components that need change with new ones. However, the
replacement of the electronic program controller shall examine the relevant
electric devices as well to avoid a vicious circle. Because the electronic program
controller failures are normally caused by the mechanical faults of periphery
controlling electric devices.
fever while the power switch is shut off after the procedure runs.
Possible Cause: In the course of running or even after an end of running, some
components have to emit heat.
Failure Phenomenon No.5: To open and close the door during its

button, only to find the drum doesnt rotate while the indicator light
is on.
1) If the motor is all right, the maintenance methods should be:
a. To check first of all whether there is any severe distortion or deformation
on the cabinet and the base board;
b. If there isnt, continue to check whether there is any damage to the belt
or whether the belt is fully installed. Replace the damaged belt or
improve the installation if necessary.
c. If the belt is in right position, check the tight pulley components. If this
pulley cant rotate or it meets too large a resistance, replace it or its axis.
If the deformation of its bracket leads to the nonfunctioning of all
components, replace the bracket. Similarly, if its for springs reason,
change the spring.
d. If all of the above mentioned phenomena are non-existent, check whether
there is a belt skid effect. If there is, change the belt.
2) If the motor doesnt work, the maintenance methods should be as follows:
a. To check whether there is any problem related to the electronic program
controller wire, whether there is any rupture to the wiring harness.
b. To check whether the capacitance matches the motor and the connection
is fully conducted.
c. Use a new capacitor to conduct a test. If it can work, the capacitor is to
blame; If the problem still exists, the motor should be the cause and need
to be replaced.
d. If both the capacitor and the motor are all right, try to replace the
electronic program controller to find out whether the failure disappears.

Analysis and Maintenance:
To find out whether the motor wiring connection is correctly installed. If it is,
turn to check the electronic program controller.

Possible Causes:
1) Dropping off or malposition of buttons
2) The key-press section has any damages
3) There is any failure related to the electronic program controller

Failure Phenomenon: No air at the air uptake while the dryer drum
is working.
