Routine Maintenance _________________
Cleaning
A program and/or schedule should be established for the
periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various
areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system.
The frequency of cleaning can best be determined from
experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency
is dependent upon proper airflow. The accumulation of lint
can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section are
met, the dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble free,
and most importantly, safe operation.
When cleaning the dryer cabinet, avoid using harsh abrasives.
A product intended for the cleaning of appliances is
recommended.
!
WARNING
Lint from most fabrics is highly combustible. The
accumulation of lint can create a potential fire hazard.
Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average
usage, which is considered 6 to 8 operational (running)
hours per day.
Suggested Cleaning Schedule
Every Third of Fourth Load
Clean the dryer’s internal lint screen about every third or fourth
load. A clogged lint screen will reduce the airflow, and cause
poor dryer performance. The screen is located behind the
lint door just below the main loading door. Open the lint door
and brush the lint off the screen.
Inspect the lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE: To remove the lint screen from the dryer, open the
lint door at least 90 degrees. Located just above the lint
screen is a clamp retained by two screws. Use a 5/16"
(8mm) wrench to remove the two screws and the clamp.
The lint screen is mounted in a track. Slide the lint screen
out of the track.
To replace it, reverse the above procedure.
Weekly
Clean lint accumulation from the lint chamber, thermostat and
microprocessor temperature sensor area. The thermostat and
microprocessor temperature sensor area is located in the
ductwork just above the lint screen. All of these areas are
accessed by opening the lint door.
Steam Dryers
Clean the steam coil fins. We suggest using compressed air
and a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment.
!
WARNING
When cleaning steam coil fins, be careful not to bend
the fins. If fins are bent, straighten by using a fin
comb, which is available from local air-conditioning
supply houses.
90 Days
Remove lint from the gas valve burner area with a dusting
brush or vacuum cleaner. The gas valve burner area is located
behind the control door just above the main loading door.
NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching
igniter/flame-probe assembly.
Clean any lint accumulation in and around the motor(s) casing
openings. The motors are located at the back of the dryer.
The dryers back guard must be removed to access this area.
!
WARNING
To avoid the hazard of electrical shock and contact
with moving parts, discontinue electrical supply to
the dryer before removing the back guard.
6 Months
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in the dryer's air handling
systems. This includes customer furnished make-up air
openings, exhaust ductwork systems, and from the dryers
internal exhaust ducting.
NOTE: The build up of lint in the air handling systems can
create a potential fire hazard. It can also reduce the flow of
combustion, exhaust and ventilation gases, reducing dryer
performance.
Cleaning of the dryer's internal exhaust may require removing
the lint screen. See the instructions above for removing the
lint screen.
Check any back draft dampers in the exhaust ductwork.
Inspect and remove any lint which can cause the damper to
bind or stick. A back draft damper that is sticking partially
closed can result in slow drying and the shutdown of heat
circuit safety switches and thermostats.
