  Kathy LynchJul 31, 2025
  If the motor of your Cissell Dryer isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the dryer is receiving power by checking the fuses and circuit breakers, and verify that the main control switch is turned on. Confirm that the power source matches the voltage, phase, and frequency specified on the electrical rating plate. Also, make sure the timer is set by turning it clockwise to the desired time. Inspect the wire connections in the electrical box at the rear of the dryer for any looseness. Finally, the starting relay might be defective, so check its coils and contacts.

  If your Cissell Dryer is making excessive noise or vibrating, here are a few things to check: * Ensure the dryer is properly leveled according to the manual's leveling procedures. * Inspect the fan for any damage that may have caused it to become unbalanced; damaged fans should be replaced. * See if the basket is rubbing and adjust the basket clearance if needed. * Tighten the set screws on the V-belt sheaves and ensure they are properly aligned. * Adjust the belt tension. * Look for any foreign objects, like screws or nails, stuck in the basket perforations and remove them.

  If the motor in your Cissell Dryer is tripping on thermal overload, consider these potential causes. Check the voltage at the motor terminals, ensuring it's within +10% of what's listed on the motor rating plate; if not, consult your local power company. It's also worth checking with your local power company to ensure the wiring is adequately sized for the load. Inspect all electrical connections, tightening any that are loose. Make sure there's adequate air by checking the installation sheet in the service manual for recommended make-up air openings. Lastly, ensure you clean any lint accumulation on and around the motors.

  Heather RobinsonAug 17, 2025
  If the basket motor in your Cissell Dryer isn't running, start by ensuring the loading door is fully closed. If it is, the door switch might be out of adjustment; adjust it by removing the cover and bending the actuator lever to clear the switch button by 3/8" (10 mm) with the cover in place. If the problem persists, the door switch or basket motor contractor may be defective; consider replacing them.

  If the motor in your Cissell Dryer is running, but the basket isn't revolving, the V-belt might be broken or loose; replace the V-belt or adjust the belt tension accordingly. Also, check if the motor pulley is loose and tighten the set screw, and ensure the basket isn't overloaded by removing some of the load.

What to do if Cissell Dryer runs, but there is no heat?
- R
  Ricky ReyesNov 11, 2025
  If your Cissell Dryer runs but doesn't produce heat, start by checking for the correct control voltage (120V). Then, check the power supply and the secondary voltage on the transformer, as well as the wiring and wiring diagram. If those are fine, the gas valve might be defective or the gas supply might be off; replace the coil assembly or turn on the manual gas valve. A defective door switch could also be the culprit, so replace it if necessary. Lastly, check the air switch, cleaning out the lint compartment daily, inspecting the back draft damper for obstructions, checking the duct work for lint build-up, ensuring the duct work and make-up air openings are adequately sized, and verifying the exhaust outlet isn't blocked (never install a screen on the exhaust outlet). Ensure vacuum within ...
