8 FAULT MODES
Should a fault develop in the Electronic Control system of the dryer, the control panel will display a
particular pattern on the Dryness LEDs as well as a continuous sounding of the buzzer.
If this occurs, first turn the dryer off at the mains socket or unplug the dryer, then reconnect to the
mains and retry the dryer.
8.1 FAULT CODES
If a fault should develop in the temperature measurement system of the dryer control system, a
fault code will be displayed on the front panel.
Fault codes are distinguished from the normal display in that only a combination of the 4 dryness
LEDs will be on and with the beeper sounding on and off.
If a fault code should appear, first switch the dryer off at the wall socket or remove the plug. Switch
on again. If the fault re-occurs, use the following codes to diagnose the fault.
The faults and their respective fault codes are as follows:
8.2 Faulty Exhaust Sensor
Code: 0101
OR 1001
Action: Unplug the exhaust sensor harness at the control module and check the resistance of the
sensor (refer to Testing the Exhaust Sensor section). If faulty replace it.
NOTE: A shorted exhaust sensor can also be sensed by the Temperature Measurement System
as a very low temperature reading. Remember the sensor decreases in resistance as the
temperature decreases. To stop a fault code showing at very low temperatures (below 0
o
), this
fault code will not show until 5
minutes after the dryer has started. This allows the sensors time to
be heated up by the exhaust air.
Refer EXHAUST SENSOR AND DOOR SWITCH TEST to eliminate this delay.
