TROUBLE SHOOTING
A WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to dryer before
servicing, unless testing requires power.
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
As the micom dry machine is configured of the complicate structure, there might be the
service call.
Below information is prepared for exact trouble diagnosis and suitable repair guide.
Caution for the Repair and Replacement
Please follow below instruction for the trouble diagnosis and parts replacement.
1) As some electronic components are damaged by the charged static electricity from the resin
part of dryer or the human body, prepare the human body earth or remove the potential
differ ence of the human body and dryer by contacting the power supply plug when the work
contacting to PCB is executed.
2) Perform troubleshooting before replacing the PCB assembly.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
A WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to dryer before
servicing, unless testing requires power.
No Problem Recommended Checks/Procedures
1Will Not Start or Run
• Check power to the machine.
• Dryer is plugged in.
• Blown fuse or circuit breaker.
• Door switch functional...door closed. Check for error code 3 (See
Table for codedefinition).
• Start/Pause rotary selector dial functional.
• Control Board operational.
• Belt off or broken and Belt Cut-off Switch operates.
• Drive motor functional.
• Check motor winding resistance: 2.88ohms between pin #3 and
4 ,3.5ohms between pin #4 and 5.
2Motor runs/ tumbler
will not turn
• Belt off or broken/damaged.
• Idler tension spring too weak or stretched.
• Idler pulley jammed or stuck.
3Runs a few minutes
and then stops
• Lint buildup around drive motor.
• Low voltage present.
• Blower impeller blocked in blower housing.
• Drive motor - start switch contacts stuck closed.
4
Blows fuses or trips
circuit breaker while
running(Elec. Model)
• Read a amp.(if machine is drawing high current or if breaker is
weak, breaker/fuse rated too low, or wrong fuse installed)
• Is the belt connected well?
• Is the winding of the motor continuous?
(Rotor winding, stator winding, generator)
• Is the motor protector normal?
• If above points are not found, the PCB assembly is out of order.
Replace it.
5
Blows fuses or trips
circuit breaker while
running(Gas Model)
• If the dryer is drawing more amperage than it is suppose to,
then the dryer is at fault. If the breaker is tripping or fuse is
blowing and the dryer is drawing the correct amperage, then
the problem is in the house electrical system.
• Igniter harness loose and shorted to base.
• Incorrect wiring or wire shorted to ground.
• Drive motor winding shorting to ground.
6Will not heat (motor
runs)
Open heating element.
• Regulating thermostat trips easily or is open.
• Check Thermistor.
7
Will Not Dry
Gas Model
Poor Gas Ignition
When the dryer is operated on a heat setting, the igniter should be
energized and burner shall fire within 45 seconds at 120 VAC. The
failure of a component in this system will usually be indicated by one
of three symptoms:

TROUBLE SHOOTING
A WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to dryer before
servicing, unless testing requires power.
No Problem Recommended Checks/Procedures
8The igniter does not
glow
If the igniter does not heat up, remove power and using an
ohmmeter, check the following:
• No power from control(L1 supply)
• Open igniter while calling for heat
• Open flame sensor
• Open motor switch(Neutral supply)
9Igniter glows - No gas
ignition
If the igniter heats up but the main burner flame is not ignited,
remove power and using an ohmmeter, check the following:
• Open secondary coil
• Open holding coil
• Open wire harness
10 The gas is ignited but
the flame goes out
If a normal ignition takes place and after a short while the flame goes
out, check for the following:
• Poor venting
• Gas coils break down under a load.
• WeakHi-Limit
• Bad drum seals
11
Improper drying
clothes wrinkled
Rough texture long
dry time
• Lint filter is not clean.
• Restriction in exhaust.
• Outside exhaust hood damper door stuck closed.
Exhaust too long, too many elbows, flex ductwork installed.
Poor intake air available for the dryer.
Incorrect tumbler speed. Tumbler belt slipping.
Blower wheel broken, check for foreign material in blower area.
Customer overloading dryer.
Check clothing labels for fabric content and cycle selected.
Clothes too wet due to insufficient spin out by washer.
12 Noisy and/Or
Vibration
Thumping Check for loose tumbler baffle, rear tumbler roller(s)
worn or misaligned, out-of-round tumbler or high weld seam on
tumbler.
Ticking Check for loose wire harness or object caught in blower
wheel area.
Scraping Check for front or rear bulkhead felt seal out of
position or worn tumbler front bearings.
Roaring Check for blower wheel rubbing on blower housing or
bad motor bearings.
Popping or check for idler on squealing sound. Check for a
sticky or frayed belt.
