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
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
difference of the human body and dryer by contacting the power supply plug when the work
contacting to PCB is executed.
2) As the P.C.B assembly is designed for no trouble, do not replace the P.C.B assembly by the
wrong diagnosis and follow the procedure of the trouble diagnosis when the micom is not
operated normally.
Please follow below instruction for the trouble diagnosis and parts replacement.

No Problem What To Do
1Will Not Start or Run
• All wires are hooked up to their corresponding terminals.
• 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.
4Blows fuses or trips
circuit breaker
• 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 (Gas
Model)
• During ignition the dryer will draw X amps. With the burner ON, the
dryer will draw X amps. If the dryer is drawing amperages above this,
then the house wiring, fuse box or circuit breaker is suspected to be
at fault.
• 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.
• Hi-Limit trips easily or is open.
• Regulating thermostat trips easily or is open.
• Membrane switch open.
• Check Thermistor.

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:

No Problem What To Do
8The igniter does not
glow
If the igniter does not heat up, remove power and using an ohmmeter,
check the following:
• Open flame sensor
• Open igniter
• Shorted booster coil
• Open wiring
• Bad motor switch ( Neutral supply)
• No power from control ( L1 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
• Stuck flame sensor (Stuck closed)
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:
• Radiant sensor contacts opening prematurely.
• Weak gas valve coil may open when stressed by higher Temps.
• Weak Hi-Limit
• Poor venting
• 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 impeller bound; 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 squealing sound. Check for a sticky or frayed belt.
