TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
- As the micom dry machine is congured 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
dierence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.
ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to dryer before
servicing, unless testing requires power.
Please follow below instruction for the trouble diagnosis and parts replacement.

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.

If the igniter does not heat up, remove power and using an
ohmmeter, check the following:
•Openamesensor
•Openigniter
•Shorted booster coil
•Openwiring
•Badmotorswitch(Neutralsupply)
•Nopowerfromcontrol(L1supply)
9Igniter glows - No gas

If the igniter heats up but the main burner ame is not ignited,
remove power and using an ohmmeter, check the following:
•Opensecondarycoil
•Openholdingcoil
•Openwireharness
•Stuckamesensor(Stuckclosed)
10 The gas is ignited but
the ame goes out
If a normal ignition takes place and after a short while the ame 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
