PORTABLEDRYER
I. GENERAL
This is a portable electric dryer designed to oPerate efficiently on
I20 volts, 60 hertz.
It is equipped with a Ehree-wire cord for use in a grounded receptacle.
THE UNTT MUST BE GROUNDED!
Although noE necessary for operation, it would be advantageous, as with
any dryer, to vent this unit to the outside whenever and wherever
possible for maximum
efficiency. (See specification section).
The reset button must be pushed to re-start the dryer each time the
door is opened and closed.
The rear panel must be rercved for urost servicing except to re-position
a displaced drive belt, or idler pulley and spring.
The timer controls drying time. Ttte brown area of the dial is heat,
except the last 7 minutes of the cycle, which is a cool-down period.
The orange area of the dial is air (no heat) only.
the unit will not run with the door oPen. l{hen the door is closed,
it pushes in the switch shaft (Pig. I), however, the door switch is
not yet activated.
When the reset button is
depressed, it turns the
switch shaft to activate
the door switch.
Drying tsime depends on size
and type of load, suffi-
cient voltage, and an
adequate air supply, both
intake and exhaust.
For efficient operation,
the dryer should be
operated on a circuit of
its own, and extension
cords or other similar
devices should not be used.

FIG. 2
When the motor is energized, the drum rotaCes and the blower starts.
Air is drawn in through the rear panel rouvers, top and bottom, across
the heating elerent and into the drum. All air must then pass through
the lint filter, down and out the exhaust duct.
NCIE: A clogged lint filter or exhaust system will decrease air flow
and increase drying time. The filter should be cleaned after each load
is dried.

DISASSEMBLY
BE SURE
THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED
A. Rear Panel Assembly
The rear panel assembly includes fan housing, cycling thermostat,
rear drum bearings, felt seal, hole plugs, ground strap, attachment
cord and exhaust deflector'
The rear panel secures the drum in position, therefore, when the
panel is removed, the drum is loose.

To Remove
Lay the dryer on its front. Be sure to block the top edge
with a block of wood or box to prevent damage to the timer knob.
Remove the fourbeen (f4) L" hex head screws which secure the
panel to the shell. NOTE: A grounding washer is under one screr".
Be sure this washer is replaced and under the same screw. This
washer insures continuity between the sheII and grounded rear
panel.

Ground StraP
The Ground strap is located in the rear duct. It bleeds off any
static charge in the drum. If the spring tension is gone or
the blade is worn, replace the ground strap using blind rivets.
Lr:bricate the strap with a light coat of specified silicone grease
prior to re-assenbly.
Attachment Cord
If the cord must be replaced, the multiple connector will have to
be removed and the ground wire disconnected frorn inside of the
rear panel.
The cord wires lock into the multiple connector and if forced out,
destroy the lock, creating an electrical hazard.
Therefore, when replacing wires in the multiple connector, cut
the connector at every wire to free the terminals. Use a nehr
connector. Use a good crimp on any terminal replaced. Push the
terminal into the connector and it will lock into position.
Felt Heat Seal
Grasp at any point and work seal off. The seal is held by an
adhesive around the entire mounting surface. Wtrenreplacing seal,
clean off all old adhesive and then attach new seal with 3M-1300.
Therrnostat
This section covers both the control thermostat located in the
fan housing and hi-limit thermostat located on top of the heat
shroud.
The hi-Iimit thermostat is rated at 2000. The cycling thermostat
is rated at 1250. The rating is stanped on the thermostat for
indentification.
ftre hi-Iimit thermostat will open with the failure of the cycling
thermostat or any interruption of air flow such as a lint clog'
broken fan or worn felt seals. lltre cycling thermostat controls the
drying temperature in the drun.
Testing
The thermostats cannot be electrically tested with the unit
running. If the heat cycle will not operate' a test can be
taken with an ohm meter across the terminals. A complete

circuit tends to indicate a good thermostat electrically.
Hovtever, after attaching ohm meter leads to the thermostat
terminals, the terminaLs should be moved to check for inter-
mittent contact. If the condition of the thermostat is
questionable, after testing, it should be replaced.
In addition to a continuity test, the operating temperature
may have to be checked.
A temperature test can be made i.lith a stem thermometer in the
lower plug hole or an oven thermometer in the rear exhaust
duct. The temperature will vary from l5Oo to ltOo on cycles.
This would verify the cycling thermostat.
After the cycling therrostat is verified, the hi-linit
thermostat can be checked in the same method by jumping
the cycling therrnstat.
Another test of the hi-Iimit therrnostat is to run the unit
with the door open and the door switch depressed. If the
hi-Iimit thermostat cuts out the heat circuit, it is
serving its purpose.
Thermostats are subject to temperature variance, therefore,
a temperature test rnay be required to verify normal operation.
5. Molded Fan Housing
Secured by eight 5,/L6" hex head screws located on the outside of
the rear panel. NOTE: One hole plug will have to be removed
from the rear ducF6 make one screvt accessible.
6. Drum Bearings
This section covers replacement of both front and rear drum bearings
located in the heat shroud and rear duct, respectively.
NOTE: Lubrication for drum bearings is applied to the drum
G-nges before re-installing it into the unit.
1. Clean aII existing grease from the front and rear drum flanges.
2. Clean flanges with fine grade (250-400) emery cloth or sandpaper
to insure they are free of foreign matter, then wipe clean.
3. Be sure inside of drum is clean.
4. Apply a thin coat of Silicone Grease (GE G-34I-M) to each drum
flange.

To replace bearings:
I. Remove
the bearing(s) to be replaced from the flange.
2. Removeall old adhesive and felt from the flange with a
non-flammable solvent. Be sure the flange surface is
clean and drv.
3. Use 3I"t
#847 Adhesive to attach new bearing blocks to the
flanges.
4. Apply a thin coat of adhesive to the entire felt surface
of the bearing where it contacts the flange.
Rear: Install blocks on flange of the rear panel, flush
dff,- tne inside edge. A 4" wide putty knife or metal lrlate can
be used as a guide to assure that the bearing blocks are
motrnted flush.

FTG. 6
Position one block in upper centre^of rear duct, and two (2')
blocks in lower half on centre, 45" off of bottom centre. To
determine this, place one block (no adhesive) on bottom centre,
then mark the flange approximately l" from each end of this block.
These marks are the position of the bottom edges of the two (2)
lower blocks when installed.
