Electric heated dryers

Description

Fig. 1 The electric heating unit is located at
the top of the dryer behind back plate A.
The air is drawn through the louvres on the
back plate and into the heating unit.
The heated air passes through the garments
and the drum vents.
Fig. 2 Then the air flows from the perforation
through the filter and via the outlet to the open
air.
The heating element is switched on by
the heating contactor K4 and K5, which is
controlled by
the Selecta Control.

Overheating thermostats

Also see section Sensors and overheating
thermostats.
Electric heated dryers are equipped with three
overheating thermostats connected in series,
two in the inlet and one in the outlet.
In the event of overheating, the dryer stops
and E08 flashes in the display.
Reset must be done manually but first the
error must be detected and the switched
off overheating thermostat must be found,
see section Sensors and overheating
thermostats.
This error is often caused by reduction of the
air circulation in the dryer due to not enough
air in the room or due to the dryer being
overloaded.
If the dryer is also stopped before the cool
down function has started the after-heat can
cause the overheating thermostats to switch
off.
The following error code is related to this
section:
