T 15xx Dryers
The fan motor (Figure 4-3, Item 4) is a bi-directional 120VAC motor. Directional
switching for the motor is performed within the power electronic. Assistance to
the motor during startup is provided by the motor start capacitor (Item 3).
The fan motor provides drive to the drum via a drive belt and reduction pulley
(Item 1) mounted on the motor bracket (Item 2).
The fan motor also provides direct drive to the fan impeller (Item 6) within the fan
housing (Item 7). As the fan impeller rotates, airflow is created and draws heated
air from the heater bank, across the drum and through the filter(s). The air exiting
the fan housing is routed to the vent system (or through the heat exchanger on
condenser dryers).

Residual Moisture Setting

There are two variables that determine dryer run time: initial moisture content in
the laundry and the program selected.
At the beginning of the cycle, the moisture content within the laundry is measured
by the residual moisture sensor. This value is used by the electronic to calculate
the approximate program duration.
During drying, the level of moisture within the laundry decreases and is reflected
by the status of the drying-stage LEDs. When the moisture within the laundry
reaches the selected program value the dryer enters the cooldown phase,
followed by the anti-crease mode.
Important!
The electronic limits all moisture-sensing programs to a maximum duration
of 240 minutes. Should 240 minutes be reached, the cooldown phase is
initiated; however, the anti-crease feature is skipped when this occurs.
The “"Cooling down”" LED remains illuminated until the appliance is shut off
via the on/off button.
