AUTOMATIC DRYER CONTROL
In this system a single-pole, double-throw thermostat is connected
to the dryer timer motor and the heat source. With this arrangement, one
or the other of the dryer components is energized, but never both at the
same time; when the heat source is off, the dryer timer motor is on, and
vice versa. By using a short-duration timer in conjunction junction
with the dryer thermostat, a time/temperature relationship is automatically
established. It works like this: The dryer thermostat, which senses the
temperature of the exhaust air, turns off the heating element or
burner upon start-up. The timer motor is off, and the timer not
advances. The clothing is very damp al this point, entering the
drum from the heat source absorbs a great deal of moisture. Because
of the evaporative process, the temperature remains fairly cool
and temperature rise is rather low. If the dryer now shuts down
with the proper little sensor is shorted or grounded. Look for clips,
or wire strands across the "feelers," or for a break in
the insulating, material If the dryer continues to run, the problem
is most likely within the control. You may use your VOM to check
further by testing the timer contacts or the relay. Stuck timer
or relay contacts prevent the dryer from turning off. Open or high-resistance
contacts prevent the dryer from running. If these components test
okay, your problem definitely is in the control area. Before condemning
the control, however, check to see that a positive ground is provided
by a wire attached from the cabinet to the cold-water line. Since
the critical control current is fed to ground, this wire must be
provided in addition to the cabinet ground provided to file neutral
line of the power supply, used in most areas. While a ground to
a water line is acceptable for safety purposes, it is not sufficient
to allow proper operation of electronic controls.
DRYER THERMOSTATS
Thermostats are also of great importance in determining the dryer temperature
relationship, vital for good results in drying clothes. Those which
control the operating temperature are referred to as operating thermostats,
to distinguish from high-limit thermostats, used as safety devices
to prevent severe overheating. Many operating dryer thermostats are adjustable
ones, controlled by the user when setting the heat range or temperature
control. Typically, they consist liquid or gas filled thermal bulb,
connecting capillary tubing, a closed expandable diaphragm, switch
contacts, and a control screw. The thermal bulb is normally located
in the exhaust air stream. As temperature rises, the liquid in the
sealed bulb vaporizes, exerting pressure in the diaphragm at the
opposite end of the capillary tube connecting the two components.
Pressure causes the diaphragm to expand, and the resulting movement
opens the switch contacts, breaking the electrical circuit to the
heat source. As the exhaust air cools, the diaphragm contracts and
again closes the switch, resuming heat input. This cycling action,
which maintains desired temperatures, may occur many times during
a drying period. The "temperature" knob on the dryer turns
the control screw, which places spring tension against the diaphragm,
thus varying the amount of pressure required to activate the switch
contacts and raise or lower temperature levels.
If your dryer has no control knob with which you adjust the temperature,
it likely uses fixed bimetallic thermostats. The dryer fixed-temperature
thermostat is also often used as high-limit or safety device. Wired
in series with the heat source, it is located on the housing of
the heating element or burner. Fan-belt breakage, blockage of air
flow, or any other condition that could contribute to overheating
causes the high-limit device to open, breaking the electrical circuit
to the heat source. This keeps the dryer heat at a safe level.
