CORRECTIVE ACTION

Ensure the breaker supplying the dryer is operational. If it is,
disconnect the power and remove the dryer cover.
Taking suitable precautions to avoid shock hazard, reconnect the
power and check for voltage at the terminal block.
If there is power and the dryer will not run, replace the Electric
Circuit Board (large one) and/or Microcomputer Board (Middle
one) and/or Sensor Board. Turn the blower wheel several times by
hand to establish if it is blocked
Ensure that there is no obstruction on or in front of the infrared
sensor. Clean any dirt off the sensor lens.
Try adjusting the sensitivity potentiometer on Microcomputer
Board (Blue knob). Turn anti-clockwise to decrease the sensor
range.
If the problem persists, replace the Microcomputer Board and/or
Sensor Board
Disconnect the power. Remove the dryer cover and check for
obstructions in the fan housing. Damaged fans must be replaced. If
there are no obstructions, replace the motor or brushes
Disconnect the power. Remove the dryer cover and check the fan
for rubbing on the housing as its rotates. Replace fan if the
condition exists.

heat on/off switch is switched to on. Check loose and damaged
wires. Remove the blower housing.

appear damaged, disconnect it at the Electric Board and check
element wire continuity. Please check thermostat on the heating
element at the same time.
