Put it into a test mode by doing this this should correct itself.

Function test sequence

This is a functional test for the dryer. To activate this

mode, perform the following steps:

1. Turn the cycle selector knob to the 12 O'clock

position.

2. Press and hold the Select and Pause Cancel buttons

simultaneously for (6) seconds.

3. Immediately after, press and hold the Pause Cancel

and START buttons for (4) seconds.

The control will enter the test mode, the buzzer will sound

3 times and all LEDs will rapidly flash.

After entering the test mode, the selector can now be

rotated to select the following test.

12 O'clock All LEDs will flash.

1 O'clock Drive motor runs, heat source is on.

Drying LED is lit. "H" and the control

thermistor reading will toggle back and

forth in the display. **

2 O'clock Drive motor runs; heat source is off. Cool

Down LED is lit and "AF" (Air Fluff) is

displayed.

3 O'clock Drive motor runs; heat source is off.

Drying and Cool Down LEDs are lit and

numbers appear in the display showing

moisture sensor readings. Open the

door and press in on door switch plunger.

Placing a finger on both moisture

sensor bars at the same time will make

the numbers decrease. In controls that

do not have a digit display, the More

Dry LED should be ON. Open the door

and press in on door switch plunger.

Placing a finger on both moisture

sensor bars at the same time will make

the Damp LED come on.

4 O'clock Drive motor runs; heat source is off.

Key test:

a. When the Temp key is pressed, all

the Temp LEDs should light. If the

Temp selector is the rotary knob, and

the knob is rotated, there should be

a key beep with each setting.

QUICK REFERENCE SHEET

b. When the DRYNESS key is pressed,

all the dryness level LEDs should

light.

c. When the OPTIONS or Select key

is pressed, all the options LEDs

should light.

d. When the START key is pressed, all

the cycle status LEDs should light.

e. When the Pause Cancel key is

pressed, all the cycle status LEDs

should light.

5 O'clock Drive motor runs; heat source is off. Cool

Down LED is lit. Control thermistor read

ing is displayed.**

6 O'clock Drive motor runs; heat source is on.

Drying LED is lit. Control thermistor

reading is displayed.**

**For models that do not have a digital display, the

dryness LEDs are used to determine the control

thermistor reading. The number of flashes of the bottom

three LEDs will determine the value of the temperature

as follows.

NORMAL = HUNDRED'S

LESS DRY = TEN'S

DAMP = ONE'S

Example: Normal flashes 1 time

Less Dry flashes 2 times

Damp flashes 6 times

Temperature = 126 degrees.

To EXIT test mode, press and hold the Select and Pause

Cancel buttons simultaneously for six seconds or

disconnect power from dryer. Dryer will be reset for regular

operation.
