P. LINT DRAWER SWITCH
The lint drawer switch is located in the lint compartment and attached to the
side of the lint drawer track. The lint drawer switch insures that the dryer will
operate only when the lint drawer is completely closed. This is a safety device
and should never be disabled.
Q. STEAM DAMPER SYSTEM
The newest type system is called the steam
damper. It is shown to the right and it uses a
piston with compressed air to open and close the
steam damper which in turn allows the air to flow
either through the coil for heat, or under the coil
for cool down. Air supply is 80 PSI +/- 10 PSI
(5.51 bars +/- 0.69 bars).
R. COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS
The model ML-170 requires an external supply of air (2.5
cfm @ 80 PSI [0.07 cmm @ 5.51 bars]) on the steam
models the air is necessary to operate the damper system.
On both steam, as well as the gas model, the air is
necessary/required for the blower air jet operation...to
clean lint from the impellor/fan (squirrel cage type).
S. TEMPERATURE SENSOR BRACKET
(NON-COMPUTER)
The non-computer temperature sensor bracket consists of four
(4) thermostats. Three (3) of them are the certain temperatures
that the machine should cycle on and off at. The fourth one is
the 225º F (107º C), safety tumbler (basket) hi-limit that should
only react when it sensors an over heat condition exceeding
225º F (107º C).
