MACHINE FUNCTION
Cold air is drawn into the dryer cabinet interior through AIRFLOW DIAGRAM
louvres in the cabinet base, passes through the large hole in
the inner back panel adjacent to the fan and is driven through
the element housing on the inner back panel.
After passing through the element windings and through
holes in the drum back plate into the drum interior, the now
warm air is driven through the load to the front of the drum.

A webbing seal, fixed to the inside of the inner back panel,

prevents warm air being driven into the cabinet interior.

As the drum revolves, the load is tumbled through the warm

air stream, that extracts moisture from the damp fabric.
The now moist and cooled air passes through the filter in the
air duct on the back of the front panel, where any fluff picked
up from the load is removed.
The air then travels through the front to rear air duct, leaving
the dryer at the rear outlet.

If required, a vent hose may be attached to the outlet, to take

exhaust air away from the dryer.

A cut-out on the element housing, cuts the electricity Live supply to the element, if the air temperature
in the housing becomes too high due to a restriction in the air flow, e.g a blocked filter. The cut-out
automatically resets when the air temperature drops to an acceptable level and cycles if the fault
persists.
A second 'one shot' cut-out, mounted alongside the 'auto reset' cut-out, is fitted as a safety device to
break the element Neutral connection, if the air temperature reaches an unsafe level due to failure of
the 'auto reset' cut-out.
There are two thermostats in the front air duct when only one is in use at any one time depending on
which programme is selected. These sense the exhaust temperature rise when the load becomes dry
and energise the timer motor on the main timer. This allows it to advance to cool run.
AUTOMATIC DRYING
To work correctly High Heat has to be enabled and between 3 Kg to 6 Kg of Cottons dried. If smaller or
delicate loads are dried using the automatic setting, erratic results will be achieved.

Automatic Drying Explanation

NOTE: - The heat switch must be set to the high position otherwise there will be no circuit to the timer
motor or heater when the exhaust thermostat signals that the clothes are dry.

Sequence of Automatic Drying System

• First 20 minutes, full heat controlled by the timer. This is to pre-heat the clothes and drum before
the exhaust thermostats take control.
• The timer moves to its next cam position. The timer motor is now disconnected and the dryer
tumbles and heats.
• When the clothes are dry, the exhaust thermostat opens. This provides a Live supply to the timer
motor. The timer moves to the next cam position.
• 5 minutes of tumbling with the lower element only. The timer moves to the next cam position.
• Finally 7.5 minutes of tumble with no heat.

Easy Iron Program

Easy Iron is a short 10 minute program (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute Air Fluff period) which fluffs the
fibers of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle relaxes
the fibers and makes them easier to iron and fold.
! Easy Iron is not a drying program and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.

For best results:

1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity.
These numbers refer to the dry weight:
Fabric Maximum load
Regular Cotton and Regular Cotton mix 5.5 lb / 2.5 kg
P e rma ne nt P re s s 4 lb / 2 k g
D e nim 4 lb / 2 k g

2. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the program, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away.
Should this not be possible, repeat the program.

The Easy Iron effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works very well on traditional fabrics like Regular Cottons
or Regular Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibers.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
CONSOLE PANEL
This panel contains the user controls, which consist of a timer knob, for selecting the timed and sensed
drying periods and a push switch for heat selection.

TIMER
The timer system is made up from two timers, one mounted on the console and one in the base of the
machine.
Timer 1 controls the motor and heater. This has a spindle to which a knob is attached to enable the user
to select the required programme. Timer 2 controls the motor reversing; this is mounted on the kickstrip.
The dryer must be set to the high heat position for the Eco drying system to operate failure to do so will
cause the timer to advance to cool run without drying the load.

Timer 1 - Programme Timer

Mounted on the console, the timer is used to control the motor and heating during the drying
programmes. The timer incorporates a timed cycle with 170 minutes of heated drying followed by a 7.5
minute cool run.
One ’Eco' programme is incorporated with an automatic programme to provide heated drying until a
thermostat operates (when the load is dry), the timer then advances to a 7.5 minute cool run.
The cam of this timer is held on the heated part of the cycle by cutting the circuit to its motor.
The dryer motor continues to be reversed by timer 2. When the load is dry, a thermostat in the front duct
of the dryer operates which powers the motor of timer 1 and this allows the timer to advance to
cool run. Timer 2 reverses the motor direction approximately every 2.5 minutes.
An optional crease removal programme is provided, which consists of 7.5 minutes of heat and motor
followed by a cool tumble period of 2.5 minutes.

Timer 2 - Reversing Timer

Mounted on the base panel, the timer is used to control the reversal of the motor during the drying
programmes. The timer reverses the motor direction every 2.5 minutes.

HEAT SWITCH
Normally open push-push switch. The switch locates into the facia moulding and it allows the user to
choose high or low heat settings. By consulting the wiring diagram, it can be seen that by operating this
switch, either all or half of the heater unit is selected.
For full heat switch is in the IN position and low heat in the OUT position.
High heat must be selected for the auto-drying programmes to operate, if low heat is selected the dryer
will advance to cool run without drying the load.

DOOR
A plastic moulded chassis with a glass bowl retained by plastic mouldings.

Switch blade lever

Door Open - Dryer Off

Trying to turn the machine on with the door open, the solenoid is unable to operate the bistable cam to
close the contacts, because it is locked by the latch.
Door Closed - Dryer Off
Closing the door, the latch (now rotated by the door hook) allows the movement of the bistable cam, but
the dryer is still OFF until the solenoid is energised.
Door Closed - Dryer On
Turning the machine on with the dryer door closed, the solenoid pushes the bistable cam (freed by the
latch) allowing the closing of the contacts.
Door Opened During Drying
When the door is opened during drying, the dryer will turn off automatically by the latch in its back
rotation, this pushes back the bistable cam towards the solenoid, opening the contacts.
Re-closing the door will not restart the machine until the machine is turned back on.
Safety Function
If the latch is accidentally rotated by the customer with the door open, the machine will not start. Without
the latch in position, the latch rotates 30% further and sets the bistable cam in its safety position. The
safety position will not allow the machine to start. The door will need to be manually repositioned to reset
by a Service Engineer.

DRUM
The drum comprises of a stainless steel wrapper with a zinc-coated front and rear body and two
removable plastic lifters. The rear of the drum is perforated to allow the passage of air. Fixed to the rear
pressing is a support shaft, which runs in a bearing located in the rear panel of the dryer.
A drive pin and collar on the drum shaft prevents forward thrust during use. The large front flanged
aperture rotates on bearing pads.

HEATER ELEMENT
The element comprises of front and rear pressings spaced apart with Mica type insulating material.
Through the insulating pieces are 4 runs of coiled resistance wire supported from end to end by
insulating material. High temperature insulated wires are crimped to the ends of the resistance strips to
complete the circuit.
Note: Heater assemblies manufactured by Blasi and DBK are interchangeable if replaced as an
assembly. Both types are used in production. The service replacement type is a DBK heater.
The thermostats are NOT interchangeable - DBK uses a 120°C, and Blasi uses a 106°C device.
The correct thermostat kit MUST ALWAYS be fitted - depending on the heater fitted.
The heaters can be identified by the appearance of the indentations in the rear cover - refer to the
photos below.

Blasi Heater Cover - with 2 pips DBK Heater Cover - with 4 pips

SAFETY CUT-OUT (BLUE SPOT)

This device is a disc type thermostat set to operate at 150°C it is used as a safety device. It is positioned
above the element, to the right of the cycling thermostat on the element housing. If this device fails it
cannot be reset.
IF THIS DEVICE OPERATES, IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE REPLACED TOGETHER WITH THE
CYCLING THERMOSTAT (see next paragraph).

CYCLING THERMOSTAT
The cycling thermostat is mounted adjacent to the safety cut-out, is designed to open at 120°C (DBK)
or 106°C (Blasi). It limits the temperature of the heat entering the drum.

ECO THERMOSTATS
These are of self-resetting closed disc construction, mounted in the front air duct. They control the timer
motor on timer 1. When the load is dry, the selected thermostat operates and powers the timer motor;
this allows the timer to advance to cool run. The Full load thermostat (E) is designed to open at 55°C
and the half load (e) is designed to open at 60°C.

MOTOR
A two pole P.S.C running at 2800 rpm with the impeller fitted to the rear end of the shaft and the drive
belt running directly in grooves in the front end of the shaft. It is protected from overload by a
self-resetting internal cut-out which interrupts the electrical supply to the windings.
It is used together with a capacitor that is mounted on the base of the dryer.

DRUM REAR SEAL

This unit comprises of a ring of foam with a webbing bearing face. Lubrication is applied to the drum
where the webbing surface runs, to reduce noise and wear. The seal reduces air losses at the rear of
the drum. The joints in the foam are sealed with glue and the joints in the webbing are stitched to further
reduce air leakage.

DRUM EARTH
The earthing on the drum is achieved by the teardrop shaped bearing fixing screw.
Note: To maintain the drum earthing the correct screw must always be used.

BELT
A 9 rib belt has been used in production. The length stamped on the belt is 1860 mm. This is the fitted
length. Prior to fitting, the length is approximately 1805 mm.

Over the years of running a mobile RV repair service, having a dedicated place
to access service manuals for all the different appliances and components
found on RVs was something that I always had a desire to create.
I hope this resource makes your RV repairs easier, as it has mine, but please
be careful and follow proper safety practices when attempting to repair
your own RV.
If in doubt, please consult with a professional RV technician!
