DRYER FUNCTION

Overview

This is a freestanding tumble dryer with a full width metal door.

The drum is capable of accepting a maximum 8 kg load. The drum is supported at the front by 2

wheels mounted on the front air duct and a single bearing at the rear located in the rear panel. A

shaft fixed to the rear of the drum runs in the rear bearing. The drum is driven by a belt which passes

around its periphery and onto the shaft of a motor secured to the base of the dryer.

The belt is tensioned by a pulley mounted to the motor.

The motor also drives a fan fixed to the end of the rear shaft to recirculate air through the drum.

The drum normally rotates clockwise with the occasional reverse action anticlockwise. This occurs

during the cycles cool down period and for 5 minutes every hour of the cycle duration.

The moisture removed from the recirculating air, by means of a refrigerant module, is pumped to a

removable container mounted in the left hand side of the console. The user can easily withdraw the

container to dispose of the collected condensed water. There is no requirement for venting to

atmosphere on this dryer.

Drying Process

The circulating air flows over the condenser unit causing it to be heated, the air then passes into the

drum via the fan chamber collecting moisture from the clothes enabling them to dry. The moisture

laden air passes through two filters to remove any lint and then passes through the evaporator unit

where the moisture condenses and falls into a channel in the base and flows into the pump reservoir

where it is pumped into the water container. The resulting cooled air aids the cooling of the

refrigerant in the condenser before starting the process again.

Heat Exchange Cycle

The Cycle begins with refrigerant being pumped by the compressor through the condenser unit.

A capillary tube is used to create a restriction to increase the pressure and temperature of the

refrigerant in the condenser, the heat (used to heat the airflow into the dryer) is removed from the

refrigerant converting it from a gas to a liquid.

The liquid refrigerant is then forced through the capillary under pressure into the evaporator unit

where the pressure is removed causing the refrigerant to evaporate into a gas again cooling the

evaporator the refrigerant then returns to the compressor to complete the cycle.

Controls Overview

The user interface controls consist of a Programme selection knob, a Digit display, option buttons;

Start/Pause button and an On/Off button.

The control system consists of a control module, two thermistors and a conductivity sensor.

The conductivity sensor is mounted in the front air duct. A single wire connects the sensor to the

control module. The front thermistor is located in the air duct, and the second thermistor is attached

to the heat exchanger system pipe work.

The control module determines the programme duration and dryness of the load. This is achieved

by the thermistors located in the front air duct and on system pipe work measuring the difference in

temperature / resistance between the two points, the control module then calculates and compares

the values to that of the chosen programme.

As the programme progresses a small DC current is passed from the sensor in the front air through

damp clothes to earth. The resistance of this current is compared to the resistance value of the

chosen programme and when these become equal the load will have reached the required level of

dryness and will then progress through the dry programme and on to the cool down period.

Indesit Company

Service Manual UK English

The control module is located behind the right hand side panel and there is a service port behind the

plinth cover that allows attachment of a computer, Smart Card Reader or Handheld Device to

programme the Control Module.

The control module can be programmed with the relevant settings file if the module is replaced, the

settings file becomes corrupted or if an updated file becomes available.

Each of the sensing programmes has a maximum time of approximately 270 minutes. (Actual time

will vary slightly due to programme selected).

Auto Sensing

After the Automatic cycle has started, the machine’s thermistor and conductivity sensor continually

monitor the dampness of the drying clothes. Once a final dry time has been determined, the display

will update, and the cycle will continue finishing with a 3 minute cool down period. The time taken to

update will vary depending on the Programme set, load and the ambient temperature.

If the display counts down to 3 minutes and the clothes are not at the required dryness level, the

display will hold at 3 minutes, depending on the programme in progress and the material being dried,

the dryer will either wait until the correct dryness level is reached and move to the cool down period,

or wait until the machines sensors are able to recalculate the dryness time and the display will

update accordingly.

If, after the maximum programme time of approximately 270 minutes, the clothes are still not dry,

the programme advances to cool tumble and completes the programme.

Note 1: No fault is indicated if this occurs.

Note 2: The actual time out period will vary slightly depending on the programme and dryness level

set. Under normal drying conditions providing at the start of the cycle the water container is empty,

both filters are clean and the clothes have been spun in a washing machine, the clothes should dry

before the time out period occurs.

The module also controls the compressor. The compressor will start running at the start of the

programme and is on continually during the drying cycle.

If the user turns off the power or disconnects the mains cable or there is a power cut, the dryer will

remember its last settings and resume the programme when the start button is pressed, the

compressor will restart after a 5 minute delay period to allow the system to equalise.

Note: If the compressor is switched off, i.e: Programme paused or the door is opened, the

compressor will have an ’OFF’ time of approximately 5 minutes to allow the pressure in the system

to equalise.

The start of a programme can be delayed up to a maximum of 24 hours programmed in 1 hour steps.

Pre-crease care (see page 11) can only be selected if a timed delay has been selected; this option

tumbles the clothes for 3 seconds every 30 minutes for the duration of the time delay.

If selected, the Post crease care option (see page 11) tumbles the clothes after the programme has

finished for 3 seconds every 4 minutes up to a maximum duration of 10 hours.

Installation

If the machine has been transported or laid over, the machine must NOT be started for

2 hours to allow any displaced oil in the system to resettle.

Ventilation

The machine must be installed so it has a minimum air gap of

15mm along each side and 10mm at the top. The machine's rear

air vents must not be blocked.

The machine should be installed on a level surface away from

any appliance which produces flames. i.e: a Gas Hob or Gas

Fire.

Levelling the Tumble Dryer

This dryer must be level for correct

operation.

When the dryer is installed in its final

location check that it is level first side-to-

side, then front to back.

If the dryer is not level, adjust the feet up

or down until the dryer is level.

Rotate the feet to adjust the height.

Water Drain - Plumbing Out

If the Dryer is positioned close to a drain or standpipe, it is possible to

drain the condensed water directly without using the water bottle.

In this case it is no longer necessary to empty the water bottle at the

end of each cycle.

lf the Dryer is positioned above or close to a Washing Machine which

uses a standpipe the same standpipe can be used.

Just disconnect the tube indicated in Figure A and connect it to the

drain.

If the standpipe / drain is further away than the length of the tube it is

possible to buy and connect a tube of the same diameter and the

necessary length in order to reach the standpipe.

To install the new tube just substitute the existing one as indicated in

Figure B inserting it in the same place.

Important Notes:

- The top of the standpipe must be below 1 metre from the bottom of

the Dryer.

- Once the Dryer has been installed, ensure that the drain tube is not

bent, squashed or contorted.
