TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

- As the micom dry machine is congured of the complicate structure, there might be the

service call.

Below information is prepared for exact trouble diagnosis and suitable repair guide.

Caution for the Repair and Replacement

1) As some electronic components are damaged by the charged static electricity from the resin

part of dryer or the human body, prepare the human body earth or remove the potential

dier ence of the human body and dryer by contacting the power supply plug when the work

contacting to PCB is executed.

2) As the P.C.B assembly is designed for no trouble, do not replace the P.C.B assembly by the

wrong diagnosis and follow the procedure of the trouble diagnosis when the micom is not

operated normally.

ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to dryer before

servicing, unless testing requires power.

Please follow below instruction for the trouble diagnosis and parts replacement.
