WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death; disconnect power to dryer before
servicing, unless testing requires power.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
- As the micom dry machine is configured 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
Please follow below instruction for the trouble diagnosis and parts 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
differ 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.
