Axial air tumblers commonly use a motor to rotate the basket. Another is used to operate a blower fan. This is what moves fresh air through the burner box. It also moves it through the basket and laundry. Once this cycle is complete, it then moves air back out to the exhaust. Let's take a look at some maintenance tips. If you need reliable Speed Queen commercial laundry equipment distributors in NC, be sure to call T & L Laundry Equipment.
The blower fan can accumulate lint and dust over time. At times, other foreign items may become an issue. These things will make the high-speed fan run out of balance. For example, this is much like a ceiling fan or wheels and tires on your car. If they are out of balance, they won't work correctly. This too can become an issue for tumblers.
Mildly out of balance situations cause the drying tumbler to seem like it is old or outdated and can cause a vibrating noise that is very loud. To the operator, it will seem like a major incident is occurring and that it should be replaced immediately. In reality, the blower fan blade just needs a little TLC from T & L! Call us to learn more about scheduling an appointment for balancing services. We can simply clean the blower fan blade assembly.
We will do this in the following way. You might also consider doing this on your own, if you feel comfortable. Just know that T & L is here to help you whenever you need it.
First, the tumbler must be turned off at the power source to avoid a customer on the other side of the unit starting it when you have your hand in the fan blade area. There is an access panel on the exterior of the exhaust area of the dryer. There will be two access panels if it is a stacked tumbler or one for each blower fan. When you open the panel the blower fan blade can be seen and is cleanable with your fingers or a small brush. You could also use a vacuum. It's not imperative that the cleaned blower fan be shiny clean. However, clumps of lint that can be seen should be brushed or picked off. This will leave smoothing out dryer operation very easy.
