Air is blown over the Heating Element by the Blower assembly
Heated Air passes the operating thermistor and through the tub
Moist Warm Air enters the return air duct
Air Temperature Difference is sensed by the Top & Bottom Thermistors
This is used during Sensor Dry
Water Inlet Valve is energized approx. on 30 seconds off 15 seconds when
the sensor temp is near same. Valve is energized for longer periods at the
beginning of the dry cycle
Water COOLS the return duct causing moisture in the air to condense
Drain Pump is energized every 30 seconds, approx. 10 seconds, pumping
approx. 4 oz. of water
Estimating a 3 hour drying cycle = 8 oz. every minute = 10 gallons of water
