    Our Baldwin IR dryer developed a "Waterflow" error recently.
    Thinking this was just a case of topping up, we attempted the refill as per the manual, around 4 times.

    We still have the problem, the system will activate and then shutdown after around 20 seconds

    It seems that we may have either a blockage or a switch has failed.

    Any thoughts would be helpful.

    Hi sir:

    Please follow this Steps:
    • No or low water in system - check for leaks
    • Water pump failure
    • Cooling system ball valve in wrong position
    • Contactor K2 failure
    • Water flow switch failure
    • Controller board failure

    In order to ensure cooling of the IR-drying head, the heat exchanger should be cleaned once a month.

    This can be done using a vacuum cleaner and compressed air.

    Be careful not to damage the heat exchanger fins.
