Trouble
Probable Cause
Solution
Rough dry damp 
patches on sides 
(item 3)
1. Pressing cycle too short.
Increase pressing time.
2. Shirt moisture retention is over 50%.
Reduce moisture retention by increasing extract time or 
speed or by increasing water temperature of final rinse.
3. Shirt moisture retention is under 40%.
Increase moisture retention by decreasing extract time 
or speed or by decreasing water temperature.
4. Improper air bags installed on buck.
Check air pressure gauge on discharge tube when buck 
is in pressing position and blower is on. If air pressure 
gauge does not read between .7 and 1 psi, replace air 
bag using the recommended vendor list in your 
Preventative Maintenance Guide.
5. Operator is over-spraying garment.
Instruct operator to use less water spray.
6. Insufficient temperature at heat exchanger.
Either heat exchanger trap or check valve is faulty and 
needs repair or replacement; or steam pressure to press 
is lower than 115 psi (7.92 bar).
7. Collapsed hoses in blower air system.
Check ALL hoses in blower air system. Check for 
collapsed inner wall by removing hose from machine. 
Straighten hose and look through hose from one end to 
the other.
8. Air leak at discharge tube.
Align discharge tube to meet up with receiving tube.
9. Holes in side air bags.
Replace air bags.
Damp patches 
on front or back 
of garment, OR 
pin wrinkles or 
rough dry spots 
around front 
button strip 
(items 2 and 4)
1. Pressing cycle too short.
Increase pressing time.
2. Shirt moisture retention is over 50%.
Reduce moisture retention by increasing extract time or 
speed or by increasing water temperature of final rinse.
3. Shirt moisture retention is under 40%.
Increase moisture retention by decreasing extract time 
or speed or by decreasing water temperature.
4. Operator is over-spraying garment.
Instruct operator to lessen water spray.
5. Insufficient temperature at either front or 
rear press head.
Check traps and check valves in steam return for 
proper operation. Clean, repair or replace as required. 
Steam pressure to press should be 115 psi (7.92 bar).
6 . Air pressure is low.
Provide 65 psi (4.48 bar) air inlet pressure.
7. Padding has sunken areas or is worn and 
must be replaced.
Replace flannel and/or steel padding.
Rough, dry in 
yoke area 
 
(item 5)
1. Same as Probable Causes 1 through 6 on 
item 3.
Take corrective action.
2. Electric thermostat is set below 350°F 
(178°C).
Set thermostat at 350°F (178°C).
3. Electric heater element or thermostat is 
malfunctioning.
Refer to Service Manual or contact a qualified service
