Abstract
A clothes dryer has a test button for testing the fire suppression system of the dryer. The test button is connected to the temperature sensor of the fire suppression system such that when the test button is actuated it presents a signal, such as by shorting the two leads of the temperature sensor together, to simulate the condition of the temperature sensor sensing a high temperature. This triggers the control circuit of the fire suppression system to turn on a water valve to activate the sprinkler system. The fire suppression system is then reset by actuating a reset button.
