All dryer or parts warranty claims or inquiries should be
addressed to the Warranty Parts Department. To expedite
processing, the following procedures must be followed:
No parts are to be returned without prior written authorization
(R.M.A.) from the factory.
NOTE: An R.M.A. is valid for only 30 days from date of
issue.
The R.M.A. issued by the factory, as well as any other
correspondence pertaining to the returned part(s), must be
included inside the package with the failed component.
Each part must be tagged with the following information:
Model number and serial number of the dryer from which
part was removed.
Nature of failure (be specific).
Date of dryer installation.
Date of part failure.
Specify whether the part(s) being returned is for a
replacement, a credit, or a refund.
NOTE: If a part is marked for a credit or a refund, the
invoice number covering the purchase of the replacement
part must be provided.
Warranty tags (P/N 450064) are available at “no charge”
from ADC upon request.
The company returning the part(s) must clearly note the
complete company name and address on the outside of the

All returns must be properly packaged to ensure that they
are not damaged in transit. Damage claims are the
responsibility of the shipper.
IMPORTANT: No replacements, credits, or refunds will be
issued for merchandise damaged in transit.
All returns should be shipped to the ADC factory in such a
manner that they are insured and a proof of delivery can be
obtained by the sender.
Shipping charges are not the responsibility of ADC. All returns
should be “prepaid” to the factory. Any “C.O.D.” or
“COLLECT” returns will not be accepted.
IMPORTANT: No replacements, credits, or refunds will be
issued if the claim cannot be processed due to insufficient
information. The party filing the claim will be notified in
writing, either by “FAX” or “CERTIFIED MAIL – Return
Receipt Requested,” as to the information necessary to

Department within 30 days from the FAX/letter date, then

Routine Maintenance ________________
Cleaning
A program and/or schedule should be established for periodic
inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various areas
of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system. The
frequency of cleaning can best be determined from
experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency
is dependent upon proper air circulation. The accumulation
of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section
are met, an ADC dryer will provide many years of efficient,
trouble free, and most importantly, safe operation.
!
WARNING
Lint from most fabrics is highly combustible. The
accumulation of lint can create a potential fire hazard.
Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average
usage, which is considered six to eight operational
(running) hours per day.
IMPORTANT: Dryers produce combustible lint and must be
exhausted to the outdoors. Every six months, inspect the
exhaust ducting and remove any lint buildup.
Suggested Cleaning Schedule
Every Third or Fourth Load
Clean the lint drawer screen every third or fourth load. A
clogged lint screen will cause poor dryer performance.
Inspect the lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE: The frequency of cleaning the lint screen can best
be determined from experience at each location.
Weekly
Clean lint accumulation from the lint chamber, thermostat,
and microprocessor temperature sensor (sensor bracket)
area.
!
WARNING
To avoid the hazard of electrical shock, discontinue
electrical supply to the dryer.
90 Days
Remove lint from around tumbler, drive motor, and
surrounding areas.
Remove lint from the gas valve burner area with a dusting
brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.
Clean any lint accumulation in and around both the blower
and drive motor casing openings.
NOTE: To prevent damage, avoid cleaning and/or touching
ignitor/flame-probe assembly.
