Section 5 Service Procedures

© Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC – DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the dryer(s) before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer(s) before servicing.
• Never start the dryer(s) with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be 

reconnected to ensure that the dryer is properly grounded.

WARNING

k.

Front Cylinder Seal.

 Refer to 

Figure 32

.

When installing the cylinder seal, it is important 
to remember these two steps:
(1) The stitching on the seal must face towards 

center of dryer.

(2) The short flap must be glued to the 

bulkhead and the long flap left loose.

IMPORTANT: The replacement seal can be 
adhered to the bulkhead using No. 22506P Sealant. 
This is accomplished by applying a bead of sealant 
around the entire flanged area where the felt seal 
contacts the bulkhead.
