Section 7 Test Procedures
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
61. HEATER ASSEMBLY (ELECTRIC
MODELS)
a. While supporting the access panel, remove two
screws from bottom edge of access panel. See
Figure 5.
b. Gently lower the access panel to disengage
locators from bottom edge of front panel. See
Figure 12.
c. Disconnect wires from heater assembly. See
NOTE: Refer to wiring diagram when rewiring
heater assembly.
d. Set meter to read Ohms. Apply meter probes to
the heater wire terminals. Meter should read as
follows: (Cold Ohms). See Figure 15.
62. CYCLING OR LIMIT THERMOSTAT
a. While supporting the access panel, remove two
screws from bottom edge of access panel. See
Figure 5.
b. Gently lower the access panel to disengage
locators from bottom edge of front panel. See
Figure 12.
c. Label and disconnect wires from thermostat.
NOTE: Refer to wiring diagram when rewiring
thermostat.
Cycling Thermostat (S.P.S.T. – 2 Terminals) or
Limit Thermostat
(1.) Set meter to read Ohms.
(2.) Apply meter probes to the thermostat
terminals.
(3.) Meter should read “zero”.
Cycling Thermostat (S.P.D.T. – 3 Terminals)
(1.) Set meter to read Ohms.
(2.) Apply meter probes to terminals 1 and 3.
Meter should read “zero”.
(3.) Remove screws holding thermostat to
exhaust fan cover.
(4.) Heat thermostat with a small flame until a
distinct “click” is heard, then immediately
apply meter probes to terminals 1 and 2.
Meter should read “zero”.
63. THERMOSTAT HEATER
a. While supporting the access panel, remove two
screws from bottom edge of access panel. See
Figure 5.
b. Gently lower the access panel to disengage
locators from bottom edge of front panel. See
Figure 12.
c. Label and disconnect wires from the
thermostat/heater. See Figure 16.
NOTE: Refer to wiring diagram when rewiring
thermostat heater.
d. Set meter to read Ohms. Apply meter probes to
the thermostat heater terminals. Meter should
