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
67. IGNITER CHECK – SILICON NITRATE
IGNITION
a. While supporting the access panel, remove two
screws from bottom edge of access panel. See
Figure 7.
b. Gently lower the access panel to disengage
locators from bottom edge of front panel. See
Figure 7.
c. Disconnect igniter wires at disconnect block.
d. Set test meter to read Ohms and put meter
probes on terminals 1 and 3 of igniter
disconnect block. See Figure 67.
e. Silicon Nitrate Igniter – meter should read
between 49-88 Ohms. If meter does not read
appropriate Ohms, replace igniter and sensor
assembly.
IMPORTANT: Always examine all wires, terminals
and connectors to be sure wiring is proper before
replacing any components.
68. IGNITION CONTROL – SILICON
NITRATE IGNITION
Grounding Check:
(1.) Set test meter to read Ohms and put meter
probes on the ground wire connection in
12-pin block (connected to module) and on
the green ground screw in base of dryer.
See Figure 5.
(2.) Meter should read “zero” Ohms. If meter
registers an Ohm reading of any amount,
check ground wire connection and replace
as necessary.
