NOTE: Burner tube and igniter can be removed
without removing gas valve and bracket.
(1) Remove one screw from right side of
burner housing holding burner tube in
place. Refer to Figure 14.
(2) Gently move burner tube toward rear of
dryer to disengage tab from slot on left side
of burner housing. Refer to Figure 18.
(3) Carefully rotate burner tube and igniter
counterclockwise so tab is at 8 o’clock
position.
(4) Move air shutter end of burner tube slightly
to right and CAREFULLY remove burner
tube and igniter assembly out through front
of dryer.
(5) Remove screw holding the igniter and
bracket to the burner tube and remove
igniter and bracket. Refer to Figure 17.
IMPORTANT: Use care in removal so as not to
damage or break igniter as it is very fragile.
IMPORTANT: Handle igniter by grasping the
white ceramic portion or bracket only. DO NOT
handle silicon carbide portion of igniter with hands
or allow any oil, grease or other foreign material to
contaminate it. Oil, grease and other impurities or
hairline cracks will cause the igniter to burn out.

Refer to Figure 47.
2. Set test meter to read OHMS and put meter
probes on terminals of igniter wires.

40 Ohms. If meter does not register any Ohms or
less than 40 Ohms, replace the igniter.
IMPORTANT: Always examine all wires,
terminals and connectors to be sure wiring is
proper before replacing any components.
