NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed
can result in slow drying and shutdown of the heat circuit
safety switches or thermostats.
When cleaning dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh
abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of
appliances is recommended.
Adjustments
7 Days After Installation
and Every 6 Months Thereafter
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding
connections, and nonpermanent gas connections (unions,
shutoff valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts should be
examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be
replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete
operational check of controls and valves. Complete
operational check of all safety devices (door switch, lint drawer
switch, sail switch, and hi-limit thermostats).
Lubrication
The motor bearings and under normal/most conditions the
tumbler and idler bearings are permanently lubricated. It is
physically possible to relubricate the tumbler and idler
bearings if you choose to do so even though this practice is
not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 or its equivalent. The
tumbler and idler bearings used in the dryer do not have a
grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing
for the addition of a grease fitting, which can be obtained
elsewhere, or from ADC by ordering kit Part No. 882159
(tumbler ONLY), which includes 2 fittings.
