GAS CONNECTION
(Gas laundry centers only)
a. Remove the shipping cap from gas pipe at the rear of the
dryer.
NOTE: DO NOT
connect the laundry center to L.P. gas service
without converting the gas valve. An L.P. conversion kit (P/
N 5303937053) must be installed by a qualified gas
technician.
b. Connect a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) I.D. semi-rigid or approved
pipe from the gas supply line to the 3/8 inch (0.96 cm) pipe
located on the back of the dryer. Use a 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) to
3/8 inch (0.96 cm) reducer for the connection. Apply an
approved thread sealer that is resistant to the corrosive action
of liquefied gases on all pipe connections.
c. Open the shutoff valve in the gas supply line.
d. Test all connections by brushing on a soapy water solution.
NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
8. Form a “ U “ shape on the end of the drain hose with the
hose pointed toward the drain. Place the formed end in a
laundry tub or a standpipe and secure with a cable tie provided
in the enclosure package.

9. Remove the two (2) screws securing the dryer front access
panel to the dryer cabinet. Lift the panel until the tabs can
be disengaged from the cabinet. Remove the panel and set
aside.
NOTE:
A wiring diagram is located behind the dryer front
access panel.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
If replacement parts are needed for your laundry center, contact
the source where you purchased your laundry center.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Destroy the carton, plastic bags, and metal
band after the laundry center is unpacked. Children might use
them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic
sheets can become airtight chambers causing suffocation. Place
all materials in a garbage container or make materials
inaccessible to children.
The instructions in this manual and all other
literature included with this laundry center are not meant to
cover every possible condition and situation that may occur.

the dryer is turned on, the safety switch will shut
the burner off. If this happens, turn the timer to
“OFF” and wait 5 minutes before making another
attempt to light.
