L3 Dryer - Gas Model

Note: See schematic for proper switch connections.

1. Other factors contributing to long dry times or clothes conditions include load size, number of

large or bulky items, ambient temperature, room size (if not exhausted outdoors), wetness of
clothes, and washer rinse temperature.

2. Small loads (less than 3 lb) may develop static, causing clothes to cling to the drum surface

(no tumble) and resulting in wrinkles, shrinkage, or melting. Use a fabric softener in the
washer or dryer, or add two large bath towels to act as a buffer when drying.
