Removal of the front panel provides access to the
sensor rods connection, and the drum lamp. The
door switch is attached to the front panel.
Front Panel Removal
1. Remove the control panel (see
Control
Panel and Front RJ45 Access
in the
Dryer
Components
section of this service guide).
2. Remove the top cover (see
Top Panel
in the
Dryer Components
section of this service
guide).
3. Remove four 1/4-inch hex-head screws along
the top of the front panel.
NOTE
: Removal of the door will make removing
the front panel easier.
4. Then remove four T15 Torx-head screws.
There are no screws at the bottom. Only two
clips that will stay with the front panel when
removed.
Misting/Steam Valve
The misting/steam valve is used during the Steam
Dewrinkle or Steam Refresh cycles. It provides
a mist of water that is sprayed into the drum,
allowing the clothing to become damp. As the
dryer tumbles the clothes, it heats the air, drying
the clothes and causing the wrinkles to fade while
refreshing the material. The valve is located at
the top rear of the cabinet.
Misting/Steam Valve Diagnosing
From the J502 connector on the main board,
check for approximately 1k-ohm. If there is no
reading, check harness and connections. If
harness and connections are good, replace the
valve.
Water Valve Removal
1. Remove the top panel (see
Top Panel
in the
Dryer Components
section in this service
guide).
2. Disconnect the harness connector and the
water line from the misting/steam valve.
3. From the back of the dryer, remove one 1/4-
inch hex-head screw securing the valve to the
cabinet.
