Removing the Appliance Control Unit (ACU)

To Remove the Appliance Control Unit (ACU)

IMPORTANT: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Device.

Failure to follow the ESD precautions outlined at the

beginning of Section 3 “Testing” may destroy, damage, or

weaken the main control assembly.

Unplug dryer or disconnect power.

Perform the procedures on page 4-3, “Removing the Top

Panel” prior to performing the following steps.

Disconnect all connectors from the ACU (see Figure 1).

Using a 1/4” nut driver, remove the one (1) hex-head

screw securing the ACU to the control bracket (location

circled in Figure 2).

Reach under control bracket and locate release tab.

Depress tab and slide ACU towards front of dryer to

disengage from bracket. Remove Appliance Control Unit.

WARNING
