• Disconnect electric power to the dryer(s) before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer(s) before servicing.
• Never start the dryer(s) with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the dryer is properly grounded.

WARNING
IMPORTANT: Use care while removing igniter to
avoid damaging or breaking it. The igniter is very
fragile.
IMPORTANT: Handle igniter by grasping the
white cermaic portion of bracket only. DO NOT
handle silicone carbide or nitrate portion of igniter

material to contaminate it. Oil, grease and other
impurities or hairline cracks will cause the igniter to
burn out.
o. Gas Models with Silicon Carbide Ignition:
(1.) Disconnect igniter wires at disconnect
blocks, sensor wires from flame sensor
terminals, and wires from gas valve coils at
the quick disconnect blocks. See
Figure 17.
(2.) Remove screw from right side of burner
housing holding burner tube in place. See
Figure 17.
(3.) Gently move burner tube toward rear of
dryer to disengage tab from slot on left side
of burner housing. See Figure 17.
(4.) Carefully rotate burner tube and igniter
counterclockwise so tab is at the 8 o’clock
position.
(5.) Move air shutter end of burner tube slightly
to right and CAREFULLY remove burner
tube and igniter assembly out through front
of dryer. See Figure 17.
(6.) Remove screw holding burner housing to
heat shroud. See Figure 17.
(7.) Remove screw holding front of burner
housing to dryer base and remove housing
out through front of dryer. See Figure 17.
(8.) Remove four screws holding shroud to
heater duct. Remove shroud out through
front of dryer. See Figure 17.
p. Gas Models with Silicon Nitrate Ignition:
(1.) Remove wire harness from ignition
control.
(2.) Remove screws holding ignition control to
(3.) Carefuly remove ignition control.
(4.) Remove wires from igniter and sensor
assembly. See Figure 16.
(5.) Remove screw holding burner tube to
burner housing. See Figure 17.
(6.) Remove screw holding burner housing to
heat shroud. See Figure 15.
(7.) Remove screw holding front of burner
housing to dryer base and remove housing
out through front of dryer. See Figure 14.
(8.) Remove four screws holding shroud to
heater duct. Remove shroud out through
front of dryer. See Figure 15.
q. Electric Models:
(1.) Remove two screws holding element and
plate to heater duct, then pull element
down and away from heater duct. See
Figure 17.
(2.) While supporting bulkhead, remove
screws holding bulkhead to rear of dryer
cabinet, and remove assembly out of dryer.
See Figure 32.
(3.) Remove screw holding exhaust duct to
dryer cabinet and pull duct out of cabinet.
See Figure 32.
(4.) Remove two screws from each rear cabinet
top hold-down bracket. See Figure 27.
(5.) Remove screw holding access plate and
remove plate.
(6.) Remove wire harness clips.
(7.) Remove locators and screws.
(8.) Remove two screws from front edge at
