Section 5 Service Procedures
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• 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
e. Gas Models:
(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 12.
(2.) Close main gas shut-off valve.
(3.) Disconnect gas line to dryer.
(4.) Remove three screws holding gas valve
bracket to base and remove valve with
attached lead-in pipe. See Figure 12.
(5.) Remove screw holding burner tube in place
from right side of burner housing. See
Figure 17.
(6.) Gently move burner tube toward rear of
dryer to disengage tab from slot on left side
of burner housing. See Figure 12.
(7.) Carefully rotate burner tube and igniter
counterclockwise so tab is at the 8 o’clock
position, and CAREFULLY remove
burner tube and igniter assembly out
through front of dryer.
IMPORTANT: The igniter is very fragile. Be careful
not to damage it during removal.
(8.) Remove screw holding front of burner
housing to dryer base. See Figure 15.
(9.) Remove four screws holding shroud to
heater duct and remove shroud and burner
housing out through front of dryer. See
Figure 12.
f. Electric Models:
(1.) Remove two screws holding element and
plate to heater duct, then pull element
down and away from heater duct. See
Figure 15.
(2.) Disconnect wire harness from limit
thermostat, thermal fuse and/or heating
element. See Figure 15.
g. Open loading door and remove lint filter. See
h. Remove screws holding air duct to front
bulkhead and remove air duct. See Figure 19.
IMPORTANT: When reassembling, be sure seal on
exhaust fan cover makes airtight seal on flange of
duct. See Figure 18. If the seal is installed
improperly, the airflow through the exhaust system
will be restricted which can adversely affect dryer
performance.
i. Disconnect wires from thermostat (and heater,
if present) and remove ground screw. See
Figure 18.
NOTE: Refer to wiring diagram when rewiring
thermostat and heater, if present.
j. Remove cylinder belt from idler and motor
k. Remove two screws holding motor mounting
bracket to dryer base. Then pull complete
assembly forward to disengage middle exhaust
duct.
l. Rotate the assembly counterclockwise 90° and
slide out front of machine.
m. Disconnect wires from motor switch and
remove harness clip from motor bracket. See
Figure 20. Then set motor and exhaust
assembly off to the side.
n. Remove screw holding bracket on exhaust duct
to rear of cabinet and pull duct out of cabinet.
See Figure 30.
IMPORTANT: When reinstalling motor and
exhaust assembly, be sure wire harness on right side
is clipped to motor mounting bracket and is routed
along dryer base (between motor mounting bracket
and right side of cabinet). See Figure 16. Tab on rear
of motor mounting bracket must be slid into slot in
dryer base. Be sure the belt has been installed on the
correct side of the idler lever. See Figure 19.
o. Remove two screws from front edge at each
side of cabinet. See Figure 27. Then remove
remaining screws from around bottom of
cabinet and lift cabinet off base.
p. Remove leveling legs from base and reinstall
