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
IMPORTANT: When reassembling, be sure seal on
exhaust fan cover makes airtight seal on flange of
duct. See Figure 41. If the seal is installed
improperly, the airflow through the exhaust system
will be restricted which can adversely affect dryer
performance.
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 42. 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 43.
i. Pull assembly forward and disengage the
middle exhaust duct.
j. Rotate the assembly 90° counterclockwise and
slide out through front of dryer.
k. Motor pulley and idler pulley assemblies.
See Figure 44 for motor and idler pulley
removal.
NOTE: When repairing or replacing the idler arm,
it is important to make sure the idler arm moves
freely. To ensure that the idler arm can move freely,
proceed as follows:
(1.) Unhook idler spring.
(2.) Lift idler arm approximately 3 inches and
release. If idler arm does not fall back to
the base of the motor mount, then idler arm
bolt is too tight.
(3.) Loosen idler arm bolt 1/4 turn.
(4.) Add grease between idler arm and motor
mount.
l. Impeller and housing.
(1.) Remove screws holding cover to housing.
See Figure 41.
(2.) Hold motor pulley securely and unthread
impeller from motor shaft (right hand
thread). Use a 7/8 inch, 6 point socket to
aid in the removal of the impeller.
(3.) Remove three screws holding the exhaust
housing to the motor mounting bracket.
See Figure 45.
