Section 7 Test 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
61. SENSOR CHECK – SILICON CARBIDE
IGNITION
a. While supporting the access panel, remove two
screws from bottom edge of access panel. See
Figure 7.
b. Gently lower the access panel to disengage
locators from bottom edge of front panel. See
Figure 7.
c. Close main gas shut-off valve.
d. Remove wires from sensor terminals. See
e. Set test meter to read Ohms, put meter probes
on sensor terminals. Meter should read “zero”
Ohms. If meter registers an Ohm reading of any
amount, replace sensor.
62. IGNITER CHECK – SILICON CARBIDE
IGNITION
Gas dryers are manufactured with an igniter.
a. While supporting the access panel, remove two
screws from bottom edge of access panel. See
Figure 7.
b. Gently lower the access panel to disengage
locators from bottom edge of front panel. See
Figure 7.
c. Disconnect igniter wires at disconnect block.
d. Set test meter to read Ohms and put meter
probes on terminals of igniter wires.
e. Silicon Carbide Igniter – meter should read
between 45 – 200 Ohms. See Figure 64.
If meter does not read appropriate Ohms, then
replace the igniter.
IMPORTANT: Always examine all wires, terminals
and connectors to be sure wiring is proper before
replacing any components.
