panel is next to be removed. This is done by removing the six (6) bolts on the bottom of the safety panel
where the basket (tumbler) section and the base meet. Reach into the feed through hole in the base of
the basket (tumbler) section, there will be two (2) cables there. Pull both cables through the hole into
the basket (tumbler) section. The cable with the connector on the end is for the basket (tumbler)

the lower left side panel and the safety panel off the dryer until left drum motor is reconnected (refer to
Section F [Left Drum Motor] below).

the back side of the motor, nearest to the basket (tumbler). When connecting the motor, bring the left
drum motor cable (refer to Section E Basket [tumbler] Junction Box Disconnect] above) and
mechanically connect it to the junction box on the motor or the external junction box with the lock nut.
There will be four (4) wires in the cable, match them with the PVC electrical tape. There should be

Section E (Basket [tumbler] Junction Box Disconnect above), then bolt the lower left side panel back
in to place using the four (4) bolts also removed in Section E (Basket [tumbler] Junction Box Disconnect
