CARING FOR YOUR DRYER
If your dryer is gas and has a full front
panel, remove front panel as follows:
1. Unplug the power supply cord or turn off
the electrical power.
2. Open lint screen lid. Remove two screws
from lint screen area.
3. Open top by pulling forward and up at
each front corner (see View A). Rest
raised top against wall behind dryer (top
is hinged at rear).
4. Remove two internal screws from front
panel flanges (near top front corners). Lift
front panel slightly, lifting off lower clips
(see lower clip inset of View B). Slowly
pull front panel forward, disengaging
panel from drum. (Drum will drop slightly.)
5. Move front panel aside and rest edge
against side of dryer. Avoid disconnecting
wire clips (see wire clips inset of View B)
or damaging wires.
6. Remove lint from area shown in ‘‘gas
dryer’’ illustration on page 17 with soft
brush or vacuum cleaner. Avoid damag-
ing wires, funnel, or ignitor.
7. Reassemble in reverse order. Before
closing the top, check the following:
–Drum seal must be flared out (see
drum seal insets of View B) and prop-
erly positioned against panel at back of
drum. Rotate drum counterclockwise
one full turn to check drum seal.
–Belt should be centered and tight on
dryer drum.
–Wire clip retainer, which holds the door
switch wires, must be secured to top of
front panel (see wire clips inset of View
B) and along top edge of side panel.
Door wires must not touch drum when
dryer is operating.
8. Replace top panel and lint screen screws.
Top and front panels must be securely in
place before operating dryer.
9. Reconnect power and level dryer again
(if necessary).
