Servicing Components on the Rear of the Bulkhead
There are two panels on the back of the dryer that allow access to components at the rear of the
bulkhead.
The smaller panel covers the electrical connections for the dryer.
1. On Gas Dryers the three prong grounded 120VAC power cord is connected at this location.
2. On Electric Dryers the 240VAC terminal block is located under the small access panel.
The large louvered back panel covers the intake and exhaust system. On Gas Dryers the louvers in
this panel provide auxiliary air for the gas burner.
Electric Heater Element
On electric dryers the electric heater element is contained in a housing attached to the lower portion of
the heater box.
To remove the heater element:
1. Disconnect the wire leads from the high-limit thermostat and the heater element terminals.
2. Remove the two hex head screws securing the heater element to the heater box and remove
the heater element and housing.
3. The heater element can be removed from the housing by removing the one hex head screw
securing the heater element mounting bracket to the housing and sliding the heater element
out of the housing.
