Basic Information Safe Servicing Practices Avoid personal injury and/or property damage by observing important Safe Servicing Practices. Following are some limited examples of safe practices: 1. DO NOT attempt a product repair if you have any doubts as to your ability to complete the repair in a safe and satisfactory manner. 2. Always Use The Correct Replacement Parts as indicated in the parts documentation. Substitutions may defeat compliance with Safety Standards Set For Home Appliances. 3.
Basic Information TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE DRYER, THE ELECTRICAL POWER CORD OF A GAS DRYER MUST BE PLUGGED INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED AND POLARIZED 3-PRONG OUTLET. THE THIRD GROUNDING PRONG MUST NEVER BE REMOVED. NEVER GROUND THE DRYER TO A GAS PIPE. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE DRYER FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE OR CLEANING. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR INJURY.

Installation Information Exhaust System Requirements Use only 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter (minimum) rigid or flexible metal duct and approved vent hood which has a swing-out damper(s) that open when the dryer is in operation. When the dryer stops, the dampers automatically close to prevent drafts and the entrance of insects and rodents. To avoid restricting the outlet, maintain a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) clearance between the vent hood and the ground or any other obstruction.
Installation Information Install Male Fittings in Correct Direction: Exhaust Direction In installations where the exhaust system is not described in the charts, the following method must be used to determine if the exhaust system is acceptable: (See Figure 2-4) Directional exhausting can be accomplished by installing a quick-turn 90° dryer vent elbow directly to exhaust outlet of dryer. Dryer vent elbows are available through your local parts distributor or hardware store.
Installation Information Clearance Requirements IMPORTANT DO NOT INSTALL THE DRYER: 1. In an area exposed to dripping water or out side weather conditions. 2. In an area where it will come in contact with curtains, drapes, or anything that will obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. 3. On carpet. Floor MUST be solid with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.54 cm). Installation in a Recess or Closet 1. A dryer installed in a bedroom, bathroom, recess or closet, MUST be exhausted out doors. 2.
Installation Information Electrical System Requirements IMPORTANT Circuit - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit fused with 30 amp. time delay fuses or circuit breakers. Use separately fused circuits for washer and dryer. DO NOT operate a washer and a dryer on the same circuit. This dryer is internally grounded to neutral unless it was manufactured for sale in Canada.
Installation Information Electrical Installation DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS DRYER. SOME EXTENSION CORDS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND THE AMOUNTS OF ELECTRICAL CURRENT THIS DRYER UTILIZES AND CAN MELT, CREATING ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND/OR FIRE HAZARD. LOCATE THE DRYER WITHIN REACH OF THE RECEPTACLE FOR THE LENGTH POWER CORD TO BE PURCHASED, ALLOWING SOME SLACK IN THE CORD. A U.L.-APPROVED STRAIN RELIEF MUST BE INSTALLED ONTO POWER CORD.

Remove the top panel, console and front panel. 3. Disconnect the wire leads at the control assembly. 4.
Component Teardown Inlet Thermistor Removal (Inlet NTC) The function of the rear inlet thermistor / Inlet NTC is to determine the heater status. If the temperature reads over the threshold, the heater(s) will be turned off. A faulty inlet NTC may prevent the heater(s) from turning on, or may turn the heater(s) off prematurely. Screw The inlet thermistor is inserted into the outlet of the heat duct to sense the temperature of the air prior to entering the drying compartment.
Component Teardown Belt Removal (Wave Touch™)) The belt circles the drum and has tension applied to it by the idler arm assembly. To remove the belt: 1. Remove the top panel, rear panel, console and front panel. 2.
