The tumble dryer uses heat, air and movement to
dry loads of laundry.
When the motor is started, the exhaust fan pulls
fresh air in through the air intake and over the
heat source (burner flame for gas, heating element
for electric, and coil for steam).
The heated air moves into the cylinder, where it is
circulated through the laundry by the tumbling
action of the cylinder.
The air then passes through the lint filter, exhaust
fan, and is vented to the outdoors.
Check back draft damper
for foreign objects, lint
accumulation or other
causes that may prevent
damper from opening.
Check exhaust outlet. If a
screen has been
improperly installed on
the outlet, it may be
clogged with lint or frozen
over in winter. NEVER
install a screen over the
exhaust outlet.
