The tumbler uses heat, air and movement to dry loads of laundry.
When the motor is started, the exhaust fan pulls 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.
NOTE: In Energy Saver Models, some of the exhaust air is recirculated. Refer to illustration on page 9.

tumbler MUST be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70. In Canada, the
electrical connections are to be made in accordance
with CSA C22.1 or the latest edition of the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I and/or local codes.
Electrical work should be done by a qualified
electrician.
WARNING
All electrical connections should be made
by a qualified electrician.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, deenergize the electrical circuit being
connected to the tumbler before making any
electrical connections. Never attempt to
connect a live circuit.

WARNING
Control panel, access panel, and lint panel
must be in place before attempting to adjust
airflow switch.
W276
IMPORTANT: Airflow switch disc must remain
closed during operation. If it opens during the
drying cycle, insufficient airflow through the
tumbler is indicated. If switch remains open, or
pops open and closed during the cycle, the heating
system will shut off. The cylinder and fan will
continue to operate even though the airflow switch
is malfunctioning.
WARNING
Airflow switch operation may be affected by
a clogged lint screen, lack of make-up air, or
by obstructions in the vertical recirculation
stack, or in the customer installed main or
collector ducts. These conditions MUST be
checked and necessary corrections made
before adjusting airflow switch. Always
check airflow at installation. Under no
circumstances is the airflow switch to be
blocked closed or bypassed.
W277

b. Slowly close loading door. When door is two
inches (51 mm) from being fully closed, the tab
on the door should contact the switch rod and
depress it enough to close the switch with an
audible “click”.
c. If tab does not depress the switch rod enough to
operate the switch, adjust switch position. If
switch position doesn’t achieve proper
operation, bend tab outward and repeat steps
“a” and “b”.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the tumbler before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumbler before servicing.
• Close steam valve to steam tumbler before servicing.
• Never start the tumbler with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the tumbler is properly grounded.

82. LOADING DOOR STRIKE
Refer to Figure 44.
The loading door strike must be adjusted so it has
sufficient tension to hold loading door closed against
the force of a tumbling load. The door strike is properly
adjusted when 8-15 lbs. (17.6-33 kg) of pull is required
to open door.
To adjust, open door, loosen acorn nut and turn door
strike screw in or out as required. Retighten acorn nut.

84. DRIVE TENSION
WARNING
To avoid bodily injury, disconnect power to
tumbler before performing this operation. To
find the proper tension, apply light thumb
pressure midway between the cylinder
sprocket and the idler sprocket, and adjust
until the chain can be depressed
approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm).
W279
IMPORTANT: After a tumbler has been in
operation over an extended period of time, a “HIGH
POINT” will develop on the cylinder drive sprocket
from use and wear. Turn the sprocket manually with
drive chain in place until this “high point” is at the
top center. The “high point” can be found by
noticing increased chain tension while slowly
rotating the cylinder sprocket manually. The chain
must be at the “high point” when making the
adjustment.
Nonreversing Tumblers
Refer to Figure 45.
a. Remove drive guard.
b. To adjust chain tension, loosen jam nut holding
idler sprocket to housing.
c. Move idler sprocket left or right until proper
chain tension is reached, then re-tighten the jam
nut.
d. Check chain tension.
Reversing Tumblers
Refer to Figure 46.
a. Remove drive guard.
b. To adjust chain or belt tension, loosen jam nut
on idler housing attaching bolt, Figure 31, and
move entire idler housing assembly up or down
in the guide rails to change tension.
c. When chain tension is correct, tighten idler
housing attaching bolts. Hold idler housing
firmly in position while tightening jam nut on
attaching bolt.
d. Check chain or belt tension after tightening jam
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the tumbler before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas tumbler before servicing.
• Close steam valve to steam tumbler before servicing.
• Never start the tumbler with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the tumbler is properly grounded.

85. CYLINDER CLEARANCE
The clearance between the cylinder rim and front panel
must be adjusted so the cylinder is centered within the
front panel opening when the cylinder is fully loaded
and is turning. However, the adjustment should be
made when the cylinder is empty.
NOTE: If the cylinder is not properly adjusted, the
cylinder rim will rub against the front panel.
a. Open loading door and check the gap between
the center of the front panel top flange and the
cylinder rim. Proper adjustment is when the gap
is 7/16 inch (11 mm). Refer to Figure 47.
b. Remove drive guard.
c. Loosen the four trunnion housing bolts. Refer
to Figure 48.
d. Loosen the locknuts on the trunnion housing
adjusting bolts. Refer to Figure 48.
CYLINDER
RIM
e. Turn the adjusting bolts in or out as necessary
to obtain proper clearance between cylinder rim
and front panel.
NOTE: Turning the adjusting bolts clockwise will
raise the cylinder and turning them
counterclockwise will lower the cylinder. Turn both
bolts evenly to adjust top and bottom clearance.
Turn one or the other adjusting bolt in or out to
adjust side clearance.
f. After the cylinder is properly adjusted, tighten
the adjusting bolt locknuts and the four
trunnion housing bolts.
g. Install the drive guard removed in step “b”.
NOTE: If adjusting the trunnion housing fails to
correct the clearance, the problem is probably due
to a worn trunnion shaft or bearings.
