Gas Dryers
IMPORTANT: This operation is to be conducted
by qualified personnel only.
To view the burner flame, remove the lower front
panel of the dryer.
Close the loading door, start the dryer in a heat setting
(refer to the Operation section). The dryer will start,
the igniter will glow red and the main burner will
ignite.
IMPORTANT: If all air is not purged out of gas
line, gas igniter may go off before gas is ignited. If
this happens, after approximately two minutes
igniter will again attempt gas ignition.
IMPORTANT: If igniter does not light, make sure
gas is turned on.
After the dryer has operated for approximately five
minutes, observe burner flame through lower front
panel. Adjust the air shutter to obtain a soft, uniform
blue flame. (A lazy , yellow-tipped flame indicates lack
of air. A harsh, roaring, very blue flame indicates too
much air.) Adjust the air shutter as follows:
1. Loosen the air shutter lockscrew.
2. Turn the air shutter to the left to get a luminous
yellow-tipped flame, then turn it back slowly to
the right to obtain a steady, soft blue flame.
3. After the air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten the air shutter lockscrew securely.
4. Reinstall the lower front panel.
After the dryer has operated for approximately three
minutes, exhaust air or exhaust pipe should be warm.

Lubrication
All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of
lubricant or are equipped with oilless bearings.
Additional lubrication will not be necessary.
Care of Your Dryer
Dryer Interior
Wipe the surfaces using a soft cloth and household
cleaner or a non-abrasive paste of powdered laundry
detergent and hot water, followed by a short heat cycle
with a load of rags.
T o remov e crayon or ball point in k of f the dryer drum,
put the heat on high and use old rags in the dryer to
absorb the crayon or ink. If unsuccessful, contact the
appliance dealer. DO NOT use any chemicals in the
dryer.
IMPORTANT: The use of chlorine bleach for
removing any discolorations should be avoided
because bleach could damage the finish.
Cabinet
Wipe the dryer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach
or other washing products have been spilled on the
dryer, wipe immediately. Some products will cause
permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.
Control Panel
Exhaust System
The exhaust duct should be inspected after one year of
use and cleaned if necessary by a qualified service
person to remove any lint build-up. Inspect and clean
exhaust duct every one to two years as required
thereafter.
The weather hood should be checked frequently to
make sure the dampers move freely, dampers are not
pushed in and that nothing has been set against them.
Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air.
NOTE: Verify proper operation after servicing.
Lint Filter
CLEAN THE LINT FILTER BEFORE DRYING
EACH LOAD. (Refer to Figure 40 for lint filter
location.) Cleaning the lint filter is important because
a layer or pad of lint on the filter will block the flow of
air through the dryer, thus reducing the efficiency of
the dryer. The clothes will take longer to dry and
energy will be wasted.
The lint filter may be washed if needed. Annually
remove lint filter and screw to vacuum the duct under
it.
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the
control panel. Some spray pretreat products may harm
the finish on the control panel.
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located inside the
control panel.
The dryer’s motor overload protector stops the motor
automatically in the event of an overload. After
cooling, the overload protector will reset itself. Dryer
can be restarted by pressing the PUSH-TO-START
button or START pad. If overload protector cycles
again, remove the dryer from use and call the service
person to correct the problem.
For Energy Conservation
•Make sure the lint filter is always clean.
•Do not overload dryer.
•Do not overdry clothes.
•Remove items to be ironed while still damp.
•Large loads of similar fabrics dry the most
efficiently. However, dry permanent press in
smaller loads to prevent wrinkling.
•Use the correct temperature FABRIC
SELECTOR setting for the type of fabric being
dried.
•Locate your dryer so the exhaust duct is as short
and straight as possible.
•Do not open the door during the drying cycle.
•Plan to do your laundry on low humidity days;
your clothes will dry faster.
•Should you plan to dry several loads, do them
one after another, then you do not have to reheat
the dryer unit’s interior parts each time.
Try these troubleshooting tips before making a service call. They may save you time and money.
Dryer SymptomPossible Cause/Solution
Dryer won’t start
Dryer won’t heat
Dryer doesn’t dry clothes
satisfactorily
•Insert coin(s) or card.
•For dryers equipped with a power cord, make sure the power cord is plugged all
the way into the electrical outlet.
•Make sure loading door is closed.
•Press START pad.
•Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn’t blown or loose, or circuit breakers
aren’t open. The dryer itself does not have an electrical fuse. An electric dryer
has an electrical circuit with two fuses.
•Check if motor overload protector has cycled. Wait 10 minutes and try again.
•Make sure the laundry room fuse(s) isn’t blown or loose, or circuit breakers
aren’t open. The dryer itself does not have an electrical fuse. An electric dryer
has an electrical circuit with two fuses.
•Make sure controls are in a HEAT setting.
•Gas dryer only – Make sure equipment and main gas line valve is turned on.
•Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or needs cleaning.
•Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not been pushed in
or has not been blocked.
•Check exhaust duct to outside to see if it is kinked, blocked or needs cleaning.
•Check weather hood to make sure flapper moves freely, has not been pushed in
or has not been blocked.
•Clean the lint filter.
•Make sure the load isn’t too small. Small loads may not tumble properly or dry
evenly.
•Check load being dried. Heavy items dried with lightweight items will not dry as
quickly as the rest of the load.
Dryer is noisy
Clothes are too wrinkled
Clothes have odor
•Check dryer for foreign objects (nails, coins, bobby pins, metal, plastic toys,
etc.). Remove items from dryer.
•Make sure dryer is level. Uneven leveling can cause vibration.
•Normal operating sounds include the tick of timer advancing, heat source going
on and off, and humming of air moving through the dryer and exhaust system.
•Check heat setting. Overdrying can cause wrinkling.
•Check load size. Large loads may not tumble properly and may cause wrinkling.
•Check room for odors before drying clothes. Any odor (fried foods, paint,
varnish, cleaners, burning wood, etc.) will transfer to clothing as the dryer draws
air from the room. Ventilate room before drying clothes.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death, DO NOT repair or replace any part
of the dryer or attempt any servicing
unless specifically recommended in the
user-maintenance instructions or in
published user-repair instructions that
you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
