Nameplate Location
When calling or writing about your product, be sure to
mention model and serial numbers. Model and serial
numbers are located on nameplate(s) as shown.
The dryer uses heated air to dry loads of laundry. When the motor is started, the exhaust fan pulls air in
through louvers at the rear of the dryer and over the heat source (burner flame for gas and heating element
for electric). The heated air moves through the heater duct and into the cylinder, where it circulates
through the wet load. The air then passes through the lint filter, air duct, and exhaust fan, where it is
vented to the outdoors.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the dryer(s) before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer(s) before servicing.
• Never start the dryer(s) with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the dryer is properly grounded.
IMPORTANT: Refer to appropriate model wiring diagram for aid in testing dryer components.
