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.

motor assembly.
2. Remove wires from one side of each switch.
NOTE: Refer to appropriate wiring diagram when
rewiring timer.
3. Manaully advance timing cam to disengage it
from ratchet wheel.
4. Set meter to read Ohms and apply leads on
terminals of each switch in turn. You should read
the following:
Switch A = “zero ohms (closed).
Switch B = “zero” ohms (closed).
Switch C (if present) = “infinite” (open)
RATCHET
WHEEL
5. Manually advance timing cam until it engages
with ratchet wheel and the first “click” is heard.
Switch B should now read “ifinite” (open).
6. Continue to rotate timing cam until second
“click” is heard. Switch B should remain open.
Switch A should read “infinite” 9open) and
Swtich C (if present) should read “zero” Ohms
(closed).
7. Timing Motor
Apply live power to timing motor leads - Timing
motor should advance timing cam.
