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 room
temperature 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 wiring diagram for aid in testing dryer components.

24. ELECTRONIC CONTROL
(Figure 11)
IMPORTANT: Due to the sensitivity of the
electroniccontrol, carefulhandling is required. As a
precautionary measure, we recommend using a
ground wrist strap when handling the electronic
control. Wrist strap, cord and alligator clips are
designed to carry away any electrostatic charge
from your body and to direct charge to an available
ground. By using this static protection device,
potential electrostatic discharge problems
associated with handling of electronic control will
be minimized. Always handle electronic control by
its metal edges. If a wrist strap is not available,
touch dryer while it is plugged in before handling
control to dissipate any charge.
NOTE: New control is suppliedin special anti-static
packaging material. While holding control by its
metal edges, remove control from packaging
material.
a. Remove two control panel attaching screws.
Lay control panel assembly face down on
protective padding.
b. Press in on locking tabs and unplug harness
disconnect blocks from backside of electronic
control assembly.
NOTE: DO NOT pull on wires. Instead, hold board
near appropriate disconnect block and unplug by
pulling in disconnect block.
c. Remove four screws holding electronic
controls assembly to backside of control panel.
d. Place the old control in the anti-static
packaging material that the new control was
supplied in.
e. While holding new control by its metal edges,
carefully peel off protective plastic coating
from front side of control. Thenplace control in
opening of control panel and fasten control
down with four screws.
f. Follow wiring diagram and reconnect wires to
new control.
IMPORTANT: It is important to take care when
handling the original control. It must be carefully
placed in the packaging material which was
removed from new control. If control is not
wrapped properly, warranty credit will not be
issued.
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.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death
by carbon monoxide and other gases in gas
dryers, carefully read and follow all
instructions given in this section.
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.
