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.

NOTE: If collections are done on the dryer while the machines are in a cycle, the cycle count may not yet be
recorded, this count will appear on the next collection report. This happens if the collection occurs before
the end of the cycle on the dryer. Also, it must be noted that the method used for the cycle count is similar to
today's electro-mechanical counter and variances may occur due to the windows that exist. If the dryer is
unplugged during the last five minutes of the cycle, an extra count will appear. Also, if switch “C” is out of
adjustment, improper cycle counts may appear.
