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.

installed improperly, the airflow through the dryer
will be reduced which can adversely affect dryer
performance.
i. Disconnect wires from thermostat, and remove
ground screw. Refer to Figure 22.
NOTE: Refer to wiring diagram when rewiring
thermostat.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:

• 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.
k. Remove two screws holding motor mounting
bracket to dryer base. Then pull complete
assembly forward to disengage middle exhaust
duct.
l. Rotate the assembly counterclockwise 90° and
slide out front of machine.

assembly, be sure wire harness on right side is
clipped to motor mounting bracket and is routed
along dryer base (between motor mounting bracket
and right side of cabinet). Refer to Figure 22. Tab on
rear of motor mounting bracket must be slid into
slot in dryer base. Be sure the belt has been installed
on the correct side of the idler lever. Refer to
Figure 25.
o. Remove cabinet per Paragraph 58.
p. Remove leveling legs from base and reinstall
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:

operator’s position facing front of washer.
60. LEVELING LEGS
Refer to Figure 41.
NOTE: Dryer should be installed on a solid and
level floor.
a. Place dryer in position, adjusting the legs until
dryer is level.
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.
W005
NOTE: Legs can be adjusted outside the dryer by
using a 1-1/4 inch size wrench, or from inside the
dryer (with lower front access panel removed) by
using a 1/4 inch drive ratchet with extension.
b. Keep dryer as close to the floor as possible. All
four legs must rest firmly on the floor so weight
of the dryer is evenly distributed. The dryer
MUST NOT rock.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT move the dryer at any time
unless the dryer is completely assembled. DO NOT
slide the dryer across the floor once the leveling legs
have been extended as the legs and base could
become damaged.
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.
W001R1
IMPORTANT: Electrical test procedures in this
service manual are performed by using a Volt-Ohm
meter. Tests can also be performed using a multimeter or any other electrical testing equipment with
which the service person is familiar.

(closed)
(3) Timer motor test – T and M (electric
models) or T and N (gas models) =
approximately 2460-3100 Ohms or apply
live power to timer motor terminals and
motor should run.

NOTE: The thermal overload protector is unique to
the motor from which it was removed and should
only be used on that motor. To reduce the risk of
overheating the motor, do not use any thermal
overload protector other than the one taken from
the inoperative motor switch in step 3.
(1) Motor with Switch on Blower End
Using a small bladed screwdriver, press the
thermal overload protector mounting tab
downward and remove the thermal
overload protector from the inoperative
motor switch. Refer to Figure 45.
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.
W001R1
(2) Motor with switch on pulley end

into the slot located between top of motor
switch and plastic clip. Lift up on handle of
screwdriver until both clip and thermal
overload protector detach from motor
switch. Refer to Figure 46.

in Step “c” to the new motor switch.
e. Install new motor switch onto motor and
reconnect motor switch leads removed in Step
“b”. Refer to Figure 50.

power (120 VAC) directly to motor terminals 4
and 5. Then start and run the motor at least 6
times, making sure the motor and switch are
operating properly.
NOTE: The dryer manufacturer and parts
suppliers are not liable for improper switch
installation.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:

66. BURNER SYSTEM OPERATION
(Gas Models – Refer to Figure 47.)
a. Components
This burner has four basic components: a
silicon carbide (glow bar) igniter, burner tube,
sensor, and a two-stage gas valve consisting of
a split-coil valve and a secondary coil valve.
The split-coil valve is opened when the dryer
thermostat calls for heat, while the secondary
valve does not open until the igniter has attained
ignition temperature.
b. Pre-Ignition Circuits
When the dryer thermostat calls for heat,
circuits are completed through the holding coil,
sensor, booster coil and igniter. Both coils must
be energized to open the split-coil valve. Once
opened, the holding coil can hold the valve
open without assistance from the booster coil.
The sensor triggers the current to travel around
the secondary coil and through the igniter,
causing the igniter to get hot.
c. Burner Circuit
In approximately 30 seconds, the igniter attains
ignition temperature and ignition is made. The
heat from the burner flame causes the sensor
contacts (located on burner housing beside the
D268SE3A
Figure 47
igniter) to open. A circuit is then completed
through the secondary valve coil, opening the
valve and allowing gas to flow.
d. Momentary Power Interruption
Upon resumption of power, sensor contacts will
still be open, permitting secondary valve to
open. However, with the secondary coil in the
circuit, the booster coil cannot draw enough
current to open the split-coil valve. When
sensor contacts do reclose, the secondary valve
will close, and the burner system will be in the
normal pre-ignition circuit.
e. Flame Failure
In case of flame failure, the sensor contacts will
re-close in about 45 seconds. This will close the
secondary valve and the burner system will be
in the normal pre-ignition circuit.
f. Ignition Failure
If flame is not established as sensor contacts
open, secondary valve will remain open until
sensor contacts re-close. Sensor will continue to
recycle the igniter and secondary valve (about
once per minute) until ignition is made or dryer
is turned off.
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.
