a. While supporting the lower access panel,
remove two screws from bottom edge of lower
access panel, Figure 22.
b. Gently lower the access panel to disengage
guide lugs from bottom edge of front panel.
c. Remove two screws holding bottom tabs on
front panel to dryer side panels, Figure 22.
Swing bottom of front panel away from dryer
far enough to disengage hold-down clips and
guide lugs from cabinet top.
d. Disconnect wires from door switch, Figure 21.
NOTE: Refer to appropriate wiring diagram when
rewiring switch.
e. Remove two cabinet top hold-down screws,
Figure 35.
f. Lift cabinet top to a vertical position by
hinging it on the rear hold-down hinges,
Figure 35.
NOTE: Cabinet top may be raised and hinged on
the rear hold-down hinges, or supported against
a wall behind the dryer.
g. Disengage belt from motor and idler pulleys,
Figure 31.
NOTE: When reinstalling belt, be sure belt is
properly installed on motor and idler pulleys and
is on the correct side of the idler lever,
Figure 30. Belt must be positioned between
center and rear baffle screws with the ribbed
surface against the cylinder. After installing belt,
manually rotate cylinder counterclockwise to
check that belt is properly aligned.
h. Remove four screws holding bulkhead to front
flange of cabinet. Then, lift complete bulkhead
assembly out of slots in cabinet, Figure 37.
a 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.
IMPORTANT: When reassembling, be sure felt
seal on exhaust fan cover makes airtight seal on
flange of duct, Figure 27. If the seal is installed
improperly, the airflow through the exhaust
system will be restricted which can adversely
affect dryer performance.
i. Manually rotate cylinder until one of the
baffles is at the 6 o’clock position and
carefully remove cylinder out through front of
dryer.
j. Pull rear cylinder seal from flanged edge of
bulkhead, Figure 42.
NOTE: When installing the cylinder seal, it is
important to remember these two important
steps:
(1) The stitching on the seal must face towards
the dryer center, Figure 39.
(2) The short flap, Figure 39, must be glued to
the bulkhead and the long flap left loose.
IMPORTANT: The seal can be adhered to the
bulkhead using replacement sealant No. 22506P.
This is accomplished by applying a bead of
sealant around the entire flanged area where the
felt seal contacts the bulkhead.
