front of the dryer.
The air enters the fan housing and is pushed out the
exhaust vent to the outside of the house.
Airflow gas dryers:
The airflow in gas dryers is similar to electric dryers except
for the heat source and the rear of the drum. The air
enters the cavity through the louvered opening in the
right rear corner of the dryer. The air is pulled across the
gas burner, through the burner chamber and is ducted to
the rear of the drum.
The drum is the same as in the electric dryer, except it
does not have a heat baffle on it.
Airflow problems:
Airflow problems are usually caused by restrictions, leaks
or short unrestricted vents resulting in longer drying
times, hotter dryer surfaces and in extreme cases causing
the thermal limiter to open on electric dryers.
