Long Vent Motor
The long vent motor operates on 120-VAC and
rotates at 300 RPM. The motor has an approximate
resistance value of 15 Ω. A 10 ufd capacitor is
attached to the motor. The motor is attached to
the back of the blower housing with 3 Phillips-head
screws.
To remove the long vent blower motor:
1. Remove the blower wheel. (See
Blower Wheel.)
2. Disconnect the motor wire harness.
3. Remove the 3 Phillips-head screws that attach

Heater Assembly
WARNING: Sharp edges may be exposed when
servicing the dryer. Use caution to avoid injury.
Wear Kevlar® gloves or equivalent protection.
The heater assembly is located below the drum
on the right side of the chassis. It consists of 2
open-wire elements, each fastened inside a single
housing. The elements are wired in parallel with
each other and controlled by a relays on the control
board.
When energized, each element draws
approximately 12.5 amps at 240 VAC. Each element
has a resistance value of approximately 20.6
When both are energized, the elements draw
approximately 25 amps at 240 VAC. The 2 inner
elements have a combined resistance value of
approximately 41.2
To remove the heater assembly:
1. Remove the drum. (See
Drive Belt and Drum.)
2. Note the wire locations, then disconnect all
wiring from the heater assembly.
3. Remove the Phillips-head screw from the top on
the heater assembly.
4. Remove the two 1/4-in. hex-head screws that
attach the heater assembly to the chassis.
