Heater Assembly
The heater assembly is located behind the drum.
It consists of inner and outer open-wire elements,
each formed in a zigzag pattern fastened to a single
housing. The inner element consists of 2 elements
wired in parallel with each. The inner element and
the outer element are controlled by separate relays
on the control board.
When energized, the outer element draws
approximately 12.5 amps at 240 VAC. The outer
element has a resistance value of 19.2 When
energized, the 2 inner elements draw approximately
12.5 amps at 240 VAC. The 2 inner elements have a
combined resistance value of 19.2
To access the heater assembly, it is necessary to
remove the top panel, front panel, and drum. (See
Top Panel, Front Panel, and Drum.) Lead wires can
then be removed from the elements, inlet safety
thermostat, inlet control thermistor, and high limit
thermostat. (See Component Locator Views.) The
heater assembly is attached to the cabinet with 4
Phillips-head screws.
