How Your Dryer Works
1. Lint Filter
2. Cylinder
3. Exhaust Fan
4. Gas Valve
5. Air Duct
6. Heater Duct
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 cir-
culates through the wet load. The air then passes through the lint
filter, air duct, and exhaust fan, where it is vented to the outdoors.
The dryer has an automatic drying feature. At cycle start, when
fabric is wet and the temperature inside dryer is cool, the heat
source (burner on gas models and heating element on electric
models) is energized and heats the cylinder until operating tem-
perature (as set on Fabric Selector) is reached. Power is not sup-
plied to timer motor while heat source is energized during an au-
tomatic cycle. The heat source runs for longer periods of time in
the beginning of the cycle, when it is working to reach the operat-
ing temperature, resulting in very little timer advancement. As
the fabric dries and the cylinder heat is maintained, the heat
source is powered less, allowing the timer to advance to cycle
end. If dryer heats but timer does not advance, refer to No Timer
Advance in Automatic Cycles.

Troubleshooting
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion,
serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the dryer before
servicing.
• Close gas shut-of valve to gas dryer before serv-
icing.
• Never start the Dryer with any guards/panels re-
moved.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during serv-
icing, these ground wires must be reconnected to
ensure that the dryer is properly grounded.
W001R1
IMPORTANT: Refer to wiring diagram for aid in testing
dryer components.
No Timer Advance in Automatic Cycles
For a description of Automatic drying feature, refer to How Your
Dryer Works. If dryer heats but the timer does not advance, per-
form the following service procedures:
Electric Dryers
1. Remove any damp clothing from the dryer.
2. Set the timer to an Automatic cycle. Set fabric selector switch
to Regular.
3. Remove the top 3 screws holding the control hood to the rear
panel.
4. Start dryer by pushing in timer knob.
5. Using a volt/ohm meter set to AC voltage, measure the volt-
age across terminal “T” and terminal “M” on timer. Refer to
Figure 2 .
6. Meter should read no voltage when the unit is first started and
the dryer is still heating. Continue to monitor these points un-
til the heating element has shut off (this will take several mi-
nutes even with an empty load). When the heating element
shuts off, meter should read 120 Volts and the timer motor
should advance the cycle.
7. If meter does not read 120 Volts after the unit has reached
proper operating temperature use meter to check for 120 AC
Voltage between terminal “A” and terminal “N” (neutral) on
the timer.
8. If voltage is present, recheck voltage between “T” and “M”.
9. If voltage is present, but timer does not advance, replace tim-
er.
10. If meter does not read 120 Volts at “A” and “N”, check the
wire connections at the heating element and timer (blue/black
wire). If the connections are good, UNPLUG dryer, remove
wire at terminal “A” on timer and perform an ohms check on
wire continuity between the heating element and timer. If the
wire shows continuity, replace timer.
