How Your Dryer Works
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
circulates through the wet load. The air then passes
through the lint filter, air duct, and exhaust fan, where
it is vented to the outdoors.

• Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer(s) before servicing.
• Never start the dryer(s) with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
