Section 2 Introduction
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.

15. IGNITION CONTROL FLASHES
(Figure 1)
NOTE: This control will lock-out the igniter after four failed attempts at ignition. The control can be reset by
opening loading door, waiting 1 minute, then closing loading door.If door is closed before waiting 1 minute, the
control will re-enter lockout. The red light will flash a “Flash Code” when the control is in the lock-out mode. The
light will flash on for 1/4 second then off for 1/4 second for each number. The pause between flash codes is 2
seconds. These flashes are caused by the control’s diagnostic test and can be interpreted by reading the following:
