GAS VALVE/IGNITION SYSTEM REMOVAL:

Be sure to shut off the gas main and then proceed to remove electrical connections and screws indicated. Remove lower front panel. Disconnect union and screws noted with arrows.

The gas valve and burner orifice can now be carefully pulled toward the front of the dryer.

Be sure to pull the assembly straight back so as not to strike the very fragile carbon ignitor. With the assembly partly out of the oven, the ignitor and the two gas valve electrical connections can be disconnected. At this point the assembly can be removed from the dryer.

Replace assembly in the reverse order but make sure the tab at the rear of the assembly engages into the oven base slot.

Inspect all wires to be sure all lead directly toward the front of the dryer. Be sure no wires are caught on the burner tube or ignitor.

OVEN CHAMBER REMOVAL:

The oven chamber can be removed after the gas valve/ignition system has been removed.

Remove the two screws indicated by the arrows. Pull the oven housing part way out through the front and disconnect all wire connections. The oven housing can now be removed.

Replace assembly by leading the housing cone into the hole in the rear wall. Replace screws and wire connections.
