NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of the heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.
When cleaning dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of appliances is recommended.
Adjustments
7 Days After Installation
and Every 6 Months Thereafter
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, setscrews, grounding connections, and nonpermanent gas connections (unions, shutoff valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed belts should be replaced. Tighten loose
Lubrication
The motor bearings and under normal/most conditions the tumbler and idler bearings are permanently lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the tumbler and idler bearings if you choose to do so even though this practice is not necessary. Use Shell Alvania #2 or its equivalent. The tumbler and idler bearings used in the dryer do not have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a grease fitting, which can be obtained elsewhere, or from ADC by ordering kit Part No. 882159 (tumbler ONLY), which includes 2 fittings.
