M. HI-LIMIT (Gas Models ONLY)

A hi-limit thermostat is located at the burner. This is a manual reset disc-type thermostat set at 330º F (166º C). If the flame in the burner should get too hot, this thermostat will shut off the burner. This is generally caused by low airflow through the dryer.

N. AUTOMATIC RESET THERMOSTAT

This is located inside the dryer in the lint compartment above the lint drawer. This thermostat senses the heated air after it has passed through the tumbler (basket). If the air temperature gets too hot, the thermostat will shut off the burner. The dryer will not run until the air temperature cools down. At this time, the thermostat will reset. Tumbler (basket) and blower will run, but the dryer will not heat.

O. LINT DRAWER

The lint drawer is a pullout type and is located at the bottom of the dryer in the lint compartment. Simply grab the lint drawer handle, slide out the drawer, brush off the lint, and slide the drawer back in. The lint screen must be kept clean in order for the dryer to operate properly and efficiently.
