LINT BOX/BLOWER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL:

Unplug the motor harness.

Remove two screws just above the lint drawer and pull the lint box down from the front and out slightly. Unplug the exhaust temperature probe.

Unplug two connections on the exhaust hi-limit at the left of the lint box. The lint box may now be pulled out through the front of the dryer.

HI-LIMIT

To remove motorized impellor assembly, remove lint housing cover, lint screen, and the four screws shown with arrows. Pull the motorized impellor assembly out through the opening.

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.
