4.5 Automatic Drain ValveDisassembly and Servicing
Dryer models LS185 and larger have a timer controlled au-
tomatic drain valve.
CAUTION: Do not disassemble the drain valve timer or
attempt to repair electrical parts. Replace timer if defec-
tive.
The automatic drain valve discharges condensate through
a full-port drain opening. The valve body may need to be
cleaned under conditions of gross particulate contamina-
tion.
To disassemble the automatic drain valve body for cleaning
or other maintenance (refer to Figure 4.1):
1. Disconnect main power supply to dryer.
2. Lock out and tag power supply in accordance with
OSHA requirements.
