Whirlpool 3401092 warranty Remove screws before opening top

If your dryer is gas and has a full front panel, remove front panel as follows:

1.Unplug the power supply cord or turn off the electrical power.

2.Open lint screen lid. Remove two screws from lint screen area.

3.Open top by pulling forward and up at each front corner (see View A). Rest raised top against wall behind dryer (top is hinged at rear).

4.Remove two internal screws from front panel flanges (near top front corners). Lift front panel slightly, lifting off lower clips (see lower clip inset of View B). Slowly pull front panel forward, disengaging panel from drum. (Drum will drop slightly.)

5.Move front panel aside and rest edge against side of dryer. Avoid disconnecting wire clips (see wire clips inset of View B) or damaging wires.

6.Remove lint from area shown in "gas dryer" illustration on page 15 with soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Avoid damag- ing wires, funnel, or ignitor.

7.Reassemble in reverse order. Before closing the top, check the following:

-Drum seal must be flared out (see drum seal insets of View B) and prop-

erly positioned against panel at back of drum. Rotate drum counterclockwise

one full turn to check drum seal.

-Belt should be centered and tight on dryer drum.

-Wire clips which hold the door switch wires must be anchored in slot in top of front panel (see wire clips inset of View B) and along top edge of side panel. Door wires must not touch drum when dryer is operating. See Warning,

page 15.

8.Replace top panel and lint screen screws. Top and front panels must be securely in place before operating dryer.
