Section 2 Introduction

How Your Dryer Works

The dryer uses heated air to dry loads of laundry. When

the motor is started, the exhaust fan pulls room

temperature air in through louvers at the rear of the

dryer and over the heat source (burner flame for gas

and heating element for electric). The heated air moves

through the heater duct and into the cylinder, where it

circulates through the wet load. The air then passes

through the lint filter, air duct, and exhaust fan, where

it is vented to the outdoors.

• Disconnect electric power to the dryer(s) before servicing.

• Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer(s) before servicing.

• Never start the dryer(s) with any guards/panels removed.

• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
