Completing Dryer Installation
IMPORTANT: Take special note of specic areas listed below
assuring proper re-assembly of dryer.
1. Reassemble dryer in reverse order as the dryer was disas-
sembled referencing previous instruction photographs and
following the steps below.
2. Slide the drum and drum belt making sure the drum is sitting
on the rear drum support rollers (Figure 10) and the belt is
not catching anything underneath.
3. When reattaching drum belt, verify belt grooves are toward
the drum outer surface. Lift up on the idler pulley arm and loop
the belt into position as shown in Figure 9. Slowly release the
idler arm putting tension on the belt. Slightly lift up on drum
front and slowly rotate to verify belt is seated correctly.
4. When swinging the front bulkhead and lint duct assembly
to the dryer front, be aware that the lint duct bottom edge
clears and resides inside the front lip of the base panel.
See Figure 27.

5. Hang the front bulkhead by its two (2) hooks as shown in
Figure 8.
6. Seat the front bulkhead rollers up under the drum lip by
pressing on the bottom edge of the bulkhead door opening
with one hand while turning the drum clockwise with your
other hand. Verify they are seated and the drum felt seals
are not rolled over. Reattach four (4) screws in the bulkhead
corners. See Figure 7.
7. Reattach two (2) screws in the lint duct and reconnect the
moisture strip connector. See Figure 6.
8. Reconnect the drum light connector. See Figure 5.
9. Re-hang the front panel and door assembly to the front of the
dryer (See Figure 4) and connect the door switch connector
(See Figure 3).
