DO NOT

NOTE: When exhausting from the side or bottom, a vent kit is available as publication
#14-A018. The vent kit replaces the existing duct inside the dryer to allow a 90 elbow
to vent the dryer out the side or bottom. The kit consists of a 6 1/2 long, 4 diameter
metal duct with attached mounted bracket and instructions. A 90 elbow is not supplied
and must be provided by the installer.

DRYER OPERATION
2 Phillips screws

The dryer drum rotates clockwise at 48 54 rpm

as viewed from front. On electric models, air is
drawn into the heater housing and across the
open coils of the electric heater. On gas models,
air is drawn into the combustion chamber and over
the burner flame. The air is then pulled through
the tumbling clothes, picking up moisture and lint.
Lint is filtered out as air passes from the drum,
across the filter screen and into the blower duct,
where it is discharged out the vent. The bias
control thermostat, according to the setting of the
fabric selector switch, controls the air temperature.
The length of the drying cycle is controlled by the
number of minutes selected on the timer or automatically controlled by the timer, in conjunction
with the thermostat, for the type of fabric selected
(automatic dry cycles).

Starting at the top edge, pull the front panel forward.

3 guide clips align the front panel to the sides. Once
the clips are released, lift the front panel to remove.

ACCESSING THE DRYER COMPONENTS

Top Panel Removal

Guide Clips

The top panel is held in place by two spring clips

located at the front of the dryer and two tabs located
at the back. To release the clips, use a stiff putty
knife inserted between the top and front panel at
the locations shown at right. Holding the putty knife
in a horizontal position, push in on one spring clip to
release that edge of the top. Repeat with the other
clip, lift the top at the front and disengage it from the
tabs at the rear.

Air Duct Seal

Front Panel Air Duct

The front panel air duct is glued to the front panel.
Should the air duct need to be replaced, an air duct
seal will also be required. The foam air duct seal is
gluded to the air duct and seals between the duct
and the opening for the blower wheel on the blower
housing. To replace the air duct or install a replacement front panel, remove the front panel, remove
the lint filter, remove the 2 Phillips screws from the
lint trap cover and remove the lint trap cover. Using
a sharp knife, cut the adhesive between the air duct
and the front panel. If reinstalling the original front
panel, use a putty knife to remove as much of the
old adhesive as possible. Apply adhesive along the
edge of the air duct and position it on the front panel.

Front Panel Removal

The remove the front panel, disconnect power and
remove the top panel. Once the top panel is off,
remove the two Phillips screws, one on each side,
located on the top inside edge of the front panel.
Disconnect the two wires from the door switch.

Apply a bead of WH60X20 adhesive on the air duct

seal and position it on the air duct. Reinstall the lint
trap cover and filter, front and top panel.

Rear Access Panel

The rear access panel allows access to view the
motor, centrifugal switch, idler pulley assembly, belt
and belt switch. The panel is secured to the back by
two Phillips screws.

Door Gasket
The door gasket is secured to the door panel by
tabs. To replace the gasket, pull the old gasket off
the inner door panel, align the new gasket tabs with
the slots in the door and press the gasket into place.

Mini Manual

Door Handle
The door handle is secured to the outer door panel
by tabs. To replace the door handle, remove the
door from the front panel and remove the screws
from the sides and bottom of the door. Separate
the inner and outer door panels. Release the tabs
that secure the door handle to the front panel.

Heat Deflector Shield

Drum Glide and Upper Seal

The drum glide is glued to the top outer edge of the
door opening and is a part of the felt upper drum
seal. To replace the drum glide/upper seal assembly,
raise the top panel, remove the two Phillips screws
on the front panel and pull the front panel towards
you. Remove the old seal assembly and glue the
new seal in place using WH60X20 adhesive.
Reinstall the front and the top panels.

Rear Access Panel

NOTE: Located on the rear of the dryer is a heat

deflector shield. The purpose of the shield is to
prevent someone from coming in contact with the
hot part of the cabinet near the heater. If you remove
the shield for any reason, make certain to reinstall
the shield upon dryer reassembly.
Drum Glide and Upper Seal

Lower Drum Seal

The lower drum seal is glued in place around the
outer lower edge of the door opening on the front
panel. To replace the lower seal, remove the top
panel and the front panel. Remove the old seal and
glue a new seal in place. Reinstall the front and top
panels.

Dryer Drum Removal

Drum Bearing

To remove the dryer drum, disconnect power and

remove the top and front panels. Next, remove the
yellow spacer/bumper attached to the top cross
brace by a Phillips screw.

The drum bearing mounts to the inside rear of the

dryer cabinet by means of a sheet metal bracket
secured by two 5/16 screws. To replace, remove
the two screws holding the bearing to the back of
the dryer. Note: A small steel ball is used to keep
the shaft aligned in the bearing. Thoroughly lubricate
the new bearing with lithium grease and reassemble.

Drum Spacer/Bumper

Remove the drive belt from the motor drive pulley

by reaching under the drum from the front or through
the rear access opening. Once the belt is loose, the
drum must be lifted
straight up to disengage
the drum shaft from the
Drum
drum bearing. Once the
Bearing
Drum
shaft ball is above the
Shaft
drum bearing cup, pull the
drum forward through the
cabinet opening.

Drum Shaft
The drum shaft is attached to the drum by three
Torx screws. To replace the drum shaft, align the
mounting holes and use a piece of tape to hold the
shaft in place while installing the Torx screws from
inside the drum. Thoroughly lubricate the shaft ball
with Lubriplate or a high quality lithium grease.

NOTE: If necessary, the drum shaft and bearing are

available as a kit under the part# WE25X10001. The
kit contains the drum shaft, shaft bearing, mounting
brackets, a steel ball, screws and a tube of Lubriplate,
a high quality lithium grease.

Drum Vanes
All three dryer drum vanes are replaceable. Each
vane is attached to the drum by two Phillips screws.

Dryer Controls

Timer

To access the dryer controls, disconnect power and

remove the four Phillips screws at the top of the
switch trim. Grasp the trim at the top and pull forward.
Three tabs at the bottom fit into slots on the top panel.

The timer is an electromechanical control with a 120v

drive motor. Depending upon the model, the timer
will control cycles for timed fluff (no heat), timed dry,
automatic cottons and/or automatic permanent
press. On a timed cycle, the timer motor receives
120 volts continuously for the number of minutes
selected for the cycle. When an automatic cycle is
chosen, the time will vary based of the quantity of
clothes and their moisture content. When the heat
source is on, the timer motor does not receive power.
When the clothes warm and the control thermostat
is satisfied, the heat is turned off and voltage is then
supplied to the timer motor. When the thermostat
cools, the heat is again turned on and the timer stops.
As the clothes dry, the control thermostat reaches
temperature faster and the timer motor receives
power more often until the end of cycle is reached.

SETTING

Start Switch
The start switch energizes the start windings on the
drive motor. It is a momentary contact, rotary switch.
To test the switch, remove the wires and check for
continuity between the switch terminals. There
should be continuity only while turning the switch
clockwise. Once released, the terminals should read
open. Should the switch need to be replaced, turn
the switch clockwise (as viewed from the back) to
release it from the switch trim.

Temperature Selector Switch

The rotary temperature selector switch, one of the
controls on the model DBL333, allows the customer
to select different temperature settings for drying.
The switch contains a 3K ohm resistor on the electric
model and a 2.4K ohm resistor on the gas model.
On the Medium setting, the selector switch
activates a control thermostat bias heater, which is
in series with the resistor on the switch. To check
the switch, disconnect power, remove the wires from
the switch and check
3

for continuity. With the
switch set on Regular
Resistor
setting, there should be
5
continuity only between
terminals 1 and 2. On
1
2
the Medium setting,
there should be
continuity only between
terminals 3 and 4. On a Fluff setting, there should
be no continuity between either set of terminals.

Timer Bar Chart

To diagnose the timer, use the timer bar chart located

on the mini manual behind the switch trim. Rotate
the timer to a point in the particular cycle you want
to check. Find the appropriate location the timer
pointer is set in the cycles across the first column.
Read vertically down the chart from that point. At
each point you cross a shaded row, the contacts
listed at the left on the same row should have
continuity. Note the shaded areas are proportional
to the total time, so take several continuity
measurements at different points within the cycle
before determining the timer needs replacement.

Depending on the dryer model, the timer can have

one or two resistors connected to it. Refer to the
wiring diagram with the dryer.

Door Switch
The door switch is a normally open switch wired in
series with the drive motor. When the door is closed
and the motor running, a circuit is completed through
the motors run winding. To test the switch, remove
the top panel and wires from the switch. When the
door is closed, the switch should read continuity.
When the door is open, the switch should read open.
To replace the switch, squeeze the retaining clips
together and pull the switch from the front of the
dryer.

Automatic Dry
Resistor

Control Thermostat and Bias Heater

Medium Heat
Resistor

On electric model dryers with an automatic dry cycle,

a 4.4K ohm resistor is used in series with the heater
to reduce the 240 volts to 120 volts and run the timer
motor when the control thermostat is open.
NOTE: The automatic dry cycle resistor resembles
a jumper wire between the terminals TM and R on
the timer.

The control thermostat regulates the temperature

inside the dryer drum. It is a single pole, single throw
switch wired in series with the high limit (or safety)
thermostat and the heat source. It is mounted on
the front of the blower housing. The control
thermostat also contains a bias heater. The purpose
of the bias heater is to apply a small amount of heat
to the control thermostat when the fabric selector
switch is set to the medium temperature setting. This
small amount of heat causes the thermostat to open
sooner to maintain a lower drum temperature.

THERMOSTAT
TERMINALS

4.4K OHM RESISTOR

BIAS HEATER
TERMINALS

A second type resistor will be used on gas or electric

model dryers with a medium heat setting. This
resistor is wired in series with the bias heater on the
control thermostat to cycle the thermostat at a lower
temperature.
To replace the timer, remove the timer knob and the
two Phillips screws under the knob.

NOTE:
The control thermostats are not interchangeable
between an electric and a gas dryer. The resistance
of the bias heater is 28K ohms on the electric dryer
and 7K ohms on the gas dryer.

10

To check the control thermostat, remove the wiring

from the terminals. At room temperature, the
thermostat should have continuity between the
control thermostat terminals. To check the bias
heater, remove the wiring from the bias heater
terminals. Check the resistance between the bias
heater terminals. On an electric dryer, the resistance
should be 28K ohms. On a gas dryer, the resistance
should be 7K ohms.

THERMAL
LIMITER

HIGH LIMIT
SAFETY
THERMOSTAT

To check for correct dryer temperatures, make

certain all panels are in place on the dryer and
remove the exhaust venting from the rear of the dryer.
Place a thermometer capable of reading at least
300F in the end of the dryer duct. Set the timer
and allow the dryer to operate for 10 minutes with
an empty drum. Check the temperature immediately
after the thermostat has cycled off and the dryer
has reached its highest temperature. Depending
upon the cycle selected, the temperatures should
be between 165F-195F on a High setting and
between 150F-180F for a Medium setting. If the
complaint is long drying times and the temperatures
are correct, check for a restricted vent, too long a
vent run, or an excessive number of turns in the vent.

High Limit (Safety) Thermostat

The high limit (safety) thermostat is a single pole,
single throw switch wired in series with the control
thermostat. It is mounted towards the top of the
heater pan shield at the rear of the drum. If the
control thermostat should fail closed or an air
blockage occurs, raising the temperature in the
heater pan, the high limit thermostat opens the circuit
to the heat source.

Thermal Limiter
The thermal limiter is wired in series with the drive
motor on all electric dryers. The purpose of the
thermal limiter is to shut down the dryer should the
control thermostat and the high limit thermostat fail
to open. Once the thermal limiter has opened, it
must be replaced. In addition, the condition that
caused it to open must be corrected. The most likely
cause would be an excessively long vent or a vent
with excessive turns. This is especially true if vinyl
or plastic venting was used.

Heat System (Electric Dryers)

The heater assembly is located behind the dryer
drum. Holes in the back of the drum allow heated
air to be drawn into the drum. The heating element
is an open coil heater, attached to a metal shroud
with ceramic standoffs. Check the heating element

by removing the drum and visually inspecting the

element for breaks. Remove the leads from the
heater terminals and check for 12 ohms across the
terminals, then check each terminal to ground. If
the element is open or grounded, replace the heating
assembly. To replace the heater assembly, remove
the four Phillips screws holding the assembly to the
cabinet back. Transfer the high limit (safety)
thermostat from the old heater shroud to the new
shroud and install the new assembly.

Heat System (Gas models)

Belt Switch
The belt switch is a normally closed switch and is
mounted on the motor bracket next to the idler arm.
If the drive belt breaks or jumps off the idler pulley,
the idler arm will contact the belt switch, causing the
switch contacts to open, and thereby opening the
circuit to the motor. To access the belt switch, remove
the access panel on the rear of the dryer. Remove
the leads from the switch and connect an ohmmeter
across the switch terminals. The ohmmeter should
read continuity when the belt is on.
CENTRIFUGAL SWITCH

The heating system for a gas dryer is comprised of

three main components, the ignitor, the flame sensor
switch, and the gas control valve.
The ignitor is a silicon carbide thermistor mounted
at an angle with the tip extending into the flame area.
Depending on room temperature, the resistance of
the ignitor should be between 50 to 400 ohms. The
ignitor is fragile and susceptible to contamination
from skin oils. Use only the ignitors insulated support
when handling to prevent damage. Electrically, the
ignitor is in parallel with the booster coil. The parallel
circuit of the ignitor and booster coil is in series with
the secondary coil on the gas valve. The series
parallel circuit of the ignitor, booster coil, and
secondary coil is in turn in parallel with the holding
coil on the gas valve. Note: During the auto dry
cycle, you will be able to read some voltage at the
ignitor whenever the dryer is operating.
The flame sensor switch mounts on the side of the
burner duct and is single pole, single throw switch.
When the ignitor reaches approximately 1800O F,
the flame sensor switch detects this high radiant heat
and opens. This energizes the secondary solenoid
gas valve coil, allowing gas to flow through the gas
valve. Gas flowing into the burner duct is ignited by
the still hot ignitor. The flame within the burner duct
heats the air being drawn into the back of the drum.

Motor
The drive motor is a single speed, dual shaft, hp,
1725 rpm motor with an automatic reset overload
protector. The overload protector in an internal
component of the motor and cannot be replaced
separately. The motor shaft is threaded on one end
for the blower wheel, with the belt pulley on the other.
The pulley is not available separately and comes
pressed on the shaft of a new motor.

The motor contains a centrifugal switch which serves

three purposes: It disengages the motor start
winding, engages the motor run winding and closes
the circuit for the heat source. When the motor is
off, the switch completes a circuit from M5 through
the motor start winding to M4. The contact M1 to
M2 is open. Immediately as the motor is started,
centrifugal force pulls the switch activating collar in
on the motor. This opens the circuit through the
start winding and completes the circuit M6 through
the run winding to M4. The contacts M1 to M2 close
to activate the heat source.

the cover in place.Note the retaining clips under the
aluminum tape at the bottom edge of the cover.
When reassembling, make certain the cover is
sealed to the housing with aluminum tape. If the
original tape cannot be reused, use aluminum tape
WD49X27 to seal the cover.

MOTOR OFF
Unscrew the blower wheel in a clockwise direction

To check the switch, disconnect the dryer from power
and remove the drum. If the motor starts to run and
stops when the start switch is released, place an
ohm meter across terminals M5 and M6 and
manually pull in on the collar to activate the switch.
You should read continuity. If the motor runs and
there is no heat, activate the switch and check
between M1 and M2. You should read continuity.
