Manifold and Burner Assembly Breakdown
(All Gas Models)
In order to separate the manifold from valve body, the
burner assembly must be removed from the valve body.
A screw at the rear of the unit secures the manifold to
rear frame as well as two screws securing the manifold
to unit base. All electrical connections must be
disconnected prior to removing the manifold.
To remove the manifold and burner assembly:
1. Shut off gas supply to dryer.
2. Disconnect the dryer from electrical supply, then
remove the top panel, rear panel, console, front
panel, front inner panel and drum.
3. Disconnect all electrical connections from gas valve,
coils, ignitor and wire harness. (See Figure 4-41)
4. Using a #2 square bit screwdriver, extract the screw
from the rear of the unit base securing the manifold
mount to the unit base. (See Figure 4-43)
5. Extract the two screws from the manifold mount
located beneath the combustion tube.
(See Figure 4-43)
6. Extract the screw from the bent down tab at the
entrance of the combustion tube. (See Figure 4-43)
7. The gas valve and burner assembly with the
manifold attached, can now be pulled out of the
combustion tube.
8. Using a #2 square bit screwdriver, extract the
screws securing the burner assembly to the gas
valve mounting bracket. (See Figure 4-44)
9. Extract the three screws securing the gas valve
mounting bracket to the gas valve and manifold.
Remove the gas valve mounting bracket from the
assembly. (See Figure 4-43)
10. Extract the screw securing ignitor to the gas valve
mounting bracket. Lift ignitor off the tab and remove
from bracket. (See Figure 4-44)
11. Separate the manifold from gas valve by using a
1-3/16" open end wrench or a large adjustable
wrench, and grabbing the gas valve body on the
square section directly above the manifold. Turn gas
valve body counter clockwise to remove.
