To replace the motor capacitor in a White Knight 437 tumble dryer:
1. Unplug the dryer from the power supply for safety. 2. Access the back panel by removing the screws holding it in place. 3. Locate the capacitor, usually near the motor. It is a cylindrical component with two terminals. 4. Discharge the capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver to avoid electric shock. 5. Disconnect the wires from the capacitor, noting their positions. 6. Remove the old capacitor, usually held by a clamp or bracket. 7. Install the new 8μF capacitor, securing it in place and reconnecting the wires as before. 8. Reattach the back panel and screws. 9. Plug in and test the dryer to ensure it starts properly.
Make sure the replacement capacitor is compatible with the White Knight 437 model.

DO NOT exceed the recommended maximum load. DO NOT dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer DO NOT place articles in the dryer if anything other than a water solution has been used in the cleaning process. DO NOT use the tumble dryer if you suspect that it is damaged in any way.
INSTALLATION The tumble dryer is fully compatible with any 600mm deep kitchen units and complies with stringent EEC regulations. Your dryer is provided with a vent hose which will extend to approx 2.4m (8ft). We strongly recommend that this is vented through the wall with the attachment provided. The position of the hole (100mm diameter) for the vent directly behind the tumble dryer is shown in the diagram.
THE FILTER The filter is found, as seen from the diagram, by opening the door and must always be in position when drying items in the appliance. To allow the dryer to operate efficiently it should be cleaned after each drying cycle. Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff deposited on the mesh.
OPERATION Sort out the clothes into groups of similar fabrics and colours. Check the care label inside the garment. We suggest that a fabric conditioner be used to reduce static electricity. Delicate articles e.g. tights should be placed inside a pillowcase.
DOOR REVERSAL APPLIANCE DOOR The door on the dryer can be positioned either with the left or right hand hinging. Please follow illustrations below to change the door position. THE DECOR DOOR The hinges can be fastened through the pre-drilled holes on either the left or right hand with the door stops being fitted on the other side.
