Fuses
These models utilize fuses to protect components
from damage. All fuses are located behind the
access panel. (See
Component Locator Views
The gas models utilize a single 15-amp fuse installed
in series with L1. The electric models employ two
30-amp fuses, 1 in series with L1 and 1 in series with
L2. (See
Wiring Diagrams
Excessive current draw in any dryer circuit will open
the fuse. An open fuse on the gas model will result in
a totally inoperative dryer.
On the electric model, an open fuse in the L1 supply
(fuse connected to red wires) will result in a totally
inoperative dryer. An open fuse in the L2 supply
(fuse connected to black wires) will allow the washer
to operate and the dryer motor to function, but the
dryer will not heat. Identify and correct the problem
when replacing an open fuse.
Note: Power from the house circuit enters on the
right side of the fuse holder.

Control Panel

It is necessary to place the control panel in the
service position to access the washer controls, dryer
start switch, dryer timer, and voltage-dropping
resistor (electric models). The control panel is
attached to the dryer with 6 Phillips-head screws
(27-in. models) or 5 Phillips-head screws (24-in.
models).
To place the control panel in the service position:
1. Pull the dryer timer knob straight out from the
control panel.
2. Open the door.
3. On 27-in. models, remove 6 Phillips-head screws,
2 on each side of the control panel and 2 from
the top of the control panel.
4. On 24-in. models, remove 5 Phillips-head screws,
1 on each side of the control panel and 3 on the
top of the control panel.
5. Tilt the panel forward.
