Misting/Steam Valve; Front Panel - Haier GE UltraFresh GFD55ESSN Technical Service Manual

Misting/Steam Valve

The misting/steam valve is used during the Steam
Dewrinkle or Steam Refresh cycles. It provides
a mist of water that is sprayed into the drum,
allowing the clothing to become damp. As the
dryer tumbles the clothes, it heats the air, drying
the clothes and causing the wrinkles to fade while
refreshing the material. The valve is located at
the top rear of the cabinet.
Misting/Steam Valve Diagnosing
From the J502 connector on the main board,
check for approximately 1k-ohm. If there is no
reading, check harness and connections. If
harness and connections are good, replace the
valve.
Water Valve Removal
1. Remove the top panel (see Top Panel in the
Dryer Components section in this service
