Moisture Sensor - Amana LG4219*2 Service Manual

a W A R N I N G
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
•Disconnect electric power to the dryer before servicing.
•Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer before servicing.
•Never start the dryer with any guards/panels removed.
•Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be
reconnected to ensure that the dryer is properly grounded.
j. Front Cylinder Seal (Figure 39)
When installing the cylinder seal, it is
important to remember these two important
steps:
(1) The stitching on the seal must face
towards the dryer center, Figure 39.
(2) The short flap, Figure 39, must be glued to
the bulkhead and the long flap left loose.
IMPORTANT: The replacement seal can be
adhered to the bulkhead using No. 22506P
Sealant. This is accomplished by applying a
bead of sealant around the entire flanged area
where the felt seal contacts the bulkhead.

35. MOISTURE SENSOR

a. While supporting the lower access panel,
remove two screws from bottom edge of lower
access panel, Figure 22.
b. Gently lower the access panel to disengage
guide lugs from bottom edge of front panel.
c. Remove two screws holding bottom tabs on
front panel to dryer side panels, Figure 22.
Swing bottom of front panel away from dryer
far enough to disengage hold-down clips and
guide lugs from cabinet top.
d. Disconnect wires from door switch, Figure 21.
e. Open loading door, remove lint filter screws
and lift lint filter out of bulkhead, Figure 9.
Figure 39
a W A R N I N G
When installing lint filter, be sure to
install the filter with the word "FRONT"
facing the front of the dryer. If filter is
installed backwards, lint will
accumulate in exhaust system, causing
fire and machine malfunction.
f. Remove two screws holding duct to front
bulkhead and remove air duct, Figure 37
a W A R N I N G
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death by carbon monoxide and other
gases in gas dryers, carefully read and
follow all instructions given in this
s e c t i o n .
IMPORTANT: When reassembling, be sure felt
seal on exhaust fan cover makes airtight seal on
flange of duct, Figure 27. If the seal is installed
improperly, the airflow through the exhaust
system will be restricted which can adversely
affect dryer performance.
g. Disconnect two wires connected to the
moisture sensor, Figure 40.
h. Using a pliers, pinch in the locking tabs on the
moisture sensor bar and push the sensor bars
out of the mounting bracket.
i. Remove the screw (located inside lower front
bulkhead) holding moisture sensor mounting
bracket to bulkhead, Figure 40.
