Section 4 Component Teardown
This section will describe how to access and remove
serviceable components from the dryer. Unless stated,
the procedure will be the same on all models. Unless
stated, reverse the procedure to reinstall the component.
Removing the Door (Affinity Models)
1. Protect a flat work surface, such as top of dryer or
floor near dryer, with a soft cloth or towel.
2. Open dryer door and remove the two hinge screws
with a Phillips screwdriver. Remove lower screw
first, then upper screw. (See Figure 4-1)
3. Supporting door with both hands, squarely lift door
and hinge upward approximately 3/8" (10 mm) so
"T" post on back of hinge can slide out through "T"
slot on front panel. (See Figure 4-2)
4. Gently place dryer door face down on flat, covered
work surface.
5. Locate the 5 indented head screws (no. 1-5) in the
small, circular recesses (at 11, 1, 4, 6, and 8 o'clock
positions) of the inner door. Remove and save these
5 screws. (See Figure 4-3)
IMPORTANT
Do not attempt to remove the 2 "tamper resistant"
screws that hold the inner glass in place.
6. Locate the 2 pan head screws (no. 6-7) on the inner
door nearest the metal strike and center of hinge
(9 and 3 o'clock positions). Remove and save these
2 screws. (See Figure 4-3)
7. Separate inner door assembly from outer door
assembly.
