Rear Drum Panel - Removal

1. Open the front Door of the Dryer.
2. Turn the drum by hand so that the two larger holes are
horizontally across from each other; as shown in Figure 5-7.
3. Place a 5mm. Allen Wrench through each hole and completely
loosen both bolts by turning them counterclockwise, until you
feel them release from the threads.
Service Tip
The bolts will not fall out even when completely loosened.
Figure 5-7: Drum positioned with the two largest holes
horizontal; this permits access to the Drum Bearing Bolts.
4. Remove the six (6) Allen Head Bolts from the perimeter of the
rear panel.
5. From inside the drum, push the drum upward and pull the rear
panel outward to remove.
Service Tip
If the panel does not release when the drum is lifted in step 5;
ensure the two bolts in step 3 (Figure 5-7) 8 are completely
loosened.
Note
The Rear Drum Panel will not fit through the front Door.
Reposition the panel within the drum area – as needed, during
servicing. Do not place unnecessary weight or pressure on the
panel.
