To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death;
disconnect power to unit before servicing.
Disassembly Procedures
6. From back of dryer, remove four screws holding
Tumbler Back Assembly.
7. Remove the assembly.
Back Seal
1. Disconnect power supply to unit.
2. Remove Tumbler Back Assembly.
Note: For ease in servicing, we recommend removal
of the Tumbler Back Assembly from the dryer.
This will ensure the felt seal is secured
properly.
3. Remove the old felt seal by prying the locking tabs
out with a flat-blade screwdriver.
Note: Pay close attention to the location of the seal
overlap. This will be important as you install
the new seal.

Tumbler Rides on
Light-Colored Side
of Felt.
Note: When reinstalling, the seal will be mounted to the
tumbler back in a clockwise rotation. Start at the
11:00 position and place under the locking tabs.
The seal will overlap 1 1/4". The coated side
(which is the lighter of the two colors) goes
against the tumbler. The seal is then looped in a
"U" shape so the lighter colored side is against
the tumbler back as it is slid in place under the
tabs. Bend tabs back over seal with a flat-bladed
screwdriver.
