Preventive Maintenance Instructions
DAILY
LINT REMOVAL
Refer to Figure 33.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, do not
open the lint panel while the tumbler is in
operation. Open tumbler door and allow
cylinder to completely stop before
cleaning lint screen.
1. Open the lint panel.
2. Remove all accumulated lint in the lint compartment
area. Lightly brush any lint that may be left on the lint
screen. Lint left in the lint compartment is drawn
back onto the lint screen and will restrict proper air
circulation.
3. Be sure the lint screen is not torn. If it is, replace
immediately. A torn lint screen allows lint to pass
from the tumbler to the ductwork system, thus
creating a restriction to air circulation.

4. The lint screen is designed to completely cover the
entire opening in the lint screen hood. Be sure that it
does so. Excessive gaps between the lint screen and
the lint screen hood allows lint to pass into the
ductwork system.
5. Wipe any accumulated lint off of the thermostat
sensing probe, cabinet hi-limit thermostat (if
applicable) or thermistor (micro models). Failure to
do so will allow a buildup of lint in this area to act as
an insulator and cause overheating in the tumbler.
6. Replace the lint panel on the tumbler, ensuring a tight
W079
fit and lock.
7. Keep dryer area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids.
