Hello,

I'm changing coils in my gas dryer and wondering if there is a diagram for this...which is more convenient to access the coils, front or back? Just looking for the fastest way...
thanks

Hi Leesa

To get access to all the parts inside the dryer, remove two screws at the lint screen slot and using a putty knife, push and pry the clip on each side in front of the top panel to release the holding clips. Lift up the top panel until it rests on the hinges. Unplug the quick disconnect plug for the door switch. Remove a screw from each side of the front panel. Pull the front panel up and toward yourself to release it from the retainer clips. Looking under the drum you'll find the idler pulley with the belt. Draw a picture of the belt that goes through the idler pulley onto the motor pulley so you will know how to assemble it back. Remove the belt and pull out the drum. Now you have access to all parts inside the dryer.

Good luck.
Gene.

Gene,

Thank you for the excellent instructions, especially the one to diagram the belt before I took it off! It didn't take long and I had the coils changed. (My children were very impressed) You were a life saver!!
Thanks again,
Leesa
