Section 4 Component Teardown - Frigidaire Dryer Servicing

Component Teardown
This section explains how to access and remove components from a Frigidaire Affinity or Gallery Series Dryer, and has
been arranged in such a way as to simulate which components would need to be removed first in order to gain access
to other components. When following a component removal procedure, it may be necessary to reference another
component removal procedure listed earlier in this section.
IMPORTANT
Before continuing, please take note of the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS below.
WARNING
Before servicing or moving an appliance:
• Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet, trip the circuit breaker to the OFF position, or remove
the fuse.
• Turn off the gas supply for Gas Dryers.
- If it is necessary to remove a Dryer unit from its installation, use proper lifting techniques as units are heavy
and could fall resulting in serious injury or death. Pulling a unit from its installation should only be performed
by a trained authorized service technician or installer.
- After service is completed, be sure all safety-grounding circuits are complete, all electrical connections are
secure, and all access panels are in place.
- If unit was used prior to service, the heater assembly will be hot. Wear protective gloves and the appropriate
safety gear when working with heating assemblies.
- If removing a door from a unit, remember that the doors are heavy. If they were to fall, they could cause
serious personal injury.
CAUTION
- Metal edges may be sharp. Use caution and wear appropriate safety equipment when servicing dryers to avoid
personal injury.
- If working in the motor area, remember that the heater element and tubing may be hot if used prior to
service and during testing.
