Repair tips for this issue

Good to know

6 technician insights for the this appliance

Two-part disassembly for different service approaches

The manual provides two different disassembly paths for accessing the heater, compressor fan, and pump: standard front disassembly (removing Frame Front, Drum Front, etc.) and working from the rear by removing the Cover Back. The rear approach may be faster for heater replacement and pump service when the dryer is installed in a tight space. Choose the approach based on installation context.

Steam cycle water condensation is normal

Water dripping from the nozzle when Steam cycles start is normal -- this is steam condensation, not a leak. Similarly, sprayed water may not be visible during steam cycles. Customers often report this as a problem, but it is expected behavior of the Steam Sanitize+ and Refresh cycles.

LPG conversion requires specific orifice spud AND regulator changes

Converting a gas dryer from natural gas (LNG) to LP gas (LPG) requires three changes: (1) Replace the orifice spud (No. 43 LNG to No. 54 for 22,000 BTU or No. 55 for 20,000 BTU), (2) Remove the leak limiter from the pressure regulator and install the regulator block open plug, (3) Adjust the air shutter by loosening the screw and rotating until the 'LP' end contacts the screw. Always verify the orifice spud number before changing. LP manifold pressure should be 11 in. or 10.7 in. W.C.P.

LP gas conversion procedure

Gas models

Converting from natural gas to LP requires four changes: (1) Replace the orifice spud from No. 43 (LNG) to No. 54 or 55 (LPG), (2) Remove the leak limiter from the top of the pressure regulator, (3) Install the regulator block open plug and tighten moderately, (4) Rotate the air shutter until the LP slot contacts the screw and tighten. The LP gas converted dryer should have an input of 20,000-22,000 BTU/hr with a manifold pressure of 10.7-11 in. W.C.P.
