  • Page 45: Section E - How The Components Work

    SECTION E - HOW THE COMPONENTS WORK Clothes dryers remove moisture from clothes by pulling air, either warmed or room temperature, through the clothes while they are being tumbled by a turning drum. The moisture from the clothes is exhausted through the dryer vent system to the outside of the house.
  • Page 46: Electronic Control Board

    Electronic control board the plenum allow the air to be drawn across the heating element. In any cycle, other than Air Fluff, the heating element heats the air as it passes through. Airflow Since the moisture in the clothes is removed by air mov- ing through the drum, it is important to understand the complete air flow system.

    front of the dryer. Airflow gas dryers: The airflow in gas dryers is similar to electric dryers except for the heat source and the rear of the drum. The air enters the cavity through the louvered opening in the right rear corner of the dryer. The air is pulled across the gas burner, through the burner chamber and is ducted to the rear of the drum.
