Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician or a knowledgeable DIYer familiar with dryer disassembly. Disconnect power to the dryer and, for gas models, shut off the gas supply before beginning any service work. Use the appropriate hand tools to remove and replace the fastener without over-tightening, which can strip threads or crack mounting surfaces. Refer to the model-specific service manual for disassembly sequence and fastener placement.
