General Clothes Dryer Disassembly Question
Hi:
A friend has asked me to repair her electric clothes dryer. Problem- She dropped an object (possibly a pen) into the lint trap jamming the drum. She has done this before and the service tech repared it in 15 minutes (she says). She seems to think that I, the inexperienced, can do it in this time too. I told here to be prepared for a long day :-) She is trying to avoid the service call by employing me for coffee and donuts. First- I am a reasonably mechanically/electrically competent person and will not be electrocuting myself but have never taken apart a dryer. She says, based on past service history that the face of the dryer needs to be removed and the drum removed to remove the foreign object. Of course, I will see if the offending object can be fished out of the lint trap orifice before attempting major surgery. I have never done this so any hints as to how to proceed would be appreciated. I cannot see how to get the front of the dryer off. I have not yet seen her dryer but looking at my own and they seem to all be similar there is a seem but are there hidden clips behind the outer cases ? I'm guessing the top comes off first. Are any special tools required as she has none of her own. I have a good selection. Thanks in advance for any and all replies. John Buffett |
