Filtrator help needed.

[joelippard]

I'm having a bad run of luck with my dryers.  Now the Filtrator is down.  I have reason to believe that the reset button is faulty.  I want to replace this button and I have a spare but how do I access this properly?  As you can see here I have removed the top, it does not appear that the back panel portion behind the controls is removable.  This switch has these odd looking grommets in place with screws coming through the other side.  I do not have a filtrator service manual and need to know to to properly access and replace this button.

 

Thanks,

Joe

Should have added

this is my '55 filtrator, the reset button is located in the top of the dryer, on the left side, just beyond the chrome trim.

Fixed!

Finally figured it out myself.  For the archives:  You must remove the timer and temperature knobs, then the pilot lamp cover, then the chrome trim piece, underneath it are the screws that hold in the reset switch assembly.  Luckily I had a spare reset button.  The whole thing took about 30 minutes and now we're back to Filtrating again.

Beautiful dryer!

and I'm not just saying that because I have the same model

Thanks, I like the look of the '55 too.  I'd like to find the washer to match it someday.
