Whirlpool CEM2743BQ Installation Instruction

1.  Prepare dryer for leveling legs
NOTE: Slide dryer onto cardboard or hardboard before moving 

to avoid damaging floor covering. 

Using two or more people, move dryer to desired installation 

location. 
Take tape off front corners of dryer. Open dryer and remove  

the literature and parts packages. Wipe drum interior with a 

damp cloth to remove any dust. 
Take two cardboard corners from the dryer carton and place 

them on the floor in back of the dryer. Firmly grasp the body of 

the dryer and gently lay it on its back on the cardboard corners.

1.  Install coin slide and coin box
Remove the service door of the meter case by lifting it up 

at the back. Install the money-accepting device. (Refer to 

manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.)

For dryers using coin slides, use the adapter kit supplied with 

the dryer.
Replace the meter case service door. Put the coin vault with 

lock and key in the meter case opening.
Remove cardboard or hardboard from under dryer. Adjust the 

legs of the dryer up or down until the dryer is level.

2.  Install added security device
Check that power is not supplied to the dryer.
Open and remove the service door.
Insert the narrow part of the security cone into the oblong hole 

in the bottom rear of the meter case assembly.
Pass the security bolt through this cone and thread it by hand 

into the cage nut below the oblong hole.
Tighten the security bolt by hand a few turns before using a 

wrench to tighten until snug.

NOTE: Installing the security bolt provides added security, but 

will add to the service time when the top needs to be removed 

for servicing the dryer.

2.  Screw in leveling legs 
Examine leveling legs and find diamond  

marking. Screw legs into leg holes by  

hand. Use an adjustable wrench or  

1" (25 mm) hex-head socket wrench  

to finish turning legs until diamond  

marking is no longer visible. Then fit  

a covered foot boot over each leg foot.
To protect the floor, use a large piece of cardboard from the 

dryer carton. Stand dryer up on the cardboard. Slide the dryer 

until it is close to its final location. Leave enough room for 

electrical connection and to connect the exhaust vent.

On some models: The meter case houses the factory-installed 

accumulator timer with actuating arm or service switch.
The factory-installed timer is set to provide 45 minutes (4 pins) 

of drying time when activated by the coin slide. Timer cams 

for 30-minute (6 pins) and 60-minute (3 pins) drying times are 

included in the parts bag.
The coin slide mechanism, service door lock and key, and coin 

box lock and key may not be included but are available from 

the usual industry sources.
