Whirlpool CEM2793BQ Installation Instruction

2.  Grip dryer from top and rock back and forth, making sure all 

four legs are firmly on floor. Repeat, rocking dryer from side 

to side. If dryer rocks, go to Step 3 and adjust leveling legs.

3.  If dryer is not level, use a 1" or 25 mm open-end or 

adjustable wrench to turn the leveling leg counterclockwise 

to lower the dryer or clockwise to raise the dryer. Recheck 

levelness of dryer and that all four legs are firmly in contact 

with the floor. Repeat as needed. 
HELPFUL TIP: You may want to prop up front of dryer about 

4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that will 

support weight of dryer.

1.  Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the 

correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding 

method. See “Electrical Requirements.”

2.  Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, 

go back through the steps.

3.  Check that you have all of your tools.
4.  Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

5. Plug into a grounded outlet, or connect power.

6.  Check dryer operation (on some models, some accumulated 

time may be on the timer due to factory testing). Close dryer 

door. Depending on model, turn timer-set knob to the right 

or insert coins and press slide in slowly. (Operating time will 

accumulate per number of coinslide depressions, depending 

on model, and type of timing cam used.) Push START button. 

Using a full heat cycle (not the air cycle), let the dryer run for  

at least five minutes. Dryer will stop when time is used up.
NOTE: Dryer door must be closed for dryer to operate.  

When door is open, dryer stops, but timer continues to run. 

To restart dryer, close door and push START button.

7.  Open the dryer door. Check that the inside of the dryer is 

warm. If the burner does not ignite and you can feel no heat 

inside the dryer, shut off dryer for five minutes. Check that 

all supply valve controls are in “ON” position and that the 

electrical cord is plugged in. Repeat five-minute test.

8.  If drying time is too long, make sure that the lint screen is 

clean and that there are no obstructions to airflow in the 

dryer vent system.

9.  Restart the dryer and allow it to complete a full heat cycle 

(not air cycle) to make sure it is working properly.
