Customer Questions and Answers for Burner Assembly (Gas Dryer) by Whirlpool

This burner assembly is the gas/air mixing and flame head for gas dryers. Replacing a warped or corroded burner restores reliable ignition and steady heat so loads dry evenly and cycle times return to normal.

• Mixes incoming gas with air and directs it to the igniter for proper light-off
• Produces a stable flame to heat the dryer's airflow
• Replaces burners that are bent, rusted, or clogged and affecting ignition
• Typical symptoms: no heat, burner won't light, intermittent heat, or long dry times

• Disconnect power, shut off gas, and allow the dryer to cool before servicing.
• Access the burner compartment; note component positions and wiring for reassembly.
• Protect the igniter and sensor mounted near the burner from impact.
• After reassembly, restore gas and check all connections with a leak-detection solution; verify proper ignition and flame.
