Customer Questions and Answers for Dryer Flame Sensor by Whirlpool

Hi Rico. Check the airflow to make sure it is strong and force full coming from the dryer. Then make sure your complete vent system is clear and the vent hood outside is working properly. Ohm the flame sensor beside the ignitor to see if it may be weak. It should remain closed until the proper temperature is reached. It is part # WP338906. More then likely your gas valve coils aer weak and opening during use. they are part # 279834.Dryer Gas Coils: Check the coils 279834 and see if they test good. You can test the coils using a multi-meter MA-DM1. The two prong coil will read 1,000-1,300 ohms, and the three prong coil will read 1,300-1,400 ohms across prongs 1&2, and 500-600 ohms across prongs 1&3. Thank you.
