This replacement gas valve controls gas flow to the burner in a gas dryer, enabling safe ignition and consistent heat. When it fails, the burner may not light and loads can stay damp; replacing it restores proper drying performance.
- Opens and closes gas flow to the burner when heat is called for
- Shuts off gas when the cycle ends or heating is not active
- Common symptoms: dryer runs but has no heat or the burner never ignites
- May present as the ignitor glowing or clicking repeatedly without flame, or intermittent heat
What's included: One gas valve assembly. Install notes:
- Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
- Work in a ventilated area and allow the dryer and burner to cool
- Use only gas-rated thread sealant on threaded connections
- After installation, turn on gas and check all joints for leaks with a soap-and-water solution
For gas dryers only.

The gas Dryer would not dry clothes because the pilot would ignite but the gas would turn on for a moment then turn off. Eventually the gas would not come on at all. Kenneth S. • Columbus , MI • March 24, 2014
I decided the problem was with the gas valve and I found the part on your web site. I ordered it and received the part in 3 days. I replaced the valve and the dryer works like new! This also gave me an opportunity to vacuum out the dust/lint that collects in and around the dryer.
