• Regulates and directs gas to the oven/range burner when the control calls for heat
• Helps ensure consistent burner ignition and steady flame height
• Common symptom: burners or oven will not light or maintain a flame
• Can address intermittent ignition or loss of heat when valve sticks or fails

• Shut off gas supply and electrical power before beginning any repair
• Installation may require removing access panels and disconnecting gas and electrical connections
• Check all gas fittings for leaks after installation using a soapy-water test or approved leak detector

The Dryer Gas Valve Coil Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers, as well as Kenmore and Samsung dryers. It is a set of coils that control the flow of gas fuel to the burner. The gas valve regulates the precise amount of gas needed to properly combust and generate heat for drying clothes.

This conversion is necessary when a home or installation site lacks access to natural gas and relies on LP gas as the fuel source for heating appliances

Causes for needing an LP gas conversion kit include relocating the appliance to a home with LP gas, or preferring LP gas over natural gas for cooking efficiency or availability. The conversion process involves changing the orifices and adjusting the gas pressure to suit LP gas requirements.

Symptoms that indicate a need for conversion or issues with the current setup include:

• Improper or uneven flame on the burners
• Difficulty in lighting the burners
• Burners not operating at full power
• Gas smell indicating possible leaks or incorrect gas type
