Parts for Whirlpool WGD86HEBC0: 05 - Burner Assembly Parts

This burner tube channels the gas-air mixture to the burner and includes an adjustable air shutter to set proper combustion. Replacing a damaged assembly helps restore reliable ignition, stable flame, and consistent heating performance.

• Directs the fuel/air mixture from the gas valve to the burner port
• Integrated adjustable shutter regulates primary air for proper flame
• Helps maintain efficient heat output and reliable burner operation
• Failure can present as no or intermittent heat, burner that lights then goes out, yellow/lazy flame, or soot

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply; allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Access the burner compartment and transfer any clips/brackets from the original tube
• Note the current shutter position; after installation, adjust for a steady blue flame
• After reassembly, leak-test gas connections with a soap solution and verify burner operation

This bracket is used to attach and is included in the igniter kit. Save money by ordering the igniter kit 279311.

The Igniter Kit and Bracket is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. It is a kit that includes the igniter and bracket assembly, which work together to ignite the gas or electric heating element. 

Causes of a bad igniter and bracket can include failure due to prolonged or repeated use, damage from impact or mishandling, or failure of integrated electronic components. 

Symptoms of a bad igniter and bracket include: 

• The dryer not heating or heating intermittently
• Repeated trips of the thermal fuse 
• Smell of gas indicating improper ignition
• Visible damage or cracks in the igniter or bracket

This Whirlpool replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

• Fastens panels, brackets, or assemblies to prevent rattling and vibration
• Restores proper alignment for doors, control panels, or trim pieces
• Helps stop intermittent noise caused by loose hardware
• Use when original screw is missing, stripped, or corroded

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver bit and hand-tighten; avoid over-torquing which can strip threads
• Keep small parts away from children and pets; magnetic tray helps prevent loss
• If multiple screws are corroded or hardware threads are damaged, inspect mating parts and replace as needed

A replacement mounting screw to secure appliance panels and components so parts stay properly fastened during normal use. Small but essential hardware for stable, rattle-free operation and reliable repairs. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets or components to the appliance chassis
• Prevents loose panels, vibration noise, or parts shifting during operation
• Used when original screw is lost, damaged, or stripped
• Restores proper fit and alignment after disassembly for service

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Use the correct screw type and length; do not force or substitute oversized fasteners
• Tighten until snug—avoid overtightening to prevent stripped threads or cracked parts
• Keep small parts away from children and pets

This 8-18 x 5/8-inch screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and covers. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a tight fit and helps prevent vibration or loosening where this exact size is specified.

• Fastens sheet-metal or plastic components where a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is called for
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce rattling or vibration
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws of the same size
• Common symptoms: loose panels, gaps/poor fit, rattling noises, or visible missing hardware

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water (as applicable) before service
• Match thread and length to the original; replace screws one at a time to keep parts aligned
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• If the receiving threads are damaged, additional repair (clip, insert, or new nut) may be needed

The Natural Gas Orifice is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas dryers. Installed within the dryer burner assembly, it regulates gas fuel flow into the burner.

Common causes relate to natural deposits obstructing the small gas port, as well wear inducing intermittent ignition of flames during many years of laundering cycles.

Symptoms of a failed orifice include:

• Slow or inefficient drying times and extended cycles
• Uneven or incomplete drying of loads
• Changes in flame appearance like higher than normal yellow tips

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

This pipe plug seals an unused or service opening in a household appliance's plumbing to stop leaks and prevent debris entry. It restores a watertight closure so the appliance can operate safely and without water loss. What it does:

• Plugs open pipe or hose fittings to prevent water leaks
• Helps maintain proper water flow by sealing unused ports
• Keeps debris and contaminants out of the plumbing system
• Can stop intermittent drips originating from service openings

• One pipe plug

• Turn off water supply and power to the appliance before starting work
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten only to OEM torque or finger-tight plus a quarter-turn if unspecified
• If the original used sealant or gasket, replace with the same type per OEM instructions

The Gas Valve Coils are OEM parts for Whirlpool dryers. These coils are integral to the operation of gas dryers, controlling the flow of gas to the burner. When electrical signals are sent to the coils, they open the valve to allow gas to flow and be ignited, producing heat for drying clothes.

Over time, these coils can fail due to wear or electrical issues, leading to symptoms such as no heat or insufficient heating in the dryer, even though it runs.

Symptoms of faulty gas valve coils include:

• Inconsistent or intermittent heating ability
• Failure to ignite or irregular flame patterns
• Gas valve clicking noises without burner ignition
• Coil wires compromised, brittle or showing exposed conductors

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This screw is used to secure the handle end cap to the center of the door. The screw size measures 8-18 x 1/2 inches.

The LP Conversion Kit is an OEM component for Whirlpool and KitchenAid gas dryers. It allows conversion from natural gas to liquid propane fuel operation. Over time in gas-powered dryers, improper gas/air mixture causes part wear like weakened burner components. This is risky if overlooked but converting to an alternative fuel safely remedies. 

Causes relate to unavoidable deterioration from gas combustion stresses. Conversion using this kit prevents hazardous gas leaks or explosions.

Symptoms involve:

• Diminished or unsafe heat levels from burners
• Gas leaks which exacerbate safety risks over time

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
