General Electric Dryer Burner & Related Parts

The Dual Coil is an OEM part for GE dryers. This is often referred to as the “M” coil. If you need to replace both the main coil and dual coil, it is recommended to order the kit 279834, which includes both coils for a comprehensive replacement.

Causes of a faulty dual coil can include wear and tear over time, electrical component failure, or damage due to overheating or excessive usage. These factors can result in insufficient heat production, inconsistent drying, or no heat at all.

Symptoms of a bad dual coil may include:

• Insufficient heat or no heat during the drying cycle
• Inconsistent drying results
• Extended drying times

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Main Coil is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is a crucial component of the gas valve assembly, responsible for opening the gas valve to allow gas flow to the burner, enabling the dryer to produce heat.

Causes of a bad main coil can include electrical faults such as short circuits or open circuits within the coil, wear and tear from prolonged use, or damage due to overheating. Over time, the coil's ability to control the gas flow can diminish, affecting the dryer's performance.

Symptoms of a bad main coil include:

• The dryer not heating up
• Intermittent heating during a drying cycle
• The dryer taking longer than usual to dry clothes
• A clicking sound without the ignition of the burner

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This gas valve regulates and safely delivers fuel to your dryer's burner. When operating correctly, it opens for ignition and closes when heat is satisfied, providing consistent, reliable heating for effective drying.

• Opens to allow gas into the burner when the ignition system calls for heat
• Closes to stop gas flow during cycling or if ignition fails
• Possible symptoms: dryer runs but no heat; igniter glows yet no flame; intermittent heat or long dry times
• Helps restore proper burner ignition and stable flame

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Work in a well-ventilated area; check all connections for leaks with a non-corrosive leak-detection solution after installation
• Transfer any brackets, fittings, or orifices from the original valve as required; secure connections
• Confirm gas type (natural/LP) and regulator/orifice settings per the service manual before restoring service

This burner assembly is the combustion head for GE gas dryers. It mixes gas and air and directs a stable flame into the heater housing, restoring consistent heat when the original burner is corroded, warped, or clogged.

• Directs the gas flame into the heat chamber for proper drying temperatures
• Works with the igniter, flame sensor, and gas valve to produce heat
• Typical failure symptoms: no heat or intermittent heat, long dry times, burner lights then goes out, unstable/yellow flame
• Physical issues can include rust, warping, or blocked burner ports

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply; allow the dryer to cool completely
• Note position of the igniter and flame sensor relative to the burner port; realign during reassembly
• Transfer any reusable fittings from the original burner as needed and verify orifice/fuel type match your installation
• After reconnecting gas, perform a leak check with a non-corrosive soapy water solution before restoring power

This valve and pipe assembly controls water flow to the refrigerator ice maker and dispenser, restoring reliable water delivery and ice production. It replaces a worn or leaking water inlet assembly to stop drips and restore proper fill cycles. What it does

• Routes and controls water from the household supply to the ice maker and dispenser
• Opens and closes to allow timed water fills for ice production
• Stops water flow when the valve is closed to help prevent leaks
• Commonly used when the ice maker or dispenser does not fill or when visible leaks occur

• One valve and pipe assembly

• Turn off power and shut off the water supply before starting any repair
• Handle the valve and fittings carefully to avoid twisting or damaging water lines
• Use proper tools and replacement gaskets/filters where required; tighten fittings to manufacturer torque specifications

This gas valve and pipe assembly controls and routes natural gas from the appliance inlet to the burner manifold, restoring proper fuel flow for ignition and stable burner operation. Designed as a direct-replacement service part. What it does

• Regulates and directs gas flow from the inlet to the oven/range burners.
• Enables proper ignition and stable flame for baking and broiling cycles.
• Works with the appliance's existing manifold and burner orifices to maintain correct gas delivery.

• Turn off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing; follow all safety procedures.
• After installation, check all fittings for leaks with an approved gas leak test (do not use an open flame).
• Replace only with the exact part specified for your appliance; inspect connections and gaskets and tighten to manufacturer torque specs.

The Water Valve is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. Located near the bottom of the machine, it controls water flow into the condenser system during moisture-sensing cycles.

The moisture sensing function uses this valve to introduce precise amounts of water vapor into the exhaust air stream periodically. This allows the condenser to capture moisture readings accurately and determine optimal cycle time based on humidity levels. 

Causes of failure include mineral buildup restricting flow, worn seals enabling leaks, or misaligned internal components hindering valve movement.

Symptoms of a faulty water valve are: 

• Loss of moisture sensing ability
• Incomplete or improper readings affecting cycle times  
• Water leaks from the valve area
• Failure to inject water vapor as needed

This part is also compatible with some Kenmore models using GE components.
