1 Answer Therry, The thermal fuse would not be resettable. The flame sensor automatically resets when it cools down and if it is showing open at room temp then the flame sensor is faulty. Read More...
Anlo April 15, 2018 for Model Number 110.74952300 My dryer drum spun, but would not heat. I replaced the cracked/worn 15 year old igniter with a new igniter, and it performed great again. But after 1 month, the new igniter burned out also. Was it a bad igniter, or is this a symptom of some other defective part? Thank you for your advice. Anlo with wet clothes.
1 Answer Anlo, Is the igniter glowing? If it is glowing but no flame then test the flame sensor for continuity. If the flame comes on for just a couple seconds but goes out then this will be an issue with the gas coils. Read More...
1 Answer Jack, Yes this igniter and bracket 279311 will be the correct one for your unit. Read More...
Bill February 13, 2018 for Model Number 110.95081401 Hi, Dryer is running but quit heating completely. Gas valve coils ohm out good, Thermal fuse is not open. but the igniter is reading as an open circuit? not the 50 to 500 ohms. would it be bad, or could something else still be faulty.
1 Answer Hello Bill. If the ignitor is reading open, then it is bad and will need to be replaced. Thank you. Read More...
Mike B December 31, 2017 for Model Number LGQ9858LW0 When testing ignitior with multi tester should I be reading 0? Thanks MB
1 Answer Mike, The resistance of the dryer igniter should not be 0 ohms of resistance but should be approximately 50 to 500 ohms of resistance. Read More...
1 Answer Julian, The igniter 279311 has a wider base to it and you will want to only use the igniter designed for this unit. Read More...
Vern November 13, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool gas dryer I just replaced the gas igniter on the dryer, checking the service window shows it is not glowing. Would bad gas coils cause it not to glow?
1 Answer Hello Vern. No, you will need to check the flame sensor on the unit. It would prevent power from coming to the ignitor and the unit coming on. Also, check your temp switch and thermostats. Read More...
Ryan Stephens June 16, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool Duet GGW9250PW0 Hi! I have a gas Whirlpool Duet dryer that has been converted to liquid propane. When it's not in operation, the inside of the drum smells like gas. Do I need to replace the whole gas valve, or just the two solenoids? Let me know if there is something different I should be looking at. Thanks!
1 Answer Ryan, For this issue the gas valve would likely be the issue and would need to replace the entire thing. Read More...
Allan M. June 13, 2017 for Model Number LGQ8857HQ1 Dryer Stopped Working. the Burner Would not Light. I replaced the igniter and it still doesn't light.

Frameexpert April 22, 2017 for Model Number WGD8200YW0 Cabrio Gas Dryer, After a few minutes the Check Vent light comes on. The vent is clear. The dryer has heat but it takes a long time to dry clothes. What should I replace? I have the following in my cart: High Limit Thermostat, Dryer Gas Valve Coil Kit, and Dryer Thermister. Are there any other possibilities? Thank you.
1 Answer Frameexpert, The hi limit switch and thermistor are good possibilities, but there are other checks to make first. If you're sure the exhaust vent pipes and vent hood are clear/clean and there are no kinks or restrictions, then check the outlet ducts (under the lint filter and attached to the blower for a build up or restriction, and check the blower belt to make sure it's not stretched or worn out, and the blower wheel bearing isn't seizing up. The check vent indicator light will illuminate when the airflow is restricted (in or out of the drum). Read More...
