Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Natural Gas Limiter (Part Number: OEM18031833)

1 Answer

Len, There are no adjustments to make, or specific turns on the cap. As long as you've installed the Nat gas valve components(orifice,cap, spring, regulator) and you have 3.5 WCI gas pressure at the gas valve, you're set and done. You'll need to adjust the fuel air mixture at the air shutter on the burner tube( usually 1/2 to 3/4 open) you should be fine. You may need to have the gas company or a servicer out to test the pressure at the gas valve. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Roger. Here are a couple of things that you might want to try. The easiest test to do for the condition you discribed is to remove and clear the exhaust vent. It may be restricted with excess lint which restricts the discharge of air. This condition will cause the dryers burner to shutoff do to overheating. If the dryer will run normally with the vent removed, either clearing the vent tube and checking the flapper door on the vent hood should correct the problem. Another place to check is the fan blower cage. Make sure it is clear of lint and debris. If everything is clear then it sounds like the coils need to be replaced. The part number for the coil kit for your model is 279834. Hope this helps.
