For Whirlpool Dryer Natural Gas Regulator (Part Number: OEM18031830)

Scott for Model Number WGD9500TW2

When the dryer is off, we smell gas. Not a lot, but over time it builds. I've replaced the gas line and valve from the wall, and used yellow teflon tape on all the fittings and confirmed with soapy water there is no gas leak from the wall into the dryer. Our old dryer didn't have this problem, however we just replaced it with this one, however the current dryer sat in storage for 7 years, and is now being used. Is there a part inside the dryer that may be leaking allowing the gas smell when it sits idle?

1 Answer

Scott, as the gas supply line has been verified as not having a leak, the only other location that gas can come from would be from a sticking gas valve WPW10118347.

Jandrh, The spring WP694422 and regulator WP694423 maintain a predetermined amount of pressure on the regulator diaphragm, they must be installed when the dryer operates on Nat. Gas. The limiter / cap WP694424 Holds everything in position, and also works as a vent, should there be a pressure increase or fluctuation that could damage the valve interior components.

This is preset from the factory, you just put the part in place and put the nut back on.
