Dryer won't heat or flame shuts off after 15 seconds? Gas valve coils control gas flow to the burner. Takes about 30 minutes to replace both coils.
I'm starting with a quick background on my dryer. About 18 months ago the belt on the dryer started slipping and squealing. I had a can of belt dressing spray so I popped the top open and sprayed the belt. It actually worked for about a year before it started squealing again. For the next 6 months I had to spray it more and more often. Then the clothes stopped drying. Obviously, at this point, I had to get off my lazy ass and fix the dryer. Searched my dryer's model number on the internet and... Read more
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:
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
Ordered the parts from ApplianceParts Pros.com and saved the $100 service call. The fix was easy, complete instructions enclosed. Read more

Moving to a propane home? Convert your natural gas dryer to LP with this orifice kit. Straightforward DIY process takes 1.5-2.5 hours with careful work.
I'm not an appliance mechanic and have never worked on a dryer before, but I have worked as an instrument technician and lightly dabbled in HVAC repairs. We moved from natural gas to a new home with propane, so purchased this kit to make the conversion. In my mind I thought it would be fairly quick and easy, change a few fittings, etc, but realized upon reading the instructions that I needed to disassemble most of the dryer. The work was straightforward but since this was my first time... Read more
If your dryer won't stay lit or shuts off after a few minutes, the gas limiter may be faulty. This regulator controls safe gas flow to the burner.
Removed LP Orifice and LP Gas limiter. Orifice was easy, however the gas limiter was the tricky one because I had no instructions to what went where. I could not find anything online as to how to convert from LP to Natural Gas, but you could find several things as to how to convert from Natural to LP. I ended up finding the Dryer schematic on line for the Whirlpool Duet natural gas dryer and was able to figure out what sequence the Spring, regulator and limiter went in. The order I just...

Converting dryer from propane to natural gas? This orifice regulates gas flow in the burner assembly. Easy DIY fix, typically done in under 1 hour.
Confirmed parts needed through online chat with tech and followed video instructions for dryer conversion. Found a video online for range conversion. Replaced orifices for stove top and adjusted oven burner orifices and air shutters and inverted pin in pressure regulator to natural gas position. All went well with no problems, about an hour and a half to gather tools and complete both jobs. Probably could be done faster but I was taking my time. Read more
If your dryer won't heat or flame won't stay lit, a corroded burner tube may be the cause. This assembly includes an adjustable air shutter for proper combustion.
I removed the kick panel/door and confirmed there was no flame. Inspection with a flashlight revealed the igniter was damage - partly broken away. Using a 1/4" socket set I removed the burner assembly. Inspection showed the burner was rusted and the flame deflector had fallen off. I ordered both the "Dryer Igniter and Bracket" and a burner. They arrived in about three days. I had to attach the igniter to the bracket (one screw) and then the bracket to the burner (one screw). The only... Read more
Dryer won't heat or pilot lights but shuts off? This gas valve assembly controls burner ignition and flame. Typical DIY repair in 45-60 minutes.
I decided the problem was with the gas valve and I found the part on your web site. I ordered it and received the part in 3 days. I replaced the valve and the dryer works like new! This also gave me an opportunity to vacuum out the dust/lint that collects in and around the dryer. Read more
This gas surface burner head distributes fuel through its ports to create an even, reliable flame on your cooktop. Replace a clogged, damaged, or warped head to restore consistent ignition and proper heat on the affected burner.
Valve (or a component on it) was slowly leaking gas. I was able to easily replace the entire gas assembly with this order. Item was mostly pre-assembled, and contained all parts needed, including new igniter and coils. Read more
Dryer won't heat or gas won't ignite? This gas valve controls gas flow to the burner assembly. Moderate DIY repair requiring drum removal.
Remove the top cover, front door panel, drum, and back cover to access the valve assembly hold down bolts. Unhook the gas line, remove the electrical connections to the coils, then R&R the valve assembly. Don’t forget to hook the connectors back to the coils before putting everything back together...
