John C Beaver , UT April 16, 2017 Appliance: Model SAMSUNG WA58K8600A Broken ignitor Replaced the ignitor, broken during conversion process from Natural Gas to Propane. I watched several YouTube videos for tips on completing task and there was no mention of being extra careful of the ignitor to avoid breakage, I have never seen an ignitor made of whatever this material is, but it appears to be fragile. I removed the broken part and practiced putting the burner back in without any ignitor in place. the way the burner goes in requires it to be hooked in the front and at the same time to go over the gas orifice and line up with the screw hole, (tricky). after a little practice I was able to install the burner and ignitor unit without any problems.

I did this project with my son I wanted him to see how things work and you can fix things yourself without calling a repair man. Hit the start cycle and it ran just fine. I would recommend tackling this project to anyone with medium skills Read More... 5 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
Bonnie T Elkins Park , PA September 26, 2021 Our Samsung gas dryer was not heating.. We started by ordering and replacing the thermistor. This did not fix the problem, so I went all out to order the thermal fuse and Ignitor. After removing both parts it appeared that both of them were needing to be replaced. Once all was replaced and the machine was put back together the dryer is working like a charm and will hopefully last another 8 years.
