The Dryer Clip is an OEM component for Whirlpool electric and gas dryers. It securely fastens critical ductwork attached to the dryer cabinet. Over extended periods, the constant vibrations produced during tumbling cycles cause microscopic fractures or loosening within the clip material where it grips duct joints. 

Causes relate to ordinary fatigue from long-term resonance vibrations concentrated at anchoring points.

Symptoms involve:

• Loose or detached venting/ductwork affecting airflow
• Noticeable leaks emerging at separation interfaces
• Reduced drying effectiveness due to compromised ventilation

Causes relate to unavoidable deterioration from gas combustion stresses. Conversion using this kit prevents hazardous gas leaks or explosions.

Symptoms involve:

• Diminished or unsafe heat levels from burners
• Gas leaks which exacerbate safety risks over time

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Gas Valve Coils are OEM parts for Whirlpool dryers. These coils are integral to the operation of gas dryers, controlling the flow of gas to the burner. When electrical signals are sent to the coils, they open the valve to allow gas to flow and be ignited, producing heat for drying clothes.

Over time, these coils can fail due to wear or electrical issues, leading to symptoms such as no heat or insufficient heating in the dryer, even though it runs.

Symptoms of faulty gas valve coils include:

• Inconsistent or intermittent heating ability
• Failure to ignite or irregular flame patterns
• Gas valve clicking noises without burner ignition
• Coil wires compromised, brittle or showing exposed conductors
