Description

This replacement igniter is the glow-style heating element that lights the gas burner in compatible gas dryers, restoring reliable ignition so the dryer can produce heat when calling for a cycle. What it does

• Heats to a glowing temperature to ignite burner gas when the dryer starts
• Replaces a cracked, broken, or non-glowing igniter that prevents the burner from lighting
• Common symptom: dryer runs but does not produce heat
• Also used when the igniter shows visible damage or fails continuity checks

What's included

• One igniter (glow bar)

Install notes

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Handle the ceramic/element carefully; the glow element is fragile and can break if touched or dropped
• Follow OEM service instructions and replace any suspect mounting hardware or sensors encountered during replacement
