Whirlpool Burner & Related Parts

The Dryer Gas Valve Coil Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers, as well as Kenmore and Samsung dryers. It is a set of coils that control the flow of gas fuel to the burner. The gas valve regulates the precise amount of gas needed to properly combust and generate heat for drying clothes. 

Causes of a bad gas valve coil can be wear and tear from regular use, lime or mineral buildup on the coils over time, or physical damage to the coils.

Symptoms of a bad gas valve coil kit include:

• Inconsistent or incomplete drying  
• Slow or intermittent drying
• Burning smell from the gas dryer
• Improper burner ignition or non-ignition

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 Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It plays an important safety role in controlling the flow of gas fuel to the range's burners.

Causes of a bad gas valve can include wear and tear over extended use, mineral deposits clogging the valve's small passages, or physical damage affecting its precision-controlled mechanisms.

Symptoms of a faulty gas valve include:

• Burners that will not light or that light unpredictably
• Inability to adjust burner flames properly
• Gas odors detecting around the range

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore gas models. 

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.

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

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Whirlpool LP gas conversion kit is an OEM replacement part responsible for allowing the conversion of a natural gas-powered dryer to operate on LP (liquid propane) gas. This kit contains the orifice, leak limiter, and an instruction sheet to guide the conversion process. Once the conversion kit is installed, it alters the fuel source of the dryer, allowing it to burn LP gas instead of natural gas. This conversion is necessary when a home or installation site lacks access to natural gas and relies on LP gas as the fuel source for heating appliances

Causes for needing an LP gas conversion kit include relocating the appliance to a home with LP gas, or preferring LP gas over natural gas for cooking efficiency or availability. The conversion process involves changing the orifices and adjusting the gas pressure to suit LP gas requirements.

Symptoms that indicate a need for conversion or issues with the current setup include:

• Improper or uneven flame on the burners
• Difficulty in lighting the burners
• Burners not operating at full power
• Gas smell indicating possible leaks or incorrect gas type

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Natural Gas Limiter is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. Located where the gas supply connects, it regulates safe flow levels to fuel burners during heating cycles. Precise control prevents over-firing issues.
