Description

This replacement gas valve controls gas flow to the burner in a gas dryer, enabling safe ignition and consistent heat. When it fails, the burner may not light and loads can stay damp; replacing it restores proper drying performance.

• Opens and closes gas flow to the burner when heat is called for
• Shuts off gas when the cycle ends or heating is not active
• Common symptoms: dryer runs but has no heat or the burner never ignites
• May present as the ignitor glowing or clicking repeatedly without flame, or intermittent heat

What's included: One gas valve assembly. Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Work in a ventilated area and allow the dryer and burner to cool
• Use only gas-rated thread sealant on threaded connections
• After installation, turn on gas and check all joints for leaks with a soap-and-water solution

For gas dryers only.
