Description
The Valve is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool gas and electric dryers. It controls the flow of gas to the burner and maintains proper temperature during the drying cycle. The valve is opened and closed electronically based on temperature and dryness sensor readings.
Symptoms of a bad dryer valve include:
- Inability to achieve or maintain high enough heat for efficient drying
- Fluctuating temperatures throughout cycles
- Repeated drying times or inability to fully dry loads
- Burner or heating element issues
Causes of a dryer valve malfunctioning can be worn over many years of use. Dust or debris accumulation in the valve mechanism is also common.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
