FAQs

The most common symptom is a dryer that runs but fails to produce heat, or heats only intermittently. If you observe the igniter glowing orange but then fading out without the gas burner igniting, the solenoid coils are likely failing to open the gas valve. Replacing these coils is a standard fix for this specific behavior.
This kit is designed for gas dryers using a two-coil gas valve assembly. It is compatible with a wide range of models from Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Frigidaire, GE, Crosley, and Electrolux.
This kit replaces OEM part number 279834. It also cross-references with AP3094251, PS334310, 12001349, 694540, 694539, 306105, 306106, 3-6105, 3-6106, 303558, 306103, 3479, 58804A, 58804B, 63-6614, 63-6615, 14202750, 14205025, 14210032, 14210725, 14210908, and WE04X10020.
Yes, always replace both coils as a set. Even if only one appears to be failing, the second coil is likely near the end of its service life. Replacing them together ensures reliable operation and prevents the need to disassemble the burner assembly again in the near future.
Replacing the coils is a straightforward repair that typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. You will generally need a screwdriver (often a 1/4-inch nut driver) to remove the dryer panels and access the burner assembly. Always ensure the dryer is unplugged and the gas supply is turned off before beginning any work.
Since you have the unit disassembled, it is an excellent time to inspect the igniter for cracks and use a multimeter to test the thermal fuses and thermostats for continuity. Additionally, take a moment to vacuum out any lint buildup around the burner assembly and check your dryer vent exhaust for obstructions to ensure proper airflow.
