When to Replace

  • Dryer drum tumbles, but no heat is produced.
  • Dryer heats intermittently or takes too long to dry.
  • The igniter glows, but the gas burner fails to light.
  • A continuity test on existing coils indicates failure.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect the dryer from its power source and shut off the gas supply before beginning the repair.
  • Access the gas valve assembly, typically located at the bottom of the dryer.
  • Remove the mounting bracket and wires from the old coils.
  • Install the new coils in the correct positions; the 2-terminal and 3-terminal coils are not interchangeable.
  • Reconnect the wires and re-secure the assembly before restoring power and gas.

FAQs

The most common sign of failing solenoid coils is a dryer that runs but fails to produce heat, or heats only intermittently. A reliable way to diagnose this is to observe the burner assembly while the dryer is running: if the igniter glows orange but then shuts off without the gas flame igniting, the coils are likely unable to open the gas valve.
This kit is designed for gas dryers manufactured by Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, and GE. It is a universal-style replacement for all dryers utilizing a two-coil gas valve system.
This kit replaces OEM part number 279834. It also cross-references with AP3094251, PS334310, 12001349, 694540, 694539, 306105, 306106, 3479, 303558, 306103, 58804A, 58804B, 63-6614, 63-6615, 14201336, 14201452, 14202750, 14205025, 14210032, 14210725, and 14210908.
Replacing the solenoid coils is a straightforward repair that typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. You will generally need a multi-bit screwdriver and a putty knife to access the dryer cabinet. Always ensure the dryer is unplugged and the gas supply is turned off before beginning any work.
If the burner still fails to ignite after installing the new coils, check your dryer's venting system. A restricted or blocked vent is a frequent cause of heating issues and can cause the thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat to trip, preventing the burner from firing. Ensure your exhaust ducting is clear of lint buildup from the dryer cabinet all the way to the exterior vent hood.
