FAQs

The most common sign of a faulty flame sensor is a dryer that runs but fails to produce heat. You may notice the igniter glows, but the gas burner never kicks on, or the burner cycles on and off intermittently. If your dryer is tumbling but the clothes remain cold, the sensor is a primary suspect.
This sensor replaces a wide range of OEM part numbers, including WP338906, 338906, AP6008294, 14205529, 14210083, 14218928, 3-3377, Y303377, DC32-00008A, 35001096, 63-5013, R0611503, Y56231, DE353, K35-194, and WP338906VP.
This component is compatible with a broad range of gas dryers manufactured under the Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Samsung, and LG brands.
Replacing the flame sensor is a straightforward repair that typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. You will generally need a 1/4-inch nut driver to remove the dryer's access panels and a small screwdriver to disconnect the sensor's mounting screw and wire harness. Always ensure the dryer is unplugged and the gas supply is turned off before beginning any work.
If the dryer still fails to heat after installing a new flame sensor, check the igniter for cracks or a break in the element, and inspect the gas valve solenoid coils. These coils are a common failure point that can prevent the gas valve from opening even if the sensor is functioning correctly.
