FAQs

The most common symptom is a dryer that runs but does not produce heat, or only heats intermittently. To test, observe the burner assembly while the dryer is running: if the igniter glows orange for a period and then shuts off without the gas igniting, the solenoid coils are likely defective and 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 compatible with most dryers that utilize a two-coil gas valve system.
This kit replaces OEM part number 279834. It also cross-references with numerous other part numbers, including 12001349, 694540, 694539, 3479, 306105, 306106, 58804A, 58804B, 63-6614, 63-6615, PS334310, AP3094251, and various 1420 series numbers.
This kit includes the two-terminal secondary coil and the three-terminal booster/holding coil. Installation is considered a moderate DIY task. You will typically need a multi-bit screwdriver and a putty knife to access the burner assembly. The process involves removing the front or lower access panel, disconnecting the old coils from the gas valve, and snapping the new coils into place.
Always disconnect the power supply to the dryer and shut off the gas supply line before beginning any repair. Because this involves the gas valve assembly, ensure all connections are secure and leak-free before restoring gas and power to the unit.
