Dryer Gas Valve Ignition Solenoid Kit

Restore the heat to your gas dryer with this two-coil ignition solenoid kit. These coils are responsible for opening the gas valve once the igniter reaches the correct temperature. If your dryer won’t heat or only stays hot for a few minutes, these solenoids have likely failed and can no longer hold the valve open.

This is a newer-style universal kit designed to fit almost all gas dryers equipped with a two-coil valve system. As a Factory Certified Part, these coils are built to handle the constant cycling and high-heat environment of your dryer’s burner assembly.

Common Fixes:

• Fixes dryers that blow cold air.

• Resolves intermittent heating (dryer starts hot but goes cold).

• Fixes the “glow but no flame” issue (igniter gets bright but the gas never lights).

Quick Info:

• Contents: Includes both the 2-terminal and 3-terminal solenoids.

• Compatibility: Fits major brands including GE, Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Maytag.

• Difficulty: Novice. Requires basic disassembly with a screwdriver and putty knife.

Pro Tips:

• Don’t Lose the Spacer: When removing the old, larger coil, keep the plastic sleeve/spacer located inside. The new kit does not include this, and you must reuse your original one.

• Safety First: Unplug the dryer and shut off the gas supply before beginning this repair.
