Frigidaire Dryer Gas Valve Solenoid Coil Kit (Part # 5303931775)

Restore immediate, reliable heat generation to your gas appliance with this Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dryer Gas Valve Solenoid Coil Kit. This factory-certified safety overhaul package (Part # 5303931775, which replaces older factory configurations like 5303931774, 08014561, 3201317, and 9990) contains the critical electromagnetic actuators that regulate fuel release into your burner chamber.

The description listed on the wholesale page mistakenly categorizes this item as a “heating element replacement kit”—this is a core safety misprint. Electric dryers use heating elements, whereas this part is exclusively utilized in gas-powered dryers.

Mounted on top of the main gas valve body assembly next to the burner funnel, these two specific coils work as a team to lift the internal rubber seals. When the machine’s timer calls for heat, electricity courses through the primary coils to create a magnetic field that physically pulls the valve gates open, allowing gas to rush over the hot igniter to light the flame. Over time, the internal copper wire windings inside these plastic coil housings will break down from constant operational heat, losing their magnetic strength.

When these solenoids begin to fail, they exhibit a highly specific symptom: The dryer starts the cycle completely fine, the igniter glows white-hot, you hear a “click,” and a flame lights for about 30 to 60 seconds. However, once the chamber heats up, the flame cuts out and never comes back on for the rest of the cycle, leaving your clothes damp and cold.

Kit Contents & Specifications:

Because these two companion solenoids function as an interconnected safety circuit, they experience the exact same thermal stress and must always be replaced as a matching set:

• (1) 3-Terminal Primary/Boost Coil: Controls the initial mechanical lifting force required to crack open the main safety seat of the gas valve.

• (2) 2-Terminal Secondary/Holding Coil: Regulates the continuous magnetic field required to hold the valve port safely open during the combustion window.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision-engineered for Frigidaire, White-Westinghouse, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, Crosley, Electrolux, and Kenmore (417-Series) gas-heated clothes dryers equipped with standard dual-coil burner blocks.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves intermittent heating, a burner flame that cuts out early and won’t restart, a glowing igniter that fails to release gas, or cycles that take hours to dry a single load.

• Difficulty: Intermediate. Accessible DIY repair requiring you to remove the lower front panels to reach the floor pan burner cluster.

⚠️ Critical Diagnosis & Prevention Tip:

If your gas dryer is blowing completely cold, you can easily verify the electrical condition of these solenoids using a digital multimeter set to Ohms (Ω) mode at room temperature. Unplug the wire harness connectors from the coils and touch your meter probes to the brass contact pins:

• 2-Terminal Coil: Should read a stable resistance of approximately 1300 Ω across the two pins.

• 3-Terminal Coil: Test between Pin 1 and Pin 2 (should read roughly 1350 Ω), and then test between Pin 1 and Pin 3 (should read roughly 550 Ω).

If any of these pin paths read “OL” (Open Loop) or display infinite resistance, the copper wiring has fractured inside the casing, confirming the coil is completely dead.

Standard Installation Guidelines:

1. Double Utility Isolation: You must completely unplug the dryer’s power cord to eliminate all electrical shock hazards, AND completely shut off the manual inline gas supply line valve to ensure a safe workspace.

2. Access the Burner Floor: Open your dryer door and unthread the lower access screws to pop away the lower front kick-panel (or lift the main top lid and front bulkhead, depending on your specific layout configuration).

3. Unbolt the Retaining Bracket: Locate the gas valve assembly on the lower left floor pan. Unclip the plastic wiring harness blocks leading into the top of both coils. Use a cross-tip screwdriver to unthread the metal bracket plate holding the two plastic coils down onto the valve posts.

4. Swap the Assemblies: Slide the old plastic cylinders off their metal posts, making sure the small alignment notch at the base is cleared. Slide the fresh, new genuine factory coils directly over the guide pins, re-fasten the metal retaining shield tightly, and press the terminal plugs firmly back into place.
