6. Slide the gas valve assembly out through the
front of the dryer cavity.
7. Remove the 3 Phillips head screws that
secure the gas valve to the mounting
assembly. Remove the gas valve.
Ignitor
The ignitor is located at the end of the gas valve
assembly in the combustion chamber opening.
Resistance across the ignitor is approximately
300 to 500
Ω.

To remove the ignitor:
1. Shut off the gas and electricity to the dryer.
2. Remove the Top Cover , Front Panel , and Drum .
3. Using a short Phillips screwdriver, remove the
screw that holds the ignitor to the assembly.
Remove the ignitor.
Note: There is a cutout on the edge of the
combustion chamber to allow access to the
screw.
• The control operates the gas valves by
supplying voltage based on varying duty
cycles.
• It is difficult to determine specific voltages at
the valve due to software algorithms based on
clothes load and temperature settings. The
most accurate diagnostic check is to measure
resistance of the solenoid coils.
To remove the gas valve:
1. Shut off the gas and electricity to the dryer.
2. Remove the Top Cover , and Front Panel .
3. Disconnect all wiring to the gas valve and
ignitor.
4. Remove the 2 Phillips head screws that hold
