Product Description
The Whirlpool 279834 Dryer Gas Valve Coil Kit is an egral part of your gas dryer's heating system, responsible for regulating the flow of gas to the burner. When electrical current is supplied to these coils, they create an electromagnetic field that activates and opens the gas valve, permitting gas to pass through to the igniter and burner. This precise control is fundamental for the dryer to successfully ignite and maain the heat required to dry laundry. When the coils in the gas valve fail, the dryer will typically tumble but produce no heat, as the gas valve remains closed and prevents gas from reaching the burner. This coil kit provides the necessary components to restore proper function to the gas valve, ensuring that gas flows as ended, allowing the dryer to heat efficiently and complete its drying cycles effectively. Replacing worn or failed coils is a common solution to restore a gas dryer's heating capability. is an egral part of your gas dryer's heating system, responsible for regulating the flow of gas to the burner.
