The Whirlpool Burner Igniter Kit 279311 is a high-quality replacement part that ignites gas to light the dryer burner. It replaces multiple igniters and requires safety precautions and disconnection from utilities before installation.

Consider replacing the gas valve coils while you have the dryer apart.

Dryer thermistor. This thermistor should read approximately 11.9K Ohms of resistance at 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21’ Celsius). If the thermistor is defective, it may prolong or shorten the drying time or cause a fault code. A defective thermistor is not responsible for a dryer not heating.

Dryer idler pulley wheel kit. The idler pulley puts tension on the drive belt. If the idler pulley fails to put the proper amount of tension on the belt, the dryer will not spin

The dryer belt wears out over time. Consider replacing the belt while the dryer is apart.

The Whirlpool Blower Wheel WP697772 is a high-quality replacement part that attaches to the drive motor shaft and blows air through the drum and out through the exhaust vent. It is important to use safety equipment and disconnect the appliance before any service or repair.

Dryer thermal fuse located on the blower housing. If the dryer overheats, the thermal fuse blows cutting off power to the motor or the heating system. When the fuse is bad the dryer won't start or will run but not heat. The thermal fuse cannot be reset. Fuses often blow due to a clogged dryer vent.

Dryer tri-ring retainer for drum support rollers.

Gas dryer sensor for igniter and flame. The sensor is located across from the gas igniter at the dryer’s burner assembly. This flame sensor should be closed for continuity at room temperature. Check for continuity with a multi-meter before replacing.
