Whirlpool Gas Dryer Valve Solenoid Coil Kit - 279834

Restore gas flow control to the dryer burner with this Whirlpool Gas Dryer Valve Solenoid Coil Kit - 279834. The coil set opens the gas valve so the burner can ignite and stay lit during the heat cycle.

279834 is the common Whirlpool-family gas valve coil kit containing one 2-terminal coil and one 3-terminal coil. It is a frequent repair for gas dryers that heat once and then stop heating as the coils warm up.

Please confirm fitment with your appliance model number before ordering.

Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Gas dryer heats at first then stops, igniter glows but burner does not relight, intermittent heat, long dry times, or no flame after warm-up.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Coils test out of range, burner works only cold, cracked coil housings, loose terminals, or an old valve-coil number matching the 279834 family.

Pro Tip: When the igniter glows and the flame sensor clicks but no gas ignites, valve coils are a prime suspect on compatible gas dryers.
