Section 4 Service Procedures

To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, explosion, serious injury or death:
• Disconnect electric power to the dryer(s) before servicing.
• Close gas shut-off valve to gas dryer(s) before servicing.
• Never start the dryer(s) with any guards/panels removed.
• Whenever ground wires are removed during servicing, these ground wires must be 

reconnected to ensure that the dryer is properly grounded.

Figure 12

NOTE: Burner tube and igniter can be removed 
without removing gas valve and bracket.

(1) Remove screw from right side of burner 

housing holding burner tube in place. Refer 
to Figure 12.

(2) Gently move burner tube toward rear of 

dryer to disengage tab from slot on left side 
of burner housing. Refer to Figure 12.

(3) Carefully rotate burner tube and igniter 

counterclockwise so tab is at 8 o’clock 
position.

(4) Move air shutter end of burner tube slightly 

to right and CAREFULLY remove burner 
tube and igniter assembly.

IMPORTANT: Use care in removal so as not to 
damage or break igniter as it is very fragile.

IMPORTANT: Handle igniter by grasping the 
white ceramic portions only. DO NOT handle silicon 
carbide portion of igniter with hands or allow any 
oil, grease or other foreign material to contaminate

To Test Gas Valve Coil Assembly

1. Disconnect electrical service.
2. Disconnect valve wire harness from dryer 

harness at molex plug.

3. Set test meter to read ohms and put meter probes 

on BLUE and BLACK wire terminals on valve 
harness side of molex plug. 

4. Meter should read approximately 100 ohms with 

the igniter (glow bar) in the circuit. If reading 
goes to approximately 400 ohms, replace the 
igniter.

5. If meter registers other than approximately 10 

ohms as explained in step 4, one of the coils has 
failed. Replace the coil assembly.
