Gas valve orifice is now accessible and can
be removed with a 3/8” wrench.
nOTe: Do not use sealant on threads of the
orifice as it can block the gas flow and it is
not needed.
TeCH TiP: When replacing a gas valve
assembly it is always prudent to remove the
orifice from the original gas valve and install
it on the new valve. This helps avoid having
the wrong size orifice on the dryer after a
gas valve replacement.
nOTe: All replacement gas valves for this
dryer come set for natural gas use. When
working on a dryer that uses LP gas, the
valve will need to be reconfigured. See
instructions with the LP kit.
