279834 Dryer Gas Valve Ignition Solenoid Coil Kit — Fits Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag Gas Dryers, 2-Prong & 3-Prong Valve Coils, Replacement for AP3094251, PS334310, 12001349, 694540

I spent a couple of days and several hours trying to diagnose our dryer that was no longer staying hot. It would heat up for a few minutes and then stop heating for the rest of the cycle. I tested every component including the high temp thermostat, cycling thermostat, igniter, flame detector, and even the solenoids and all of them tested as "good" according to the information I could find online. This being the easiest and cheapest part to replace I decided to try and sure enough the dryer works perfectly now. It seems that the solenoids on most dryers tend to fail slowly rather than immediately so it's harder to diagnose. So if you're having similar issues (igniter functions and flame is established, but won't stay on) I would try this first.

Fit perfect and fixed my issue. It only took 15 minutes to replace. They were both keyed so I could not put them in incorrectly. A good product. I would recommend it. My dryer wasn't heating. Everything on my dryer was working perfectly except when the ignition light came on there was no flame. My dryer is a general electric gas unit. By replacing these two items it allowed the gas to flow properly so there was an ignition and heat. p.s. Be sure you connect both of them before putting the dryer all back together.

I fixed my own 24-yr-old dryer... it works perfectly, all the different settings and temps, just like new! They don't make appliances like they used to, and I would rather fix a HotPoint with a steel ( not plastic) drum... these are simple to put in. I used AI Overview to find all the videos and old archived manuals that I needed to get it done. Thank you to the DR Quality parts fro continuing to make these available.

My Whirlpool gas clothes dryer had intermittent issues with not heating. A quick peek through the inspection port revealed that the gas ignitor was glowing red-hot, but the blue flame was NOT igniting. A quick look at a few YouTube videos revealed that the most probable cause was the failure of the gas valve solenoids. Solenoids are simply electromagnets that open a gas valve when they receive 120 volts from the timer. These solenoids are purchased in a matched set, and they are keyed slightly differently to fit in their respective holes in the metal mounting bracket. I had one stubborn mounting screw in my old solenoids that required me to remove the clothes drum, but other than that, the installation of these two solenoids was one of the most easiest appliance repairs that I have made. The original solenoids lasted 20 years. These new solenoids have been working daily for the past 75 days. I will update this review if they fail within the next 2 years. The attached video shows what the blue flame looks like when the gas valve solenoids work properly. Pass the popcorn!

Excellent quality!! Great Seller. Work very good on Samsung gas Dryer.

Worked, repaired dryer.

My magtag dryer quit heating a couple of weeks ago. My husband who is very handy, thank goodness, was able to diagnose that it was this part. He was able to open the dryer door and easily install the part into the dryer. After installation, it was time to test if it would work. I had my fingers crossed! We started it up and it if oted and kept running and heating the dryer! I was so happy. We had tried another part before and it didn't work. It has been a couple of days now and still working like a champ. You just can't beat those old Maytag. The part shipped very quickly. We also received it very quickly as well. I just had to wait for my husband to install it. I would definitely purchase this item again. The description on the order was very good and I was able to find that this particular part worked for my specific dryer. It fit perfectly! I was worried about what the price would be since my dryer is at least 25 years old ( have I mentioned that the old washer and dryers are the best?). Anyway we found this part and to my surprise, it was under $10, and we got 2 of them! I am so thankful for a handy husband, and for this inexpensive part that fixed us right back up and I am again able to dry all this laundry! Thank you!!

Excellent value for money! Perfect fit!

I can fix a lot of things with an engine but when my dryer stopped working I thought it was toast. Bought this and it fixed the problem of it just spinning and spinning but no heat. Hope this helps someone save some money

Product worked well. Price was reasonable. The delivery was good. Would definitely recommend it.

18 yr old Whirlpool gas dryer wasn’t heating properly. Diagnosed the easiest and cheapest parts to repair first starting with the solenoid. This was the parts I needed, changed them out easily, and we have a hot dryer again.

Other sites wanted 80 dollars just for a secondary coil. Amazon was in my ballpark.

It saves my gas dryer and much money, I don't need to buy a new one!
