Whirlpool Washer; Dryer Repair – Canton, OH (RGD4440VQ1)

A Whirlpool gas dryer in Canton, OH was spinning but producing no heat. Our technician found failed gas valve coil packs that needed replacement to restore proper heating operation.

The Problem

The customer reported their gas dryer was spinning but not heating. The drum would tumble clothes normally, but no heat was being generated during the cycle.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the gas valve coil packs had failed. These electromagnetic coils control the gas valves that allow fuel to flow to the burner assembly. When they fail, the dryer operates mechanically but cannot ignite the gas for heat production.
