A Canton homeowner called when their Whirlpool dryer wasn’t getting gas. We diagnosed failed gas valve coil packs and replaced them to restore proper operation.
The Problem
The customer reported their dryer was not getting gas. The unit would run but produce no heat, leaving clothes damp after full cycles.
Diagnosis
We found 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 safety system prevents gas flow entirely.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 279834 — gas valve coil packs
- Work performed: Replaced gas valve coil packs
- Result: Dryer restored to proper heating operation
Is It Worth Repairing?
This Whirlpool 110 series dryer is a solid, repairable unit. Gas valve coil packs are a common wear item that typically provides years of reliable service after replacement. For most homeowners, this repair makes financial sense compared to replacement costs.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Gas Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating
- Have the exhaust vent professionally cleaned annually to prevent gas valve strain
- Check that the outdoor vent flap opens freely when the dryer runs
