Revainrating 4 out of 5

works and thats the main thing

so basically i initially had intermittent gas fires, it burned for a few minutes and then shut off. One guy claimed it was the igniter so I replaced it, it did the same thing, burned out for a few seconds and shut off. So most said they should change those solenoids. These things cost between $6 and $11. I chose them because they were chosen by Amazon but when I received them they looked like all the other parts, probably made in China. However, disconnect the dryer from the mains. You will see that the small gas valve is closed. Turn it to the right to turn off the gas. and the part on the left where you see the forks. There are two Phillips screws on the bottom left of each side (two screws) and this stainless steel bracket comes loose. Then you will see 2 solenoids, they are about to be removed. The three pin one has a metal sleeve inside, just push it out and slide it over the bottom of the new solenoid. The 2 pin does not. However, you will see that there is a tab on the top of each solenoid where the bracket has holes, just for that. It's no problem, just mount the solenoids to fit the hole on the bracket, reconnect those connectors, reattach the bracket with the two Phillips head screws, turn the throttle back open, close it again and apply some moisture. checking underwear. Now I check but the flame was big and hot. So cheap solution, it works so can't complain for $11. Oh my dryer must be over 25 years old, an old Maytag dg4000 and it still works.

Pros
  • easy to use
