General Electric Dryer Burner & Related Parts

The Dual Coil is an OEM part for GE dryers. This is often referred to as the “M” coil. If you need to replace both the main coil and dual coil, it is recommended to order the kit 279834, which includes both coils for a comprehensive replacement.

Causes of a faulty dual coil can include wear and tear over time, electrical component failure, or damage due to overheating or excessive usage. These factors can result in insufficient heat production, inconsistent drying, or no heat at all.

Symptoms of a bad dual coil may include:

• Insufficient heat or no heat during the drying cycle
• Inconsistent drying results
• Extended drying times

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Main Coil is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is a crucial component of the gas valve assembly, responsible for opening the gas valve to allow gas flow to the burner, enabling the dryer to produce heat.

Causes of a bad main coil can include electrical faults such as short circuits or open circuits within the coil, wear and tear from prolonged use, or damage due to overheating. Over time, the coil's ability to control the gas flow can diminish, affecting the dryer's performance.

Symptoms of a bad main coil include:

• The dryer not heating up
• Intermittent heating during a drying cycle
• The dryer taking longer than usual to dry clothes
• A clicking sound without the ignition of the burner

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Dryer won't heat or you smell gas? The gas valve controls fuel delivery to the burner. Common fix for heating failures and gas leaks. Moderate DIY repair.

Fix a dryer that won't heat or cycles but doesn't ignite with this gas burner assembly. Restores consistent flame when the original is corroded or clogged.

Fix buzzing noises or no flame in your gas dryer with a new valve assembly. Solves igniter glow without ignition. Moderate DIY repair with basic tools.

This gas valve and pipe assembly controls and routes natural gas from the appliance inlet to the burner manifold, restoring proper fuel flow for ignition and stable burner operation. Designed as a direct-replacement service part. What it does

• Regulates and directs gas flow from the inlet to the oven/range burners.
• Enables proper ignition and stable flame for baking and broiling cycles.
• Works with the appliance's existing manifold and burner orifices to maintain correct gas delivery.

• Turn off gas supply and disconnect power before servicing; follow all safety procedures.
• After installation, check all fittings for leaks with an approved gas leak test (do not use an open flame).
• Replace only with the exact part specified for your appliance; inspect connections and gaskets and tighten to manufacturer torque specs.

The Water Valve is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. Located near the bottom of the machine, it controls water flow into the condenser system during moisture-sensing cycles.

The moisture sensing function uses this valve to introduce precise amounts of water vapor into the exhaust air stream periodically. This allows the condenser to capture moisture readings accurately and determine optimal cycle time based on humidity levels. 

Causes of failure include mineral buildup restricting flow, worn seals enabling leaks, or misaligned internal components hindering valve movement.

Symptoms of a faulty water valve are: 

• Loss of moisture sensing ability
• Incomplete or improper readings affecting cycle times  
• Water leaks from the valve area
• Failure to inject water vapor as needed

This part is also compatible with some Kenmore models using GE components.

Dryer not heating? This gas valve assembly controls gas flow to the burner. Simple DIY repair with basic tools. Compatible with many dryer models.

Dryer not heating or won't ignite? This gas valve and pipe assembly controls propane flow to the burner. Common fix for no-heat issues on gas dryers.

Dryer not heating? A faulty gas valve assembly often prevents gas flow to the burner. This part controls gas ignition for proper drying cycles.

Fix a dryer that won't heat with this gas valve assembly. Controls gas flow to the burner for proper drying. Common repair for no heat issues.

Dryer not heating or heating poorly? This gas burner assembly restores proper heat output. Moderately difficult repair requiring gas line disconnect.
