WP338906 Whirlpool Dryer Gas Sensor

The Gas Dryer Flame Sensor reacts to the heat from the ignitor, allowing the gas valve to open and the dryer to create heat. If your appliance isn't heating as expected during operation, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. This sensor is located across from the gas igniter at the dryer’s burner assembly and should be closed for continuity at room temperature. Be sure to check for continuity with a multimeter before installing a new sensor. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker before installing this part. Recommended Item: While the dryer is disassembled, consider replacing the gas valve coils (item 279834) as well.
