Whirlpool Gas Valve Assembly WPW10118347 OEM Part

Whirlpool offers an extensive range of appliances through its brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, they manufacture products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. One notable component, the gas valve assembly for dryers, includes solenoids or coils that manage the gas flow by opening and closing the valve. Despite being made from robust materials, this part may wear out over time. If the dryer does not generate heat during use, testing the coils with a multimeter is recommended. A result not within the 1,000 to 2,000 ohm range suggests replacement is necessary.

Prioritizing safety, disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply and shut off the gas before starting any repairs. Remove the lint screen and unscrew the housing with a screwdriver to access the interior. To reach the gas valve and coils, further disassemble the dryer. Unfasten the mounting bracket screws and replace the outdated component with a new one. Verify the appliance’s functionality by running a test cycle.

This gas valve assembly is designed to fit Kenmore, Maytag, and Amana dryers. It is a genuine OEM part, acquired directly from the manufacturer, and available for individual purchase.
