Ridiculous that the gas valve assembly in its entirety needs to be this much work when a high percentage of the problem are the two solenoid that costs around $5-7 while an ignitor itself on older gas dryers are around $25-30 retail. This burner assembly has to be around $200. Crazy rip-off

Why would there be a water line to a dryer?

Success! there be heat and dry clothes! Thank you!

I have a MGDB850YW1 Maytag gas dryer that keeps knocking out the thermal cutoff. I changed the one-piece duel coils and both it and the high limit fuse on the burner but it keeps blowing out the thermal cutoff on the burner housing. I had the repair tech over and he said the new coil and the new thermal cutoff are blown again and said it would require replacing them and the burner WP 85557891, similar to the one pictured. I did not realize that only one screw holds the single unit coil in place and took of several of the gas valve bolts before I realized my mistake. The gas valve spring came out so I put it back as it appeared go in that round raised area in the center of the burner. Anyway, he said the burner is bad, either from me taking it apart and reassembling or it was the bad part to begin with. Your tutorial is excellent but I have been pulling my hair out over it too long and am getting new units. Half tempted to do the repair out of spite!

Very nicely demonstrated

Interesting but to complicate for me !!!

I have a whirlpool, ordered a replacement gas valve after making sure to check the specifications, and it looks darn near identical except for one thing. The two prong and three prong solenoids are on opposite sides from the original. Aside from that it looks exactly the same. Can I still use this or is that an issue?

Hi, thanks for the video. I have a Kenmore Elite HE3 gas dryer which seems to have similar gas valve and burner assembly. I recently found some minor to medium gas leak around the valve (using a Home-Flex detector bought at Home Depot). I'm wondering if there is anything I can fix (such as loosen parts) on the valve, instead of changing the whole assembly..... Thanks a lot.

My dryer has a full-width kick-panel on the bottom front of dryer, which seems to give full access to the burner, the igniter, and the heat sensor.... I'm thinking I do not need to remove anything else before removing the burner assembly (besides the rear panel and gas line)?...

Hello, first thing thanks for the great videos, very helpful. But I cannot find any info on replacing the regulator and the regulator spring in the gas valve assy.. When replacing

Good
