The Gas Dryer Igniter Kit is a flat-style igniter assembly that can be used to replace both a round or flat igniter in your appliance. This kit includes (1) Igniter assembly, (1) bracket, (2) wire nuts and (1) mounting screw. If the dryer does not heat or heats intermittently, replacing this part may alleviate these issues. Note that this igniter is fragile and you cannot touch the grey section of the part; only handle the igniter by its white plastic covering. 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. Helpful Tip: While the dryer is disassembled, consider replacing the gas valve coils (item 279834) as well.Part Specification•  This product is a Factory Certified Part.
