Check the Gas Valve Coils:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIf the igniter glows bright white but gas still doesn’t ignite, the gas valve coil kit is the next likely culprit. The igniter must draw enough current to energize the coils and open the valve — failed coils won’t open even with a perfect igniter. Replacing both at the same time eliminates a second disassembly.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- INSTALLATION --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e⚙️ Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level: MODERATE — 90–120 minutes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Disconnect power AND shut off the gas supply valve before starting. Access the burner assembly by removing the front or rear panel depending on your model. The igniter is mounted near the burner tube opening with 1–2 screws. Never touch the igniter element with bare hands — skin oils create hot spots that cause premature failure. Handle by the ceramic bracket only. Reconnect wire terminals firmly and run a full test cycle after reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- COMPATIBLE MODELS --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e✓ Compatible Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirmed compatible with hundreds of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Roper, Estate, and KitchenAid gas dryer models including 10687884100, 10687884300, 10687884600, 110279119, 110279121, 1103387617, 1103397617 and many more. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eContact us to verify your model number\u003c\/a\u003e before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- PRO TIP --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e💡 Pro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pro-tip\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIgniter Glowing Bright White But No Ignition? It’s the Coils:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAn estimated 20% of apparent igniter failures are actually gas valve coil failures. If your new igniter glows bright white but gas still doesn’t ignite, test each coil for resistance (~1,000–1,500 ohms). Replacing both the igniter and coil kit at the same time eliminates a second service call and saves significant labour time.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/279311-dryer-igniter-replacement-igniter-with-connector-wires.png?v=1753725901\" alt=\"279311 Dryer Burner Igniter Kit Diagram\" width=\"600\" style=\"display:block;margin:24px 0 0 0;border-radius:6px;\"\u003e","brand":"XPart Supply Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"XPart","offer_id":50704346022177,"sku":"279311XP","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OEM","offer_id":50704345989409,"sku":"279311","price":38.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/279311-dryer-igniter-replacement-metal-bracket-and-igniter.png?v=1753725901","url":"https:\/\/xpartsupply.com\/products\/whirlpool-dryer-burner-igniter-kit-279311","provider":"XPart Supply Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
