Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• No burner ignition or no heat when the dryer is operating.
• Clothes require unusually long drying times.
• Ignition may be delayed or intermittent if the igniter is damaged or failing.
• A visibly cracked, broken, or burned igniter may prevent burner ignition.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspection.
• Visually inspect the igniter for cracks, breaks, or burn damage without touching the fragile heating element.
• During a qualified service test, observe whether the igniter glows when the burner ignition sequence begins; do not bypass safety controls or operate the appliance with panels removed unless following the model-specific service documentation.
• With power disconnected and using the appliance service procedure, test igniter continuity with a multimeter; lack of continuity indicates an open igniter, but continuity alone does not prove the igniter is the only fault.
• If the igniter glows but the burner does not light, do not assume the igniter is defective; other ignition-system components may require diagnosis.
