Whirlpool Gas Dryer Igniter WP37001308, Replaces 37001308

OEM gas dryer igniter that lights the dryer's gas burner. The mounting bracket is no longer included; a separate bracket may be required if the original igniter was round.

Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• No burner ignition or no heat
• Intermittent heating when the igniter fails to reach ignition temperature
• Igniter filament visibly cracked, broken, or not glowing during an ignition attempt

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off the dryer's gas supply before inspection or service.
• With power disconnected, visually inspect the igniter filament for cracks, breaks, or burn damage and inspect its wiring connectors for looseness or damage.
• Confirm the igniter is positioned correctly in its burner assembly and that the required mounting bracket is present; the bracket is not included with WP37001308 when the original dryer used a round igniter.
• If using a multimeter, test only with the dryer disconnected from power and follow the appliance service documentation; do not perform live-voltage testing unless qualified.

Key Features

• Whirlpool OEM gas dryer igniter

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off the dryer's gas supply before installation.
• Verify the replacement against the dryer's exact model and the removed part before fitting it.
• Transfer the igniter wiring connectors without damaging the filament.
• Install the igniter in the same burner-assembly position and ensure it is securely retained.
