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.
Pro Tip
Do not touch the gray igniter element; handle the part by its white plastic insulator or covering to reduce the risk of damage.

- Install the igniter in the same burner-assembly position and ensure it is securely retained.
