GE Gas Dryer Ignitor WW02F00740 — Fits Hotpoint, Kenmore & More

Is This the Part You Need?

This is the WW02F00740 Gas Dryer Ignitor — the hot surface ignitor that lights the gas burner in your dryer. When this part fails, the dryer drum spins normally but produces zero heat, leaving clothes wet no matter how long the cycle runs. It’s the most common cause of a gas dryer that runs but won’t dry. This part replaces OEM numbers WG04F01591, WW02F00002, WE4X739, WE04X25996, WG03F08568, WW01F01432, 248C1185G001, and 248C1186P002.

Symptoms This Part Fixes

• Dryer runs but produces no heat — clothes come out wet
• Ignitor glows but gas never ignites (weak ignitor not drawing enough current)
• Dryer takes 2–3 cycles to dry a normal load
• Visible crack or break in the ignitor element
• Ignitor doesn’t glow at all when dryer starts
• Burning smell from the burner area
• Error code related to ignition failure on the control board

Installation Notes

• Skill Level: Intermediate — comfort with appliance disassembly required
• Disconnect power AND shut off gas supply before starting — this repair involves both electrical and gas components
• Check the thermal fuse first — a blown thermal fuse cuts power to the ignitor and mimics ignitor failure; replace it if blown or you’ll burn out the new ignitor
• Handle the silicon carbide element with care — do not touch the element with bare hands; skin oils cause hot spots and premature failure
• Confirm wire lead connector seats fully before reassembly — a loose connection causes intermittent ignition
• Test for heat on the first cycle before closing up the dryer cabinet
