- Diagnosis to confirm the failed part before ordering
- Professional testing of the ignition sequence
- Coil or valve replacement
- Gas leak check on disturbed connections
- Heat test
This stage requires professional testing. Full diagnosis involves hazards such as live line voltage, gas, a sealed refrigerant system or microwave high voltage. Do not attempt it yourself.
Why the price varies
- Coils only vs complete valve
- Condition of the flame sensor and igniter
When this repair makes sense
- Almost always on a gas dryer in reasonable condition
When replacement may be the better choice
- Not by itself
Signs the gas valve may not be the problem
- An igniter that glows and then the flame does not hold can be weak coils, but it can also be a flame sensor problem.
- A closed gas shutoff behind the dryer stops heat with a good valve.
- Gas work requires professional testing because of leak and combustion risks.
