The Whirlpool 279834 kit contains the gas-valve solenoid coils used to control fuel flow to the burner on compatible gas dryers.
The kit includes a three-terminal booster/holding coil and a two-terminal secondary coil. Weak coils can cause intermittent heating or a burner that ignites when cold but fails to reopen later in the cycle.
Gas dryer heating problems can also involve the igniter, flame sensor, gas supply, thermostats, or control circuit, so diagnose the burner system before replacing parts.
Compatibility Note: 279834 fits many Whirlpool-built gas dryers using the compatible two-coil gas valve design. Confirm the complete dryer model and valve configuration before ordering.
Important Safety Note: Disconnect electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing a gas dryer. After service, gas connections and burner operation must be checked according to applicable safety procedures.
Installation Note: Install both coils in their original valve positions, retain any required spacer or bracket hardware, reconnect the terminals securely, and verify safe burner ignition and gas-valve operation after reassembly.
