Whirlpool 279923vp Gas Valve

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 279923vp is a genuine OEM gas valve designed for use in Whirlpool-manufactured residential dryers. The gas valve controls the flow of gas to the burner assembly, allowing the dryer to generate the heat needed for drying cycles. When this valve fails, the dryer runs but produces no heat, or it may ignite and then shut off prematurely. This part is sourced directly from Whirlpool, ensuring it meets the original design specifications. Installation is typically performed by a qualified appliance technician or experienced service professional.

This gas valve is intended for residential gas dryer applications. It mounts in the dryer's burner assembly housing and works in conjunction with the igniter, flame sensor, and coil kit to regulate gas flow during the heating cycle. Units presenting symptoms such as no heat, intermittent heat, or burner shutoff after ignition are common candidates for this replacement valve.

Installation Notes

Gas valve replacement should be performed by a licensed appliance repair technician or a qualified professional familiar with gas appliance service.

After reinstallation, leak-test all gas connections with an approved leak-detection solution before returning the unit to service.
