Whirlpool 306106 Gas Dryer Valve Coil Kit

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 306106 is a gas valve coil kit designed for residential gas dryers. The coils create an electromagnetic field when energized, which opens the gas valve and allows gas to flow to the igniter and burner assembly. Without functional coils, the gas valve stays closed, the dryer drum may still tumble, but no heat is produced. This kit supplies the replacement coils needed to restore the gas valve to proper operation and return the dryer to full heating function. It is installed by appliance repair technicians or experienced DIYers familiar with gas appliance service.

This coil kit is used in residential gas dryer applications where the original valve coils have failed or degraded. A common symptom indicating coil failure is a dryer that runs and tumbles normally but produces no heat. Replacing the coil kit restores the electromagnetic activation of the gas valve, allowing gas to reach the burner and the dryer to complete its drying cycles. The raw_title references part number 279834 as a related or superseded identifier.
