Product review (5 stars): This was the exact same part number as the Whirlpool ...
This was the exact same part number as the Whirlpool coils, but cost $5.50 including shipping instead of $7.99. The coils not only solved the problem of the heat only coming on the first time the dryer was turned on, but vastly improved the drying capability of the dryer over the past five years. The dryer is 11 years old. It is obvious that these coils that control the gas valve, gradually weaken and intermittantly won't open the gas valve during the drying cycle. From now on, we will change them every five years even if the dryer is working. for $5.50 and a half hour of time, what is there to loose?
