Replacing the gas solenoid in a Kenmore dryer 1107698250 is a task that requires safety precautions and careful handling of gas components. The gas solenoid controls the flow of gas to the burner assembly. Here's a general guide to help you through the process: 1. Safety Precautions: Ensure the gas supply is turned off and the dryer is unplugged before starting the repair. If you're unsure about working with gas components, consider seeking the assistance of a professional technician. 2. Access the Burner Assembly Area: To access the gas solenoid, you'll need to remove the front or rear panel of the dryer, depending on the model. Consult your user manual for specific instructions. 3. Disconnect the Gas Line: If the gas line is connected to the dryer, carefully disconnect it. You might need a wrench to loosen the fittings. Be prepared to catch any residual gas that escapes when disconnecting the line. 4. Locate the Gas Solenoid Valve: The gas solenoid valve is usually located near the burner assembly. It's responsible for controlling the flow of gas to the burner. 5. Disconnect Wires: Before disconnecting any wires, take pictures or label them to ensure proper reconnection. Gently disconnect the wires from the solenoid valve. 6. Remove the Old Solenoid Valve: The solenoid valve might be secured with screws or clips. Remove any fasteners holding it in place. Carefully slide out the old solenoid valve. 7. Install the New Solenoid Valve: Slide the new solenoid valve into the same position as the old one. Align it with the mounting holes. 8. Secure with Mounting Hardware: Use the screws or clips you removed earlier to secure the new solenoid valve in place. Make sure it's snug but not overly tightened. 9. Reconnect Wires: Attach the wires to the new solenoid valve according to your notes or photos. Ensure each wire is securely connected to the corresponding terminal. 10. Reassemble the Dryer: Reattach the front or rear panel you removed earlier. Make sure all panels are securely fastened. 11. Reconnect the Gas Line: If you disconnected the gas line, carefully reconnect it and tighten the fittings with a wrench. 12. Plug in and Test: Plug the dryer back in and run a test cycle to ensure that the new gas solenoid valve is functioning properly. Monitor the burner's operation and check for any gas leaks. Remember, this is a general guide, and the specific steps might vary for your model. Consult your Kenmore dryer 1107698250's user manual or refer to online resources for model-specific instructions and diagrams. If you're not comfortable with the repair process, consider seeking the assistance of a professional appliance technician, especially when dealing with gas components.
