Works with Maytag Dryer
The Whirlpool Gas Valve Solenoid Kit worked perfectly with my Maytag Atlantis MDG7600AWW. Although I was initially concerned whether there were subtle diffences in solenoid gas valves for different dryers, I discovered that they are all pretty much standard for most, if not all, gas dryers. If your dryer loses heat, and it's because the gas doesn't stay on, it's likely that one of the valves went bad. You can't go wrong with this kit and replace both of them at the same time on your own.
One of the two coils was DOA.
I ordered these parts to fix my dryer issue and thought the price was too good to be true compared to the prices on other parts siets I checked. The appearance and weight of these coils seemed slightly different than the coils in my dryer. Upon replacing both coils the dryer still didn't work. I ohmed the new and old coils out and determined that only one of the old coils was broken, and only one of the new coils was good. Luckily I was able to put the old three terminal and new two terminal in and get it working. I'd be apprehensive to order these again though.
They Just Work....!
With help from the Internet, I checked the four temp control switches on the back of the dryer for continuity (after running out to buy a meter - First Time User). They were all Good, so another video showed how to pull the drum and check the gas solenoids. I wasn't up for pulling the drum, but I couldn't easily access the solenoids with it in so it had to come out - turns out it was as simple as the video showed...! Even though I didn't quite know if I was correctly testing the two- and three-lead solenoids for continuity, they appeared to be good. BUT, the symptoms everyone else mentioned indicated they were the culprit - the flame would kick on the first time but not again and after 5-8 mins everything went cold. Decided to buy this pair and stick them in. They worked like a CHAMP... They arrived super fast (in the middle of the Christmas rush) and installed even faster. The wife is happy, I'm happy. Thanks Seneca River for a great price on a great fix...!! (Oh, I put them...
