- Fix Number:
- FIX334180
- Manufacturer #:
- 279311
- Manufactured by:
- Whirlpool
- Product Description
- This is a genuine OEM replacement igniter kit for your gas-heated clothes dryer. The silicon carbide igniter is used to light the gas that creates the heat in order to dry your clothes. If your dryer is not heating, takes a long time to dry clothes, or has low heat you may want to consider replacing your igniter. This kit can be used to replace both round and flat igniters, and comes with a 3-inch flat igniter, bracket, 4-inch wire lead, and the plug. Before beginning this repair, please ensure that the power and gas is disconnected from the range. As the igniter is located within the burner assembly, you will need a variety of tools to complete the installation. These tools include a putty knife, a small flat blade screwdriver, a 5/16 nut driver, and a 5/16 socket with a ratchet. This part should be handled with care, as the igniter is very fragile.
