Description
The Flat Style Dryer Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This essential component is responsible for igniting the gas in the burner, allowing the dryer to heat up and effectively dry your clothes. The igniter heats up to a high temperature to ignite the gas, starting the heating process necessary for drying.
Causes of a bad dryer igniter include wear over time due to repeated heating cycles, electrical failures that prevent the igniter from heating, and physical damage which can cause the igniter to break or malfunction.
 
Symptoms of a bad dryer igniter include:
Dryer not heating up despite being turned on
Gas smell indicating the gas is not being ignited
No visible glow from the igniter area when the dryer is activated
 
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
