Dryer Igniter Replacement Parts and Kits

A dryer igniter is a crucial component in gas dryers, responsible for producing the heat necessary to ignite gas and generate hot air for drying clothes. Without a properly functioning igniter, a dryer may continue to run, but it will fail to heat, leaving clothes damp, extending drying times, and increasing energy consumption.

Dryer igniter assemblies streamline replacement by including the igniter, mounting bracket, and wiring connections for easy, secure installation. For more comprehensive solutions, complete igniter kits feature additional components like ceramic insulators, high-temperature wires, and durable connectors, ensuring reliable operation and long-term performance. Early signs of a malfunctioning igniter include the dryer not heating, unusual clicking sounds, or extended drying times. Addressing these issues prevents further damage.

FAQs

How does a dryer gas igniter help in starting the heating process?

A dryer gas igniter heats up and glows to ignite the gas burner, starting the heating cycle needed to dry clothes.

Why won’t my dryer heat even though it’s running?

A common cause is a faulty dryer igniter that fails to heat up. Without the igniter glowing, the gas valve won’t open, preventing heat from being produced.

What comes in a dryer igniter kit?

A dryer igniter kit usually includes the igniter, mounting bracket, ceramic insulators, high-temp wiring, and connectors for safe and complete installation.

Can a dryer igniter burn out over time?

Yes, igniters are exposed to high heat and can crack or wear out after repeated use. Replacing them with a dryer igniter replacement restores proper function.

Is it better to replace just the igniter or the whole assembly?

If only the igniter is damaged, a dryer igniter replacement works fine. However, if wiring or mounting parts are worn, a full dryer igniter assembly is recommended.
