One of the most common problems of dryers - not drying clothes. If you have the same problem, there are few things that you can do to solve this problem. First of all we have prepared a short list of the regular maintenance. They could help you, if not, you must replace the dryer gas valve coil kit. Just follow our instructions step-by-step. Our instruction for GE gtd33easkww and other similar models.
Preventive maintenance for a dryer includes cleaning lint from the vent tube that runs from the dryer to the outdoors. Trapped lint can clog the vent, which creates a fire hazard and can increase drying times. A clogged vent tube also can cause the dryer to overheat and trip the thermal fuse, causing the dryer to stop. Check the power cord for damage and replace the cord if you see any break in the wiring insulation. Clean the outside cabinet and the inside of the drum using a soapy washcloth. Wipe down the surfaces with plain water to remove soap residue. Wash the lint screen with water and a soft-bristle brush to remove fabric softener residue that can build up on the lint screen, lead to longer drying times and even cause the dryer to overheat. Allow the lint screen to dry completely and then reinstall the screen in the dryer. If after these you still have problems with drying, you need to replace the gas valve coil kit.
- Shutting off the power and gas supply. Unplug the dryer to disconnect electrical power. Shut off the gas supply to the dryer. Wear work gloves to protect your hands.
- Raising the cabinet top. Pull the lint screen out of the housing in the top panel of the dryer. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 2 screws that secure the lint screen housing to the top panel. To release the clips that lock the top of the dryer in place, push a putty knife under the lid near the left and right edges of the front of the dryer. Lift the top and prop it securely against the wall behind the dryer.
- Removing the front panel. Use a slot screwdriver to release the locking tab on the wire harness plug for the door switch. Disconnect the wire harness. Use a 5/16-inch nut driver to remove the front panel mounting screws from the inside of the cabinet. Pull the front panel forward slightly, and then lift and unhook it from the 2 bottom hangers. Pull the front panel off of the dryer and set it aside.
- Removing the coils. Pull the wire harness plugs off of the valve coils. Remove the mounting screws from the mounting bracket and then pull the mounting bracket off of the top of the valve coils. Pull the valve coils off of the burner assembly.
- Installing the new coils. Attach the new coils to the burner assembly. Reinstall the bracket and reinstall the screws. Replace the wire harness plugs on the new valve coils.
- Reinstalling the front panel. Position the front panel on the hangers at the bottom of the cabinet. Line up the mounting holes and reinstall the screws in the top of the front panel to secure it to the dryer cabinet. Plug the wire harness back into the plug on the door switch. Make sure the locking tab engages properly.
- Reassembling the top panel. Lower the top panel and snap it into place. Reinstall the screws in the lint duct housing and reinstall the lint screen.
- Restoring power and the gas supply. Plug the dryer into the wall outlet. Turn on the gas supply to the dryer.
