Maytag MCG8000AWW gas valve

[irasend]

My 20 year old Maytag 2 cabinet dryer is leaking a small amount of blowby gas from the valve when the dryer is off. Not a huge amount, but enough for me to notice. Wife loves this machine and does not want to replace it, as apparently 2 cabinet machines are no longer made.  The replacement gas valve is a WP31001485 (the original valve number was 53-3874), but Whirlpool stopped making it, and I can't find one anywhere. In doing some crossreferencing, I am thinking that this is a White-Rodgers 25M01A-101 valve set up as a 25M01A-177. I ordered that valve, but wanted to run it by this forum in case anyone knows of a reason not to go with that setup.

I did not get the numbers you mention no one on the board will tell you to go for it because the part is Not available anymore too much liability if you  blow up  your house or self.

Better make sure you are right before you take the chances you are about to take. In my area in Los Angeles a guys house just blew up because a contractor did something wrong and something with the dryer was not right.  The homeowner is in the  hospital and the entire house blew up, damaged another house to boot. This is a year after the house was completed. (ADU)
