Got it. I'll confirm tomorrow. I'm done farting around with it for today. When I took it apart before there was definitely gas when I lifted up the diaphragm. Also I got tired of reassembling the drum and I'm checking for flame with the door off and the wires connected.

If you hear hear primary valve click.. then a buzz.. almost always valve coils not actuating valve cores correctly. Replace with new valve coils on primary and secondary and test again..., sometimes with valve coil failures it will also take a few cycles to see the valve failure once the coils heat up a bit..

Have you done any further testing?

Posted

Yes...flame sensor and thermostats test fine.

I haven't had a chance to put it all back together and check for gas at the valve plug. I'm about done farting around with it and am ready to just replace the valves. I'm stubborn,but my time is also limited. I have stupid hours in this thing already.

You can use any White-Rodgers dryer gas valve, just reuse your current orefice. My parts guy's cheapest one was in a Samsung bag oddly enough.

Cool, thanks. I know this is a common valve,just wasn't sure how to cross-check between brands.
