Before ordering:
-
Verify your dryer’s model number and serial number (found on the door frame or rear panel).
-
Compare your existing igniter’s mounting bracket, terminal connector style, and physical style (flat vs round) to the replacement.

If the dryer has other issues (blocked venting, burner valve problems, wiring issues), simply replacing the igniter may not fix all symptoms—consider a full diagnostic.
