Part WE11X29741 Gas Valve Assembly

Purpose

Regulates natural-gas flow to dryer burner.

Details

The WE11X29741 gas valve assembly is a genuine OEM component used in select natural-gas dryers from the GE/Hotpoint family. It controls the flow of gas to the burner when the dryer calls for heat; if the valve fails, you may observe the dryer not heating, only tumbling, or the burner never igniting. Replacing a faulty gas valve restores proper ignition and safe heating operation.

Included Items

One gas-valve assembly (with valve body, solenoid sensing circuit). Mounting screws, gas supply connector and seal/gasket may need reuse or purchase separately.
