Dryer Repair
1

My gas dryer stopped heating. I was told to get new coil valves. The ones said to fit are part 279834. The problem is one of them has 3 prongs to hook up both on my dryer only have 2 prongs. How do I hook up the 3 prong one?

I never seen such set of coils. They usually have 2 & 3 prongs or they have no prongs at all and the wires are coming out of the coils.

If the coils on your dryer have prongs then it suppose to be two plugs to connect them. Those plugs are different: one for two prongs and another one for three prongs.

  • The coil kit (per the model number you posted) AP3094251
