This Part Fixes These Problems

No Heat

Gas dryer runs and drum spins normally but produces zero heat. The solenoid coils have failed open and can no longer energize to open the M-series gas valve, preventing gas from reaching the burner assembly.

Intermittent Heat / Flame Goes Out

Burner lights at the start of a cycle but flame extinguishes after 15–60 seconds and does not re-light. Coils may pass a cold resistance test yet fail intermittently once they reach operating temperature.

Takes Too Long to Dry

Clothes require multiple cycles to dry completely. A weakened secondary coil allows only partial gas valve opening, reducing gas flow and heat output below normal drying temperatures.

Timer Does Not Advance

Dryer timer stalls or does not advance at the expected rate during the drying cycle. Insufficient heat generation caused by faulty coils prevents the thermostat from cycling normally, stalling timer progression.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Confirm Your Gas Valve Coils Are Bad

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Dryer runs but produces no heat — drum spins but clothes stay wet

⚠️ Igniter glows orange/white hot, then shuts off without the gas burner lighting

⚠️ Flame ignites at start of cycle, then goes out after 15–60 seconds and never re-lights

⚠️ Cycles take 2× longer than normal; timer does not advance at the expected rate

🔬 Diagnostic tip: Use a multimeter on the coil terminals at operating temperature — coils can test good when cold but fail open when hot. Always replace both coils at the same time; the manufacturer recommends replacing the full kit together. If the igniter glows brightly but gas never flows, these coils are the #1 suspect.

📦 What's in the Box

✅ 1× 3-Terminal Boost/Hold Solenoid Coil (1,300–1,400 Ω / 500–600 Ω)

✅ 1× 2-Terminal Secondary Solenoid Coil (1,000–1,300 Ω)

Questions & Answers

How do I know if my 279834 gas valve coils are bad and not the igniter?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Watch the igniter through the burner viewing area during a cycle. If the igniter glows orange-to-white hot but the burner never lights — or lights briefly then goes out — the coils are the primary suspect, not the igniter. A working igniter that cannot open the gas valve points directly to failed coils. You can confirm with a multimeter: the 3-terminal coil should read 1,300–1,400 Ω across pins 1 & 2 and 500–600 Ω across pins 1 & 3; the 2-terminal coil should read 1,000–1,300 Ω. An open (infinite) reading means the coil has failed. Note: coils can test good when cold but fail once hot — so a passing cold test doesn't always rule them out.
Does this kit fit my Kenmore 80 Series / 500 Series gas dryer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Yes. The 279834 coil kit is compatible with Kenmore 80 Series, 500, 600, 700, and 800 Series gas dryers, as well as Kenmore Elite HE3/HE4/HE5 gas models, as long as your dryer uses a 120V M-series gas valve. Check the model number tag (usually inside the door frame) and verify with our compatibility list. Common compatible Kenmore model prefixes include 110.70xxx and 110.87xxx series.
Why does the kit include two different coils — do I need to replace both?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Yes — always replace both coils together. The kit includes a 3-terminal boost/hold coil and a 2-terminal secondary coil because both must be functioning for the M-series gas valve to open. If one coil fails, the other is typically near the end of its service life as well. Replacing only one coil often leads to a repeat failure within weeks. The manufacturer specifically recommends replacing the full kit at the same time to ensure a complete, lasting repair.
Will this 279834 coil kit work on my Samsung gas dryer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
In many cases, yes. The 279834 coil kit is confirmed compatible with several Samsung gas dryer models that use the same M-series valve design, such as the Samsung DV209AGW. However, compatibility depends on your specific Samsung model number. Please verify your model before ordering — if your Samsung dryer uses a different valve style, a different coil part number may be required.
My dryer gets heat only at the very start of the cycle and then the flame shuts off permanently — is this the 279834 coil kit?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
That is the classic symptom of failed gas valve coils. The primary (boost) coil energizes to open the valve on first ignition, but the secondary (hold) coil — which keeps the valve open during the cycle — has failed. Once the initial burst of energy from the boost coil dissipates, the valve closes and cannot re-open. Replacing the 279834 kit restores both coil functions and resolves this intermittent heat pattern. Also check the radiant flame sensor (338906) and high-limit thermostat while the dryer is open, as these components can produce similar symptoms.
