- 1). Unplug the dryer from its power outlet.
- 2). Turn off the gas line to the dryer. This is typically a blue lever that's off when it's horizontal.
- 3). Review your dryer’s owner’s manual and determine where the heating element is located. In a gas dryer, the heating unit is typically accessible through a back access panel. However, some models may require you to go through the front and pull out the drum. For instructions on this task, see the Resource section below.
- 4). Unscrew the plug on the gas ignitor. It will be brass-colored and have a small nylon pin sticking out. Replace this plug with the new one from the LP We25x0217 kit.
- 5). Unscrew the orifice metering plug located in the burner. This will also be brass-colored, sitting on a steel body. Replace it with the new plug from your kit.
- 6). Remove the leak limiting device from the top of the burner harness and replace it with the blocking pin from your kit.
- 7). Turn the gas back on and leak check the replaced parts by placing some soapy water over the area. If there are any bubbles, then you have a leak. If not, you can reassemble the dryer and test it out.
