When to Replace

• Replace if the dryer fails to produce heat during the drying cycle.
• Inspect for visible cracks, breaks, or white oxidation on the ceramic heating element.
• Use a multimeter to test for electrical continuity; an open circuit indicates the component has burned out.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect the power supply and shut off the gas valve before beginning maintenance.
• Avoid touching the heating element with bare hands, as oils from skin can cause premature failure.
• Ensure the new igniter is securely mounted and the wire connectors are fully seated.
• Consult your appliance service manual for specific access instructions for your dryer model.
