General Electric Dryer Gas Igniter
PartSelect Number PS3527801
Manufacturer Part Number 5318EL3001A
This spiral-style gas burner igniter is designed for use in select gas dryers and plays a crucial role in generating the heat needed to dry clothes. Operating at 120 volts, the igniter glows red hot during the drying cycle to ignite the gas that heats the drum. If your dryer runs but fails to produce heat, the igniter may be faulty and should be replaced. The assembly includes the igniter, bracket, wire harness, and plug for straightforward installation. Always disconnect the dryer from power before beginning any repairs to ensure safety.

Installation Instructions
Barbara from CUDAHY, WI
no heat
I replaced the thermistor, then the gas ignitor which were easy to get to once the drum was out. The gas is still not igniting so not sure where to go from here. Putting the drum belt back on took some muscle. But then I'm 71.

Then I opened the dryer, but I did not remove the belt as suggested in the video, and then I removed the ignitor and flame detecter as the videos had shown.
I got on-line and ordered the new parts from PartsSelect in the afternoon and had them in my hands the next morning by 9:30 am.
I installed the new parts and everything worked fine again. You must be very careful with the igniter to not touch it with hands or anything else. I practiced puting in the old parts first. Read more...
