The leak limiter or natural gas limiter is used in dryers. This part acts as a cover of the adjustment screw on the pressure regulator. If you are changing from propane (LP) back to natural gas, it is best to replace this part. To convert your washer from LP to natural gas, remove the top of the dryer and screws to access the computer. When control panel is accessed, remove the wire harnesses in the front and the control panel itself. Next, remove the access panel and disconnect the wire that activates the moisture sensor. Remove the main front panel using a 1/4 inch nut driver and the belt from the pulley. Once you pull out the drummer you now have access to the gas valve. Refer to the diagram for further installation instructions. Remember to unplug your dryer from the power source for safety.

My dryer lights and runs for about a minute and then the burner turns off for a minute then lights again what would cause this.

Hello. I have a Kenmore 90 Series gas dryer as per the model number. I'm getting a smell of natural gas after changing thermostat fuse, solenoids, cycling thermostat and a thermostat.
All repairs are done and working. However, I'm left a low smell of gas when the dryer is not in use and plugged in. I'm thinking now that it is gas valve or part of it called the orifice.
Can you tell me if this sounds right to you and what is the difference between orifice and orifice limiter.
Thank you.
For model number 11077904790
Hello Bernie, thank you for contacting us. We would suggest checking the gas valve kit, part number PS334359, for gas leakage issue. A loose fitting at the gas valve might cause the gas leakage problem. The burner orifice controls the flow of gas from the burner tubes. Whereas, the orifice limiter acts as a cover of the adjustment screw on the pressure regulator. We hope this information helps!
