Step By Step Instructions
1
As with any repair, be sure you've unplugged the appliance before beginning.
2
Your first step is to pull out the lint screen and remove the two screws near the opening.
3
Next, insert a putty knife under the front of the main top to release the two spring clips and rotate the top up.
4
Disconnect the door switch wires and remove the top front panel screws.
5
Now lift the panel up and out.
6
If your model has two front panels, simply remove the lower panel by inserting a flat head screwdriver to release the two clips.
7
Detach the appropriate wire harness from the old solenoid coil you're replacing.
8
Remove the screws to release the bracket and pull the old coil off of the gas valve.
9
Install the new solenoid coil by sliding it onto the gas valve shaft.
10
Replace the bracket and secure with the screws.
11
Reconnect the wire harness.
12
If applicable to your model, replace the lower front panel by snapping it into place.
13
If your model has a solid front panel, line up the drum with the front panel seal, then align the slots with the retaining clips and press down the panel until it locks into place.
14
Now reinstall the two screws on top and reconnect the door switch wires.
15
Rotate the main top back into place and press down on the front to secure the spring clips.
16
Install the two screws at the lint screen opening, replace the lint screen, and plug the appliance back in to make sure it's functioning properly.
