Testing the gas valve coils on a dryer is a crucial step in diagnosing and repairing any issues related to the gas supply to the dryer. The gas valve coils are responsible for controlling the flow of gas to the burner, and a faulty coil can lead to a variety of problems, including the dryer not heating properly or even a gas leak.
There are a few simple steps that you can follow to test the gas valve coils on your dryer. First, unplug the dryer from the power outlet and turn off the gas supply. Then, remove the front panel of the dryer to access the gas valve. Once you have located the gas valve, you will need to identify the two terminals on the coil. These terminals will typically be labeled “T1” and “T2”.
