    Replacing Door Switch in Whirlpool Gas Dryer
    I am replacing a door switch that broke off on my Whirlpool Gas Dryer. I have searched the internet for instructions on how to replace it (I have located the replacement part and purchasing the part today) but have had no luck in locating instructions on how to replace the part. I am hoping to save myself the money and not have to have a repairman come to my home and do this job. Can you help. Thank you.

    With power unpluged, May have screws at switch, or when dryer opened up(top up). May see in there.

    Many switches are plastic and you push in on both sides with a very small screw driver on each side to release then just pull out.

Hi, I hope someone can help me. My Maytag gas dryer's igniter glows but then no flame appears. I believe it is the gas valve coils that are bad, so I purchased a replacement kit (3 coils). The instructions say to match the colors of the wires, but my replacement kit has red, black, white...
