New valve coils solved our problem
Dryer gas would shut off after 18 seconds and not restart unless we waited awhile. Also, it sounded like the current solenoids were chattering a bit. All sensors checked out so we tried a pair of new coils. They worked perfectly. An inexpensive, easy repair to save an old unit.

Solenoid coils for my old Series 70 Kenmore dryer
We've had our Kenmore gas dryer for about 27 years. Things break, but I've replaced thermal fuses, solenoids, etc., and kept it running for all that time. Ordering was easy, parts arrived, and everything worked. Plus, the Sears Parts Direct youtube "how tos" are money. Made it easy for a weekend warrior.

Always replace parts with what it was born with
Factory parts are worth the extra $ for the piece of mind they'll fit perfect. The live chat agent troubleshot my dryer issue, picked out the right parts and my 20yr old dryer is now back in service!

Exactly correct part, super quick shipping!
I decided to buy these from Sears even though they are a bit more expensive. I paid more, but had the peace of mind knowing they were to the correct specifications for my dryer. Installing them was a breeze as the shapes and orientation made for proper fit. Dryer is working perfectly again!
