Be sure you want do to this project!

I ended up returning the igniter. Replacing one on my Kenmore dryer appears impossible without removing the drum, etc. Not a quick project. But I appreciate SPD's return policies and procedures.

Kenmore Elite Ignitor install
March 01, 2022|George, Illinois
Had to replace the igniter on a used dryer that I bought. I think the old one probably broke during transit. Installation was a little tricky only because the mounting screw was in a tight spot. I got it installed and she fired right up. My wife wasn't very happy. I think she was beginning to enjoy the time off from doing laundry.

Igniters are not easy to install
September 08, 2018|BBQ2018, Indiana
We had sears come out and diagnose the problem. That cost us $89.00. They said it was the igniter and it would cost $258.00 for them to install it so I ordered the part and my husband installed it. He used to work for a propane gas company so he knew what he was doing. The machine still didn't heat. So I went out and bought a new dryer rather than sink more money into a 10.5 year old dryer.
