Gas Valve Solenoid Kit
These electromagnetic coils are responsible for mechanically opening the gas valve. Heat-induced stress causes the internal insulation of the copper windings to fail, leading to an 'open' circuit or weakened magnetic field once the dryer is in operation. This prevents the valve from releasing gas even if the igniter is glowing properly.

Flame Sensor (Radiant Sensor)
This bimetallic switch is the primary control for the ignition sequence. If the internal contacts fail to cycle, the dryer will either fail to energize the igniter or fail to switch power to the gas valve coils. Since the user specifically identified this component, it may have suffered a mechanical fatigue failure in the bimetal strip.

Dryer Thermal Fuse
This is a critical safety component designed to fail if the blower housing temperatures exceed safe limits (often due to vent blockages). Because it is wired in series with the burner assembly, a blown fuse will result in a total loss of heat by preventing the igniter from receiving electrical current.
