1969 KM Gas Dryer
You need to replace the valve coils, all three coils come in a kit from Whirlpool PT# 279137, you may also want to replace the igniter if you still have the round one, as opposed to the newer flat ones.
To replace the valve coils and or the igniter, unplug the electrical connector as seen in your picture, then turn off the gas and loosen and unscrew the pipe union next to the shut-off valve and then remove the two 5/16" screws from the valve bracket that attaches the assembly to the floor of the dryer, also pull the white and blue wires off the heat sensor. Then you can pull the whole assembly out far enough to change the bad parts, Be very careful not to kink or stress the tiny copper tube that is connected to the front of the valve assembly. This is what makes the modulating burner function and if you break it you will be out of luck unless you can find a good used one, as they are NLA.
