Gas Valve Coils; Burner Assembly And Lp Conversion - GE DPVH880EJ Technical Service Manual

Burner Assembly and LP Conversion

The burner assembly consists of the gas valve coils,
gas valve, burner, and inlet pipe.
To convert the dryer from natural gas to LP gas,
the burner assembly must be replaced. The burner
cannot be converted to LP gas. Refer to conversion
kit #14-A048.

Gas Valve Coils

The burner assembly has a gas valve that utilizes
4 coils. A double coil (safety and booster coils
combined) and a single main coil are located on top
of the gas valve in front of the combustion chamber
opening. A half-power coil is located on the front of
the gas valve. All coils can be replaced separately.
Gas valve coil assembly resistance values:
• Safety coil terminals - 1400 Ω
• Booster coil terminals - 580 Ω
• Main coil terminals - 1300 Ω
The half-power coil has an approximate resistance
of 1K Ω.
To remove the double and main coils:
1. Remove the drum. (See
2. Disconnect the wire harness from both coils.
