Error Code: E14 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Gas error – A flame was not detected on gas-heated dryers.
How to Fix E14 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Turn off the gas supply to the dryer at the shutoff valve.
- Unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet for safety and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Access the burner assembly, which may require removing the front or lower access panel.
- Inspect the igniter (part WE4X693 or 137524000) for any visible cracks or damage. A faulty igniter is a common cause.
- Check the flame sensor (part 137524000 or 5303281135) to ensure it is clean and positioned correctly in the path of the flame.
- Test the gas valve solenoids (kit 279834 or 5303931775) with a multimeter for proper resistance. If they fail the test, they must be replaced.
- After replacing any faulty components, carefully reassemble the dryer, turn the gas back on, and test for proper operation.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

When It’s Better to Replace Than Repair
Dryer repairs are often worth it for small parts, but repeated heating, motor, drum, or control failures can point toward replacement.
Confirm gas vs electric, venting, voltage, doorway clearance, and laundry-space dimensions before ordering.
