How to Fix E14 Error

UNPLUG THE DRYER and SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY VALVE. This is for gas dryers only.
First, confirm the gas supply valve behind the dryer is fully open. If it is, proceed with the repair.
Remove the dryer’s front panel to access the burner assembly. The gas valve with the solenoids will be visible.
Disconnect the wires from the solenoids. They are typically held on by a simple bracket. Remove the bracket and lift the old solenoids off.
Install the new solenoids from the kit, re-secure the bracket, and reconnect the wires. Reassemble, turn the gas back on, and check for leaks with soapy water before plugging in and testing.
