# Samsung gas dryer igniter replacement

### Three parts in a sequence, told apart by watching one start

The igniter glows, the gas valve opens, and the flame sensor confirms the flame so the valve stays open. Samsung reports a failure of that sequence as HC2. Watching one start attempt separates the three: no glow, glow with no flame, or a flame that lights and dies each point somewhere different. Gas work is not an owner repair and we will say so plainly.

What this involves

Igniter, coils and flame sensor tested as a sequence

Gas supply confirmed before the appliance is blamed

Not a job for an owner, and we will say so

Watch a start attempt

Whether the igniter glows, and whether the flame lights and then goes out, separates the three parts immediately.

Watch a start attempt before anything is opened

No glow, glow with no flame, or a flame that lights and dies — three patterns, three different parts.

Test the valve coils

They are the most common of the three and they are measured rather than replaced with the igniter as a set.

Prove it over several cycles

A burner that lights once is not a burner that has been fixed. It is run repeatedly before we leave.

### It worked yesterday and today it tumbles cold.

That is the usual way this appears. Check other gas appliances in the house work, then stop cycling it — repeated attempts do not help and they make the diagnosis harder.

### Will you tell me the price before you start?

Yes, in writing, after the diagnostic and before anything is opened. Every figure on this site is a starting point; the number you agree to is the one you pay.
