Key Features:

• Positioned across from the igniter in the burner box to sense radiant heat

• Helps confirm igniter temperature before gas valve activation

• Thin metal/ceramic construction for quick thermal response

• Two-wire pigtail or spade terminal connection for integration into the dryer’s ignition circuit

• Designed to endure repeated heating cycles and high-temperature environments

• Compatible with various Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related gas dryer models specifying sensor part 338906 or WP338906
