By this age the consumable parts – belt, rollers, glides and igniter – determine whether a dryer keeps going. They are all still available for this family and a single visit can replace several at once.

Owners can keep airflow clear and listen for changes in noise. Because it is a gas appliance, all internal work should be done by a qualified technician with the gas isolated and a leak check afterwards.

FAQ

Whirlpool WGD5840SW Gas Dryer FAQ

Igniters are brittle and fail with age. A cracked one may still glow but will not light the burner reliably, and it should be replaced.
