1CWGD5700VW
Whirlpool 1CWGD5700VW 29-Inch Gas Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Igniter and gas valve coils when there is no heat
- Burner flame and gas supply shutoff
- Lint buildup in the vent run and blower
- Drum belt, rollers and idler pulley
- Door switch and start response
The 1CWGD5700VW is a Whirlpool 29-inch gas dryer. A gas dryer needs a 120-volt outlet for the motor and controls, plus a gas line to the burner, and in Houston it is usually in a laundry closet or garage with a vent to the outside. The number is also sold with revision suffixes, such as 1CWGD5700VW0 and 1CWGD5700VW2.
When a gas dryer turns the drum but gives no heat, we check the igniter, the gas valve coils and the flame sensing parts, and we confirm the gas supply at the valve. Weak heat or long drying times usually lead to the vent run and lint in the blower housing, which is also a safety check. Noise or a drum that will not turn takes us to the belt, rollers and idler pulley.
This is an older style of dryer, and we say plainly when a repair is not worth it. We confirm the complete model and serial from the label before ordering parts, give you a written price before work, and cover our repair with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

My 1CWGD5700VW turns but does not heat. What do you check?
On a gas dryer we test the igniter, the gas valve coils and the sensing parts, and confirm that gas reaches the valve. We also check the vent, because restricted airflow can stop a burner from staying lit.
Why does it take two cycles to dry a load?
The most common cause is restricted airflow from lint in the vent or blower. We check the vent run, clean what we can reach and then check the burner and thermostat.
Does the suffix on the label matter?
Yes. A number such as 1CWGD5700VW2 carries a revision at the end, and parts such as the igniter, valve or control can differ between revisions. We read the full label before ordering.
