He does open the interesting question, why they sell replacement solenoid
coils for gas dryer valves, but not for furnace valves?

The OP has a Trane, which opens interesting questions. I've found that often
Trane parts don't interchange with other brands, so that may be a concern.

I have repaired bad solder joints on the little circuit boards on gas
valves but the solenoids I've seen in the defective valves could
possibly be replaced if new ones were available but because of liability
concerns, I doubt that any repair company would want to do it. You may
find a simple bad connection but if there is scoring or any mechanical
damage to the valve, you'd be much safer replacing the valve.

But Trane doesn't make the gas valve anyway. And it's not proprietary
in any way, from what I know.
