Hi, the burner will fire for a minute or so, then it quits and only the ignitor turns on every few minutes. Like it is trying to fire but the gas does not turn on? I see only 2 wires to the valve assembly so I am hoping this is the problem. As another asked, I do hear a slight buzz when the ignitor turns on. This is a new sound.

Answer Mike,
The weak "chattering" coil kit part # 5303931775 will not hold current well and not allow the solenoid valve plungers to stay open. Use a volt/ohm meter part # TJMA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Dryer Gas Coils: Check the coils 279834 and see if they test good. You can test the coils using a multi-meter TJMA-DM1. The two prong coil will read 1,000-1,300 ohms, and the three prong coil will read 1,300-1,400 ohms across prongs 1&2, and 500-600 ohms across prongs 1&3. Thank You.
My gas dryer has started taking longer to dry..I replaced the coils and it makes a buzzing noise while the igniter is on..it does dry after running for about 90 mins..now what

Answer John,
Check your venting from the blower wheel to the outside of home to make sure that it is clear. This is the most common reason for longer drying times.
I smell gas only when the dryer is running, what could be the cause?

Answer Hi Mikel. Remove the front lower middle panel. Shut off the safety gas valve. Use liquid leak detector spray part # TJLDL-1QS to test the joints after you have tightened them. If you absolutely have not found anything then it sounds like the Gas valve assy. part # 5303207409 needs replaced. Thank You.

Where is the regulator located on the fgr341ac1?
Mike M for Model Number fgr341ac1
Answer Hello Mike. The regulator is made onto the gas valve assembly 5303207409. Hope this helps.
I've checked all thermostats and heat sensors. I have replaced the coils but no gas passes through. Bulb lights up.I believe it might be the gas assembly.Thanks!
Tony for Model Number FGR341AC1
Answer Hello Tony. Make sure the pressure regulator is good. If so, and all the other parts are good, it sounds like you have narrowed it down to the gas valve 5303207409. Hope this helps.
