Answer Hello Jon. Run the unit without the vent pipe hooked to it. Make sure the blower wheel inside the dryer is clear, and has no lint build up on it.
Hi. I have an LG dryer. The problem is that the ignitor turns on and then it shuts off quickly. Then the second thing is that the time setting for example when set for an hour, will run for a few minutes and then jumps down to 15 minutes. It does this on any cycle always jumping down to 15 minutes. Can some one please clue me in on whats going on?

Answer Hello Chris. My first guess is a weak coil on the gas burner valve assembly 5221EL2002A. I would make a few checks before ordering any parts. There are two solenoids on the gas valve. Make sure neither one is open (no continuity) or shorted (0 resistance). Also you need to make sure your exhaust isn't crimped, restricted or too long and complicated. Be aware that if you have flexible ducting and it is wadded up behind the unit, the dryer cannot operate properly.
You will need to test the thermostats and the flame sensor and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check the igniter and make sure it is getting hot enough to light the gas. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter for the testing procedures. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
Blows cold air, will not heat up.

How do you replace the igniter part # 5318EL3001A for LG dryer model DLG0332W?
Lucy D. for Model Number DLG0332W
Answer Hi Lucy. You will need to remove the front panel from the dryer to access and replace the ignitor AP4439620. Is is located beside the burner assembly in the bottom of the dryer, under the drum. Thank You.
We think the ignitor on our dryer has gone out. Where in the dryer is the ignitor located so that I can remove and replace?

What is the ohms of the igniter p/n 5318EL3001A for this dryer?
John T for Model Number DLG5966W
Answer Hello John! We do not have the ohm reading listed for this igniter. The way to tell if it's bad or not is to unplug the connector, and with the dryer running see if it's got 120 volts going to it. If it does and the ignitor isn't glowing red then it's bad. If it doesn't have voltage to it then some other part that feeds it voltage is the problem. Hope this helps!
