Gas dryer works. Drum turns burner ignites and cloths seem to dry ok. Unit makes loud banging noise sounds like it is coming from behind the drum. What is causing the noise, it came on suddenly but now doesn't stop while the unit is running?
Robert for Model Number LQR7646JQ0
Answer Robert, You'll need to remove the filter, raise the top and remove the front panel, so you can check the belt 341241 for a damaged spot, and the rear drum rollers 349241T for a flat spot, or missing rubber surface. Also check and tighten the drum baffle screws.
Maytag, Centennial, Dryer starts, drum turns, igniter ignites, no heat.
Nor for Model Number MGDC400VW0
Answer Hello Nor. 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. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Ali for Model Number 3XLER5435HQ0
Answer Hello Ali. If the unit is humming, but will not start, try opening the door and taping the switch shut. Then press the start button and use your foot and turn the drum and see if the unit starts to run. If so, you will need to replace the dryer motor W10416572, it is bad.
i have disconnect the dryer to replace belt. after connected the dryer do i have to light a pilot light or something.

Answer Ursula, Apparently you have a Gas dryer ? Yes, you will want to unplug the power cord or turn power off to the machine before you start to repair the dryer. As long as you're careful and don't damage the igniter, you should not have to "light a pilot or something" if your dryer is less than 30 or 40 years old. Most manufacturers went to an electronic or pilotless ignition system back in the 1970's, so you should be fine. Thanks and Good Luck
Dryer turns on, durm turns, ignitor does not glow, tested thermostat in rear and flame sensers both ok. What next?
Troy H. for Model Number LGC8858EQ2
Answer Hello Troy. You will need to start at the igniter, with the dryer turned on, and trace the wires and see where you are loosing the voltage to the igniter. Be careful as you are dealing with live power here doing these test. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
My dryer ran non stop for 7+ hours because the timer was stuck. Now the dryer wont turn on. The thermal fuse passes a continuity test, any thoughts?
Jason for Model Number IED4400VQ1
Answer Hello Jason. You will need to test the door switch 3406107 and the thermal fuse 3392519. They both should read closed for continuity. If bad they will need to be replaced. If both are good, you will need to use your meter and trace and see where the problem is at. The start switch 3977456 may have went out on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
