My dryer is not heating. What parts do I need to fix this?
James H
Answer Hello James. The first thing you need to check is the ignitor. 279311 Check and make sure it is glowing. If it is ok, then test all the thermal fuses and make sure they are closed or 0 with a multi-meter. The flame sensor will read closed as well. If all of this is good, then you may have bad coils. Hope this helps.

How do I change the dryer ingniter?
James P
Answer Hello James. Lift the top of the dryer by removing the two screws under the lint filter, and releasing the clips in the front corners. Then remove the front panel of the dryer. Once removed you will see the ignitor by the burner. Remove the screws holding the ignitor in place. Be careful installing the ignitor, these are easy to break. Hope this helps.
