George for Model Number DLG2702V Flames up and dries clothes sometimes. Sometimes flame goes out before dryer is hot. Smell slight gas during cycles. Coils ohm out ok. Sensors and thermistor assembly ohm out ok. Control panel diagnostics negative except flow sensor. No flow sensor light during normal operation. All ducts and vents clean. Is it normal for cooling light to be on and the drying light to blink during the cycle? How long are the flames suppose to stay on? Valves? Igniter? Panel? Thanks!
Answer George, based on your description and information, there is a weak or failing solenoid/coil on the gas valve. Unfortunately, the solenoids aren't available as individual repair parts and you will need to replace the gas valve assembly 5221EL2002A. With an empty drum, the burner flame will usually cycle off in 60 to 90 seconds, the type and size of the load would determine when the gas valve would cycle off(by the thermostat/thermister). You may want to recheck the vent hood (outside) to make sure it's not clogged, collapsed, or damaged and check or replace the high limit thermostat to solve the drying and cooling light dilemma.
