Mike for Model Number MDG5500AWW My gas dryer comes on, the glow bar turns red and the gas lights. Then the gas goes out, the glow bar will turn red but no gas. This will go on for a few times, then the gas will light but goes out quickly. I was told that this is a thermostat that is bad, but now which one? I think there are 3 thermostats, sensors etc.

They come in a kit with the two coils together as part number 279834. Kill the power to the unit before you start and if you have any mechanics gloves, it's not a bad idea as many edges inside the unit can break blood. Read More...
