Warren for Model Number mdg5500 When changing setting from High temp to low temp, the flames goes out. Try restarting the dry, the igniter does not glow. Waited for a few minutes... set the temp back to high, the flames starts up. What can cause the flames to go out when changing the temp setting from high to low? Thank you.
Answer Warren, When you adjust the temperature from the high temp.(155 dgs.F.) to the low temp. (130 dgrs.F.) It is normal for the flame to shut down, if the drum temp. is higher than the temperature selected. The drum temp then has to expel the warm air, until the temperature drops below the lower temp. (+ 10 % approx., 110 to 115 dgrs.F.) Then the gas valve resets and starts the ignition and heat process all over again. This could take quite some time, with a load of wet or damp articles.
