Mike for Model Number MDG6700A The gas dryer ignites with front off and no venting (fooled the door switch). It stays on for 30 seconds and turns off. Checked Hi limit, and all sensors and coils. They are all within specifications. Could this be a weak hi-limit thermostat?
Answer Hello Mike, This is definitely a coil or safety valve issue. I would probably replace the coils 279834 first in case one is breaking down under load.
