Frank for Model Number Whirlpool LGR7646EQO The automatic cycle timer doesn't advance. (Tried it with vent off, still dosen't advance.) Timed cycle advances. No heat in the dryer on any cycle.
Answer Frank, On this style dryer, if the timer advances in the timed dry selection, there's a 99% chance the timer is not the issue. If the timer won't advance in the auto dry selection, there's a 99% chance, it is due to a heat issue. You'll need to remove the 1X1 in. plasticcover on the front pnel, start the dryer on any heat cycle and observe the ignition procedure through the opening under the inspection hole cover. When you sttart the dryer, the igniter should glow for 30 to 60 seconds, you should hear a slight click and the igniter should start to fayed and the gas released should ignite. No glow from the igniter would indicate a broken igniter 279311 , faulty sensor WP338906 or open thermostat W11050897 WP3387134 . If the igniter cycles on and off, but there's no flame, then the issue would be a gas supply issue or most likely weak or inop coil assembly 279834 . Thanks Read More...
