Carl for Model Number MDG30000AWW ELEMENT GLOWS GAS COMES ON FEW SECONDS THEN GOES OUT COMES ON FEW SECONDS LATER GOES OUT AGAIN DOES THE GAS VALVE HAVE TO BE REPLACED
Answer Carl, No the gas valve does not need to be replaced, your first option should be to disconnect the exhaust vent from the back of the dryer and run the dryer empty, and check for the heat process for a few(15-20 minutes) You may have a clogged exhaust vent system and are cycling the safety thermostat, due to the wrong air flow in the dryer. You may also have a weak set of gas valve coils 279834 if the unit stops releasing the gas for ignition and burn, Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
