James March 22, 2019 for Model Number dbxr463gboww The dryer started and the igniter fires, however it still is not blowing hot air. Not sure how to check the coils?
1 Answer James, you may want to test the coils [279834]. The two prong coil will read 1,000-1,300 ohms, and the three prong coil will read 1,300-1,400 ohms across prongs 1&2, and 500-600 ohms across prongs 1&3. Here is a link you can refer to for help with using a multi meter: http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html. If the coils test good, then the ignitor [WE4X739] may not have enough resistance to properly heat up and engage the flame sensor. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Dave. No, based on the numbers you provided, the coil is bad in the unit. The two prong coil will read 1,000-1,300 ohms. Read More...
Rich December 12, 2013 for Model Number Ge dyer,model dcvh640gj1ww Dryer runs you hear gas come on ,few minutes and just runs no heat,,are the coils mess up? What do the coils operate?
1 Answer Hello Rich. Yes, it sounds like the coils need to be replaced. The coils are on the gas valve and when energized, release gas to keep the flame going. If bad, the flame will short cycle like yours is. Read More...

Tim June 25, 2011 for Model Number DBXR463GBOWW The ignitor glows fine, but the gas will not turn on?
1 Answer Hi Tim. Try replacing your primary and secondary coils, part #279834. Weak coils will not allow opening for gas flow. Thank-you. Read More...
Repairguy June 01, 2011 for Model Number DBXR453GT2WW The ignitor of my gas dryer did not operate, I don't see it getting red to ignite the gas. There may be 3 issues, 1)Main coil 2)Booster coil 3)Thermostats. Am I correct? Which order should I replace the components?
1 Answer Hello! It could be the thermostats or the coils. You will need to test each component to see which one has failed. You can test the parts using a multimeter MA-DM1. Here is a link from our free repair forum you can refer to for help with using a multi meter.
