Donald October 01, 2014 for Model Number LG7081XSW1 I saw the other answer concerning the shutter on the burner tube. On my model should I leave the shutter on or remove it.
Jennifer July 22, 2014 for Model Number kenmore 70 series dryer model # 110.76752500 Let me first say I was lucky to find this site, thank you. I have replaced the thermal fuse and igniter still not heating. Once in a while it will heat with first cycle only then just cold air after that. As it tries to light again I hear a slight chattering sound like its going to work but it doesn't. Do I now replace the coils, flame sensor or burner? I really appreciate all your help in advance. Jen
1 Answer Hello Jennifer. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the coils 279834 are bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Jeff. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly.

Margaret April 17, 2014 for Model Number 11070922990 I need to convert this from LP gas back to Natural Gas. What do I need? Thanks, Margaret
1 Answer Margaret, to convert back to NG you'll need the NG orifice WP234826, limiter WP694424, regulator WP694423, and spring WP694422. Thanks! Read More...
1 Answer Hello Shirley. You will need to test the thermostats and the flame sensor and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check the igniter to see if it is good. If it is not glowing, test for power. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter for the testing procedures. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Chris December 24, 2013 for Model Number lgt8858aw0 This burner appears to have a shutter on it. The one I need to replace on my Whirlpool dryer doesn't have one. Will I need to adjust the shutter on the new one, or does it come pre-set? Or should I just take it off so it looks like the one I am replacing? Thanks.
Bill October 01, 2013 for Model Number LGR7646EQ3 On my LGR7646EQ3 dryer, I have a problem with drying clothes. Both coils have been replaced and ignitor. Intermittently fires burner and when it doesn't fire, there is still raw gas venting to the outside. I have disassembled the entire burner assy. and found that the burner tube has deteriated like a v notch missing from the ignitor area. You would think that this would help ignite the gas better! But it doesn't. Someone else posted a similar problem but did not mention if they still smelled gas. The dryer cycles just fine, but, doesn't ignite all the time! Would it be a safe bet to replace the burner tube so the gas goes straight through, rather, then leaking through the v area of the ignitor? I'm assuming that the tube due to age has deteriated and is effecting the normal burn cycle. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again Bill
1 Answer Hello Bill. If you smell raw gas, you will need to replace the gas valve assembly on the unit. The seals are bad. Read More...
Ryan August 24, 2013 for Model Number TGDS740PQ1 Dryer heats for a few minutes then heat shuts off. I have cleaned the exhaust and the interior off the dryer, replaced the coils with no progress. A few bloggers have said the heat sensor would be next, your thoughts?
1 Answer Ryan, Based on the information provided it sounds like your gas coils may be opening up when they heat up and causing the unit to not work properly. Read More...
Phillip June 11, 2013 for Model Number MFG Part Number: 693140 Even when my gas dryer is off there is still fire coming out the burner. Like I lit candle. It looks like pilot light. But I know it has no pilots. Can you tell me why there is fire even when the dryer has finished the cycle and is off? Thanks.
Glenn March 20, 2013 for Model Number wgd9200sq0 The Dryer stopped heating. I replaced the Glow Igniter which was broken and the coils. Still no heat. Everything else works. Replaced exhaust tube and vacuumed everything out. There's no thermal fuse is there? Could it be the thermostat?
1 Answer Glenn, You will want to check the thermal cutoff WP8573713 which is located on the outside of the burner cone. If it does not have continuity then the thermal is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
