Tjg March 07, 2021 for Model Number MDG5500AWW Clothes smell faintly like gas after drying. If clothes are left in the drum with the door closed gas can be smelled faintly when the door is opened. However, if there are no clothes in the drum and the door is closed there is no smell of gas when the door is opened. Does this sound like a burner or igniter issue? Thanks.
1 Answer TJG,There are only two possibilities here. Check all connections with a liquid gas detector [soap bubbles] and if you cannot find any leaks then replace the gas valve. WP306176 Read More...
Brian November 11, 2014 for Model Number mdg5500aww I have a Maytag Neptune Dryer. The flame goes on and turns off after 18 seconds. It will then cycle on and off throughout the cycle but won't dry the clothes well. I have already replaced the coils, igniter and flame sensor. Same problem. I have tested the high-limit sensor and it has continuity at room temperature and shuts off when heated in a skillet. It appears that the flame isn't being pushed far enough through the duct and is hitting the hight limit sensor directly. When I take the high-limit sensor out, it runs without being shut off. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Brian, Check and clean the exhaust vent system and vent hood, first. Then check the drum outlet vent WP33001799 and blower wheel and housing WP33001789 for clogs and debris. Your post indicates an air flow issue, you may also have a weak hi limit switch WP303395 , if the dryer has been operating in this fashion for a while. Read More...
John August 22, 2013 for Model Number LDG9316AAE I am having a problem with the burner igniting . The igniter is new and the gas valve coils are new . There is proper voltage to the gas valve and operating thermostat. If I take a screwdriver and touch the igniter to the burn tube the gas valve clicks in and the flame ignites. But it will not ignite on its own. What am I doing wrong?
1 Answer Hello John. You need to check and see if the flame sensor is bad and is causing the issue you are having with the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

John March 26, 2011 for Model Number MDG6000BWW The front diverter like piece on the front of the burner assembly appears to have crumbled. Any reason why this would have happened?
1 Answer Hello John. Usually these break down from the heat. You will need to replace the part. Hope this helps. Read More...
